Does anyone know why the country end of the Southeastern station is open
to the elements? The value of the approx 100m * 100m airspace, including
the adjacent car park / taxi area, must be eye-watering. I don't think
any diesel trains go in there, so open air is not needed.


There are steam excursions though - about 5 a month in the summeer.


On the Southeastern side?


Yes, usually from Platform 2.
