Crumbs. That was quite a while ago, you know. Been busy, have you?


Oh, since *Westfield* opened. Gotcha. Nevermind.


And I assumed Mumbles was out the other side of Swansea and didn't
make it to the smoke too often (wise man).


I was there on the Sunday after it opened, and in the evening there
was one train an hour, there must have been 250 people on the
southbound side. The 313 was as busy as you have ever seen one. On the
northbound there were a lot of people, all of us wondering how a new
station could be built with no canopies whatsoever, its a horrible
windy and miserable place


Like I was saying in another thread, I bet the attraction of an
interchange to the Central Line is a far bigger draw than Westfield.
