Have any additional signs become visible since we recently mentioned the
small overhead signs on the back of the PIS displays as you leave the MML
platforms, that appeared to be taped over. Seems many of them need to be
made much bigger, the sort of size you get in most other major stations.


Haven't been there for a couple of weeks. Expecting to go down on Friday
so will report back after that.

Was there yesterday, signage is, as others have noted, terrible. Surely
those arrivals/departure boards are temporary, they look appalling in so
many ways. A bit like some low budget 1970's sci-fi prop.

Quite nice using the "secret" entrance to the underground though, just south
of the huge bronze statue of the couple nuzzling. No doubt use will increase
once there are signs up.

BTW watching the last BBC programmes recently, to me the whole idea of the
statue being an icon for the station has failed on two counts; (1) the tall
glass screens and posts completely ruin any long distance view of the
sculpture and (2) it's not really at a focal point of the station, as all
domestic pax are routed through the undercroft retail area.
