Parts of the canopies are linked by metal grids over the trains. They
look like they were put up to support a glass roof but the roof was
cancelled. Does anyone know what's going on? And why are they only a few

People tend not to walk too far from the entrance even with a full
length canopy IME. Full length trains (TL being probably the main
exception) don't run all day but when they do there will tend to be
less time to wait while at other times the trains will be shorter.
Finally - it costs less money not to go all the way with canopies.


The canopies are, I believe, full length, but the metal grid joining the
canopies over the tracks is a few carriages long.
