Whilst the trainshed part of the station appears nearly finished, the
undercroft areas would still appear to be requiring a fair bit more
work - it is however hard to tell, given that there's no public
access
to these areas. There were lots of workmen wearing hi-vis jackets
stating "Retail fit-out", so perhaps things are nearing completion.
Still plenty of other workmen around the place beavering away at this
and that though.

They were still working away furiously today. The M&S Food shop looked
even more skeletal than normal. They also have to remove the enclosed
scaffold from the opening ceremony which was still obstructing much of
the area open to the public at street level today.

I wandered through the public undercroft area this morning. The scaffold
is gone so the area is now light and open. Only 3 shops, those nearest to
the LU Western Ticket Hall, were open. M&S Food store said it would open
on Friday 16th at 7 am.

There seemed to be a lot of people up in the champagne bar. Some sort of
opening party?
