About time too. I really welcome such an improvement. the current station, dispite it's regional importance and business, is utterly inadequate for the role it needs to play. I often cannot get into the car park because it is full, and those silly fiddly car park ticket machines are almost the final straw when I am in a hurry to catch a train. I have even taken to using Llanfairpwll station in prefrence to Bangor whenever i can because it is less hassle, and has free parking. However the downside is that fewer trains stop there, i.e. none of the Virgins.
Sirling and Aviemore are similar sized stations to Bangor and it has been interesting to see how they have been very tastefully restored as part of their regeneration, including platform canopies. I haven't seen the plans for Bangor Station but as at guess I'd say that kind of sensitivity and quality just wouldn't happen here? I am sad to say, based on experience. But at least if they give us some more car parking, that is a big functional improvement, so I look forward to it.
