Email to Network Rail regarding Liverpool Street

Surprise, *is that all! they must like you. I've had them try and close the gate on me as I go throught with something big - that was fun. I think thats a platform office now issn't it ? - I don't use that side of the station much these days. Ah, thanks. It should still be moved and replaced with ticket barriers I'll double check who actually uses it for what these days - I had a feeling the people from the Pl.1 office ended up in there about a year or so ago. Either way its highley unlikley that NR would remove it and but a gateline in. Not until there is a persistant problem that lands them in trouble and there forced into something. Argh! Taking photos! Mr. Policeman: "Excuse me sir...". If Network Rail had a measure of common-sense, they would know blocking the (already too narrow) walkway was a bad idea. Good point - there is another way. All you need is an 'incident' someone falling over a sign, or getting crushed, caught, injured in some way even better if the staff don't get involved. Then you complain about that and involve whoever you feel you need and make them review the CCTV. That should get something done. Since the staff are down to the TOC you should also contact them about the problems in general. Keep your eyes open for the 'meet the manager/director' events that we have on the main concourse every couple of months. Before everything went 'bad' I used to have a few good contacts who could get things done. Use of the manual gate by able bodied passengers opens all sorts of possibility of passengers using out of date tickets, invalid tickets and such like. I more than commend any staff who don't allow able bodied passengers to go through the manual gate. They are doing their job. What is the point of ticket barriers if people can circumvent them by simply offering a passing glance of their ticket to human eyes? Incidentally, for some reason if you go through the West Anglia barriers then the Great Eastern barriers at Liverpool Street you get a 133 error for re-using a ticket, in the other direction you don't. Now that all platforms are barriered, it would be good if a route between platform 11 and 12 could be opened up (maybe with barrier gates) to allow easy passage between the two sides of the station.

between platform 11 and 12 could be opened up (maybe with barrier gates) to allow easy passage between the two sides of the station. 11 & 12 are adjacent to each other, are they not? Do you mean 10 &11? |

Yes, I guess I do. I was thinking that there were four mainline platforms rather than three. http://www.networkrail.co.uk/documen...tion%20Map.pdf I notice that the barrier between 7 and 8 seems to be left open now but there is no access between 10 and 11. If there was access, it would need to be someway down platform 11 given the Central Line entrance and other facilities in this gap but I don't see why it shouldn't be possible. Then again, perhaps the wall is too think to put a hole in. Jonathan |
