It appears Deptford station is actually just an extremely expensive "staircase". I'm sure the architect concerned is not exactly an habitual train user! I particularly love the waterfall effect of the overlapping canopies, having to dodge not one but two drenchings before finally alighting the train.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-36427260413894038582013-03-17T16:17:07.310+00:002013-03-17T16:17:07.310+00:00If this station was in say,West London, you can be...If this station was in say,West London, you can bet that there would be constant cleaning of the place!

TfL and the mayor are lobbying quietly for these lines, as far as Dartford and Sevenoaks, to go to TfL.

So much glass covered in a sticky dust, unreachable structural steel white surfaces covered in dirt, cheap rusting stainless steel, shiny slippery floors and stairs, a platform canopy that sheds rain onto the waiting passengers, no shelter from the cross winds..... all for how much? £5m?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-13611954378342033362013-03-12T02:34:24.226+00:002013-03-12T02:34:24.226+00:00There is a constant smell of urine at the station....There is a constant smell of urine at the station. Really gives a bad impression of the area.

During busy commuter time! Worrying still, the part where he was relieving himself is directly over the staircase, so any commuters already walking down the stair would have had a nice spray from above!
