Default Farringdon - new overall roof

Shame about the 'style' of the new footbridge and all the different
access steps between the two sides of the island platform though.


It's a bit of a botch job, isn't it? Hopefully the finished article will
be a bit more user friendly! At the moment it couldn't be more
disabled-unfriendly if it tried.


I thought from previous discussions that the roof part of the new footbridge
(that gives it the tubular effect) was temporary - but the 'metal trough'
stays unfortunately.

Clearly all the facilities built to modern standards such as lifts and
escalators will be in the new Thameslink/Crossrail station building south
of Cowcross St, with the far north remaining basically as it is now, with
the Turnmill St side entrance completed.
