It's interesting that the 1920s rebuild retained both the bridge and access
to the main concourse (note later bricking up):

Clearly they understood its utility. Unfortunately, given the traffic
into Charing Cross, it was completely impractical.

which comes out at ground level at the back of these stairs (now replaced

When I first used Waterloo in 2010 having been away for many years, I
was pleasantly surprised to see the new footbridge to Waterloo East.
It is a big improvement over the previous arrangement.
