RAILSCOT can exclusively reveal that the reason for the last delay in the opening of the first new station in Worcestershire for a hundred years and one week is to allow clandestine night time trials of airliner-inspired inflatable, illuminated escape chutes. Unfortunately as we were not officially invited to this trial, we could not quiz GWR technical staff as to why passengers were expected to detrain from a power car. Perhaps it was the only place they had room to fit the slide?
