comparative more uncharitable · superlative most uncharitable
- Not charitable
It would not be uncharitable to pass a poor verdict on the majority of post-war small station designs. With some exceptions, they have ignored their surroundings in terms of style and materials, and they have failed to provide the welcome and amenities that waiting passengers deserve.
