Default Great Porland Street drips

For several weeks now I have noticed buckets collecting water dripping
from the roof on both platforms at Great Portland Street, the drips
fall onto the track. A member of staff is employed emptying the
buckets. Sandbags lay on the platform to stop the water spreading.
Is this ground water soaking in, or a leaking drainage/water pipe? Is
it going to be fixed or are the buckets long term!?

I was always fascinated by thie at GPS. About 8 years back, they had
copper troughs underneath drippy platform areas which fed into pipes
where the water drained to.

I guess it's just a feature of the station
