Default Waterloo & City

Just took the reopened drain and staff were giving out free mints and
oystercard holders! Is this Metronet's way to win the hearts of
Londoners??
I see they've also created a raised section in the centre of each
platform to allow level access. I haven't noticed this anywhere else -
do any other LU stations have this yet? Trains and stations very
bright and pleasant, and the ride seemed *very* smooth.

The free gifts were probably in anticipation of this mornings signal
failure and closure.


Well, at least it reopened same day.
