OIC. So that was the platform in use but they are abandoning it? Why adopt a more costly option like that? I think the main practical reason might be to allow them to provide one less lift when they get round to the access improvments. A single lift to access (newly renumbered) P5/6 can easily be provided at the same level as the P1/2 footbridge and the lift to P3/4. There's also a possibility that easy cross platform interchange was a separate aim, arriving from Gypsy Hill (into new P6) it might potentially be the best place to transfer to a waiting LO service standing in new P5 - depending on your final destination.

They're gone today, so probably done earlier in the week as there was absolutely no sign at about lunchtime. Looked like the old P4 'one person operation mirrors' will be next to go, they've been turned away from the live tracks... Paul S |

Paul S I think they were doing the seating on Thursday morning, I got there about 10.43 and they were busy then! |
