The new Thameslink station has been opened. There are some nice old
bits that I don't ever remember being there (http://

but there's also this : http://www.southernelectric.org.uk/t...hall201211.jpg

That's a nice marble-like wall on one side of the ticket hall. Except,
the thing is, the ticket hall is also supposed to be an entrance to
Crossrail, with the escalators going straight through that wall.

So either they've built a huge expensive glossy wall, just before they
need to demolish part of it, or the wall somehow has the ability to
easily vanish, without drilling.

So what's going on with the wall?
