I cannot fault the reconstruction of Liverpool
Street Station. Would that our architects had taken the same care
with our other termini.

It was a stroke of genius to remove the step-free direct access from the
street to the platforms which made it easy to get bicycles on and off
trains and replace it with steps up and escalators or steps down!

I can. The old station had many flights of stairs up to the walkway
that ran the entire width of the station. Now there are far more
conflicting pedestrian routes, making it very difficult to get around
the concourse when it's busy.
