[Image taken 19.6.21] York rail station. Pre-covid pandemic this was a polluted, chaotic and therefore hazardous area for people on foot, on cycles and in wheelchairs. There were more active travellers than drivers or passengers. Yet it felt as if the people who were not in vehicles were the interlopers. The car park is now closed. Plus the barrier see: #170493, the gap through which changed in width but only permitted one cycle or one, max two pedestrians, through at a time, has gone. It is suddenly a much more relaxed and safe-feeling space where people can move comfortably and in their natural groups. The pollution from the trains still makes the air reek, though. Other images at the station today see: #170487 and links.
