No please - they should be digging down in the tunnels. No light of

Point of order - the deep level platforms at Paddington will have
daylight along their whole length, via a massive slot in the ground
above.


It would be good if a similar arrangement could be made for the
surface-level suburban platforms...


See latest liaR (I think - can't find any reference online but read it
in the last few days) - NR has agreed to rebuild the surface-level
suburban shed to the same style as the other spans, having failed to
get permission to knock it down Liverpool Street style...
