Default The restoration of St. John's Woo Station

Tube Lines[1] say that "thousands of wall tiles will be removed and
replaced with new hand-made tiles to replicate their original 1900s
character", so it sounds as if they are indeed trying to replicate
the original design (which actually dates from 1939).



What an idiotic waste of time and money, it a tube station for
chrissakes.


So?


Given the very finite levels of time & resources for refurbishment of tube
stations.

Wasting it on hand made tiles + the time/expense of fitting them to a
*single* station just beggars belief.
