Might be an even better idea if they had some free water fountains on each
platform.

It wouldn't be allowed by H&S. Water would have to be in sealed containers.


I remember that when I was a sprog Barons Court had a fountain on at
least one platform.

Fountains in parks etc were more common than now. One I remember still
stood six months ago in the entrance to the park near Turnhan Green
station.Not the park directly opposite,the one other side of the
bridge. ISTR that it and others like it (big brown things) had metal
cups attached by chains as well.
And I also remember being admonished for taking a drink from a horse
trough of which there were still working examples around.
Despite availing myselfs of these facilities which have been withdrawn
now because of Health concerns I seem to have not suffered.
Needed a visit to a GP last year due to a broken ankle.
Found since my last visit which was to register back in 1974
that the practise had closed and flats built on the site.
