Contractors join builder's station cottage protest
Dave Anderson carried out work as part of the renovation of the station master’s house more than four years ago but claims he is owed £160,000 by Network Rail for expenses incurred.
He has rented out the cottage at Ribblehead which is on the Settle to Carlisle line and is now marketed as a holiday home, and barricaded himself in.
