Richmond seems like a nice place. It has a pleasant riverside, a good
variety of shops, and pretty good public transport.

What consideration has been given to closing the road outside the
station to private vehicles, given that they can't stop there anyway


Doesn't it even have an exemption to allow cars to stop for the
length of time that it takes to drop someone off at the station? Many
station forecourts have short-term parking which allows you to stop
for up to 20 minutes on station business (ie dropping off, picking up
of buying a ticket for travel later).

I'm trying to remember whether Richmond station fronts directly onto
the road or whether it has a layby where taxis etc wait.


It has a layby.
