Does anyone know why the country end of the Southeastern station is open

the adjacent car park / taxi area, must be eye-watering.

I would assume that the disruption that would be caused by building on
top of it would also be eye-watering, so they won't do it until they
need to do some other eye-wateringly disruptive work. The stuff over the
western side went up at the same time as some other major re-working of
the station in the 1980s IIRC.

Thanks, that sounds like the right answer!
