Cost, I suppose, but it would be a very short tunnel, and I can't imagine that there's lots of buried infrastructure there. But the interchange works very well as it is - far better than most NR to underground interchanges, especially those at the London NR termini. I can't imagine Westfield sponsoring a tunnel whose only benefits are that you could avoid getting wet when it's raining, and can avoid the entrance to their shopping centre altogether. Second, why no roof over the platforms? Both platforms are pretty much entirely exposed to the elements, so when it's raining people wait on the stairs. I agree that the station is taking minimalism rather too far, but it's on a very cramped site. I don't see that a cramped site has any bearing on providing a roof over a platform. It's the ridiculous cost that Network Rail seems to incur with any of their projects. I 'm too lazy to do the sums but simply put if a roof cost ?100,000 and served 100,000 pax p.a. then cost is ?1 per pax per annum. With life of 25years then cost is 25p per pax p.a. 4p per passenger per annum! tom -- Please! Undo clips before opening handle.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks.
