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!?

There's a sign in the ticket hall that says that Thames Water are
investigating a leak.

Investigations are obviously slow!
