It has become a common sight on High Streets to see empty retail units so it is perhaps no surprise to come across the same at railway stations.
In the last couple of weeks a branch of Boots and a Hotel Chocolat have shut on the overbridge at Reading Station

A third unit next door closed earlier

Meanwhile near the ticket office Marks & Spencer has not only closed - it has been demolished!

This is something of an inconvenience for me. Mrs 81D is rather fond of Hotel Chocolat's products, especially their truffles, so it was very useful to be able to take a short train journey to Reading to buy an appreciated gift for any appropriate occasion!
