Stratford Regional

There are now additional platforms for the NLL, major changes to the subways, ticket halls, and an additional westbound Central line platfom allowing exit on both sides of the train. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/initiative...ord/scheme.asp Might be more logical to renumber the platform faces 1-19 though! Hope it is of interest What ****es me off most is when you want to go from Stratford to Liverpool Street and you have to choose between platforms 5 and 10 (so far apart). I think it's 9, but it's the same island, far from platform 5. I don't suppose there's any way that the new scheme will mean that all the trains that do this last stop of the route will end up at the same platform, is there? Nah, just get the Central Line. This reminds me of a time under FGE when I was getting a train the other way which was shown on the screen as running from platform 10, but when I got there I noticed that there were some of those yellow things with red lights on the track just beyond the platform. I went to platform 8 where some staff were, and they apparently had no idea about it, although the blocks must have been there for several hours (it was late morning). Next thing is they are announcing the train as about to arrive at platform 10 (pretty sure it was a local announcement). Being dubious about this, I decided to head for the train arriving at platform 8, but many people were still on platform 10. The announcement of the platform change was made just as the train left, with me on it and everyone else still on platform 10. At a station where announcements are made claiming that trains are running on tracks that have been physically blocked all morning, I don't think there's much hope of ever knowing where to stand. |
