Lighting Failure At Manningtree Station

There have been reports that there were no lights in the subway at Manningtree station late on Friday evening. The situation was made worse by the wet conditions and it is understood that it was only possible to negotiate the steps and subway with the assistance of a cigarette lighter.

This is totally unacceptable and the MRUA has asked NXEA for an explanation as to why this was allowed to happen and what will be done to ensure it does not happen again.
