Default Farringdon to be London's busiest station

I was wondering if the new pedestrian bridges at Farringdon are the
finished article or merely temporary during the works. They feel
quite "wobbly" in places.


The installer went bankrupt, and I think work has been suspended for about 6
months, so there may be some bolts need doing up a bit more...

"This would see Farringdon surpass Clapham Junction as Britain's busiest
train station and bring passengers from outer London closer to the City and
Canary Wharf."


As you (and others) say elsewhere a load of old spin. *


Maybe, but I suspect our (trainspotter’s) definition of busiest might
be rather different to the normals.

I’m guessing those that just pass through Clapham, without actually
getting on or off, are not being counted for the purposes of this
comparison.
