Walthamstow Central

The worksite looks perilously close to "break through" of the final bits of the wall. And having used Walthamstow this evening I can confirm that both the ticket office and the subway link are open. The office protrudes a little into the ticket hall but has a full glass frontage with some side panes mirrored. The window is designed to serve both sides of the gateline which has been realigned with the manual gate back by the office. The link subway is open and you descend about 8 steps into the subway. A Multi fare and 2 advanced fare machines (converted few fares) are in the new POM enclosure. Half away along the subway are automatic fire doors. You then face a mountain range of steps up into the bus station! At present the r/h side walkway to the lift is caged off - this is no surprise given the upper landing is behind hoardings as well. Once up the stairs you step out into the bus station without getting wet - much appreciated today. Much less conflict between pedestrians and buses at the bus station exit which is a blessing. It's also possible to walk under cover from almost the high street right to the Liverpool St platforms for "one" services which I think people will find very convenient. There were porters provided at both ends of the subway link - presumably to assist those laden with bags or pushchairs / buggies. What I could not tell was whether there is a mini lift at the ticket hall end of the subway or not. Nice to see it almost finished - just the lift to go. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
