I don't see why they should be allowed to pull down things like the
buildings on Cowcross Street and replace them with some huge office

it all, like at the forecourt of St. Pancras, or at least to rebuild
it according to the new design if its too expensive to reuse the same
bricks etc.


Why? Should all new trains be built to look like the Rocket?


That would be nice.
