Scrapping the SRA May Bring Arena Station

It is hoped that the new body which will replace the Stategic Rail Authority may allow a train station to be built at the Arena.

Brian Woods-Scawn told the CET: "The station is not just about football fans. We need to present all visitors to the development site - workers,shoppers and concert-goers - with as many alternative modes of transport as possible.

"The argument was there would not be enough trains to cope at peak times,but the transport network as a whole will cope better if the railway takes some of the strain.
