Spacious platforms, clean and well lit but not inspiring and, as yet,
minimal advertising.


Hmmm...sounds a bit like City Thameslink.


Compared to City Thameslink, I found SPILL more pleasant - brighter,
lighter, and much more spacious. Like some other parts of St Pancras,
it does have a very gallic/continental feel - made me think of the RER
in Paris, or the new underground stations in Berlin such as Potsdamer
Platz. Agreed that it's not very inspiring. The mezzanine in
particular is a massive space with huge blank walls which could surely
have been made more interesting to look at.
