Building junk strewn everywhere on the platforms with a grand total of 3 guys in hi-vis standing around chatting. The former terminal entrance now half derelict with the doors missing, fences up along its length and the information board falling apart. What the hell is going on there? How many years has it been now, almost 9? AFAIR they needed to re-do the trackwork just outside, put some ticket barriers in, replace some signs and ... err.. that was about it. What an absolute farce. -- Spud Assuming you mean international, rather than internal, then aren't they Yes, stupid typo. waiting for SWT to receive their new Siemens Desiro units so they can make use of them? Doesn't sound very plausable. Why can't the old trains be used? 2017 was the latest date I heard, so only 10 years of expensive infrastructure wasting away doing nothing - not bad for around here... (although didn't it take them a good 5 years to think of anything to do with them at all apart from as an odd theatre venue?) More than likely. You'd think with the overcrowding at waterloo any TOC worth its salt would be beating the doors down to get at those platforms. But then we all know TOCs are run for the shareholders, not the passengers. If there's no shareholder benefit they're not interested. -- Spud |
