There was concern for a while when someone up the command ladder suggested merging the Swanage and St Albans teams in one location (probably at St Albans due to the land available). Another idea briefly looked at was moving both stations down to a new joint station at Coombe Corner, thankfully (not an idea I liked!) this plan was scrapped as no land could be identified and we then got assurances that the teams would not merge.
Today the Senior Management acknowledge that both stations are required, whilst only a few miles apart, readers will be aware summer traffic is a nightmare and getting between locations is a problem, both regularly back each other up at cliff incidents (Last Saturday night for example) so its important to leave things as they are.
The good news is whilst Swanage is having a new building, John and his team at St Albans are also having a major refit to bring their station up to date.
