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...

Does Clapham Common meet those standards? I've always thought that
must be terrifying during the rush hour.
