Romsey Residents – Challenging Govia’s Train Wash Plans…

Romsey residents are campaigning to try to stop – or at least mitigate the impact of – the new train wash facility proposed by Govia Thameslink at the back of Gt Eastern Street. It’s also going to affect significant numbers of residents in William Smith Close and Argyle Street – as the trains will be marshalled for washing at the rear of these streets.
The proposed washing operation will run for 24 hours a day, but primarily between 11pm and 6am. Residents are being supported by Romsey Councillor Dave Baigent who is working with Govia and City Council officers.
There is an open meeting with Govia Thameslink about the train wash on Monday 24th Feb starting at 18:30 in the Salvation Army Hall, Tenison Rd. For more information about the train wash and residents’ campaigning, have a look at https://quashthetrainwash.org/.
