Lea Bridge station covered footbridge
The new edition of Modern Railways shows that the footbridge being built
at the soon-to-reopen station is covered. Is it a new standard that all
footbridges have to be covered? Since the platforms appear to be mostly
uncovered, in bad weather people will crowd on the footbridge while they
are waiting for trains and then sprint down the stairs when the train
arrives, so it seems dangerous as well as being an unnecessary expense
if the bulk of the platforms are not going to be covered as well.
