UPDATE: This from a Mr Holt...
I was amused that the dump that is Macclesfield could claim to be Cheshire's best kept station.
However, best staffed station could well be very accurate.
I travelled through it daily around about 2005/6 and used to make a point of counting the Virgin staff in the morning.
8 was about the norm for a station with one entry point 2 platforms, one an island.
Highlights included arriving on a Sunday to renew a season ticket at a time when for months on end all trains were running via Wilmslow.
I was told they could not do it as they were short staffed.
Short staffed? There were 3 people on duty and no trains!
