![]() I had my first look at the rebuilt station last night. The west side has a massive ramp connecting the footbridge to the street, ideal for a football crowd. However, there is a lift from the new footbridge to the island platform, as well as two steepish staircases, neither of which would be very safe for a crowd... one of the staircases is marked as out of use during stadium events, but it's not obvious why one staircase is dangerous and the other is not, in fact having both open should be safer. The east side of the station also has a massive ramp, even though there is obviously no stadium on that side, and there is nothing but an industrial estate and tube depot (not station), so football crowds using that side would be minimal. There is a staircase short cut, and that is also marked as out of use during stadium events, even though there will presumably never be more than a handful of people on that side of the station. It all seems baffling and botched, as well as hideous compared to Meridian Water. -- Basil Jet recently enjoyed listening to Pond - 2013 - Hobo Rocket |
