But there you go it's official Paragon Station is the best large railway station. I have to say the old booking office is special Not so special is when you've not slept for 48hours jumped off the train from London and the Driffield trains about to leave the ticket machines not working there's no one in ticket office and you're told to download the app when you're heads not just a shed but a large empty building off the A63...... World just all **** off Anyway I got home eventually
Sounds good, one day that stretch of Ferensway is going to have Hammonds fully let, a Hull Tap opened in the old station ticket office, the Royal Station Hotel regenerated and reopened to the public and the Monocle fully let and thriving.
The hotel will get a full renovation (no area left untouched) when its current contract ends, and at no cost whatsoever to owners Britannia Hotel Group.
Spooky. I walked through the station earlier this week, first time for many months, and did actually think this all looks quite decent actually (bar the abhorrent situation with the Royal Hotel of course). As for a lot of the rest of the city centre and many of the people in it .... ... I despair.
A win win win for Britannia, bought it cheap because it was in need of modernisation , getting paid for housing guests, and then get the refurb paid for.
