Reading about the multiplier effect (“Create Streets”), I can’t help wondering if this is a useful effect of Social Media.
Despite going nowhere near the Northumberland Line, I’ve seen plenty of videos about it. I know how nice the car parks are, how long the trains are how good the service is.
No amount of advertising could match the recommendations from the Geoff’s, Nicks and Jens on YouTube. And the accessibility of these new stations to Newsham means that people will give it a go and find out for themselves.
Social Media not ALL bad!
In the station for Manchester piece, I assume that Earlsfield (on map and in text) is meant to be Earlstown.
