;124222']There's some kind of exhibition on at 10 King William Street at
the mo.

There was an article about this in today's Metro. Apparently TfL want to
consult the general public before finalising the details.


I popped into the exhibition on Friday. General plan is a new entrance
to the Bank/Monument complex from 10 King William St, which is why
they had the exhibition there. It's on the road between Bank and
Monument, a bit closer to the Monument end.

There'll be new pedestrian routes from the new entrance to most/all of
the tube platforms, and they'll also be shifting the southbound
Northern line across substantially to increase the gap to the
northbound line, allowing for much more space for pedestrian
circulation.

They need to get TWA approval and they expect there to be a public
enquiry, but the cost will come out of TfL's normal budget.
