London Victoria is so bracing
Does anyone know why the country end of the Southeastern station is open
to the elements? The value of the approx 100m * 100m airspace, including the adjacent car park / taxi area, must be eye-watering. I don't think any diesel trains go in there, so open air is not needed. |

There are steam excursions though - about 5 a month in the summeer. -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |

I would assume that the disruption that would be caused by building on top of it would also be eye-watering, so they won't do it until they need to do some other eye-wateringly disruptive work. The stuff over the western side went up at the same time as some other major re-working of the station in the 1980s IIRC. -- David Cantrell | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david If you have received this email in error, please add some nutmeg and egg whites, whisk, and place in a warm oven for 40 minutes. |
