Very pleasant surprise. First time that there hasn't been a queue to get
off the platform and at the time I'm arriving the barriers are always
open anyway (c07:25). Admittedly my train started at Watford Junction
this morning so there were a lot fewer people on the train than normal.

Are the barriers permanently gone or will they be coming back?

The corner office is being removed to apparently double the number of
gates. Not entirely sure how that adds up given the size of the office
is quite small, but that's the plan.

Yes. Found that out this morning. Queues to get off the platform again
because of the limited space around the end of platforms 10.

I'm not sure how much more gates will help unless there is more room for
people to get to them all.

Although hopefully they'll put in one or two of those wide gates for
people with bikes/prams/large suitcases etc rather than the manual gate.


Ever just been tempted to leave via the 'undercroft' service road?
