Blackfriars has re-opened

Ok, I've had a gander, and 4 questions strike me: (a) The south entrance is nicely covered in brickwork, and fascinatingly inside the bridge itself, visibly. But there used to be really pretty arches - http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianvisits/6716393459/ http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/ima...o117,o97,j.jpg Were these destroyed? And why were they not reconstructed, or exposed for display for the station (particularly the first)? (b) The tube station has fire exits from the platforms. Why does the fire exit on the Westbound platform go down, when the fire exit on the Eastbound platform goes up? (c) The ticket office has a balcony above it, and there's a blue tube. Its subtle, but on the mockups, there is a public spiral staircase round the blue tube. Whats it for, and what is the purpose of the balcony? http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/1...friars1mp5.jpg http://www.networkrail.co.uk/assets/...65c77bfc06.jpg (d) The ticket office used to be 1 floor below ground level (connecting to the passage under the road), and now its on ground level, so how come the stairs seem to be the same length, and only about one floor long? The new Blackfriars reminds me somewhat of SPI. |
