It might sound simple to resolve, too, with a bit of extra concrete,
but unfortunately there is a huge wall in the way and the estimated
cost is a staggering £7n. The issue is now the subject of a major
dispute between all the players - developer Westfield, Transport for
London and the safety inspectors. There seems no easy resolution, but
someone is going to have to cough up £7m for what will be the most
expensive 18 inches of railway platform in the world.

Sounds like utter ********, which wouldn't be surprising given the
general ****poor quality of the Eye's railway reporting. A fiver says
it opens with LO branding and the current platform length on November
11.


Its been mentioned somewhere a few weeks ago which I can't find at the mo,
and it isn't the length, its the width, the yellow line is in the middle of
the platform...
