THE two kittens featured on the front page (Evening Press, May 11) are indeed fortunate, they managed to find the only litter bin on York station.

The travelling public is not so fortunate.

For many years there have been no litter bins on the station and one has to continue one's journey encumbered by empty cups and sandwich wrappers.

When is GNER going to reinstate litter bins and make an effort to keep the city tidy?

Chris Polack,

Wigginton Road, York. * A spokesman for GNER said the kittens had not, in fact, been found in a litter bin, but in a waiting room on Platform Nine.

There are no litter bins on GNER stations for security reasons, and the spokesman said York "is one of the cleanest stations in the country"
