Sadness expressed as people learn of closure of Chesterfield station newsagents
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
I went to the station for the first time in a while on Friday night and was sorry to see Platform One News had closed.
I posted about it on my Twitter page and a number of people replied to express their sadness at the news.

One woman said: “Sad to see this, always popped in when I was coming back up.”
“Very sad, it was a very useful service,” said a man.
“We used it a lot on our travels down to London.”
Another added: “Awful news. Hope the numbers stack up in six months’ time and another taker comes along.”
A sign in the window of the empty unit states ‘to let, new opportunity’.
Businesses based at railway stations, along with train operators, have been hit hard by the pandemic.
