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.

No it wouldn't. The Rocket was a locomotive, so it couldn't carry many
passengers if any, and it could be very unpleasant travelling on it at
this time of year.

As far as I am concerned it would be nice if all new trains were built
with more seat width (there are an awful lot of fatties commuting into
London these days) and more leg room.
