Probably best to read the press release TB is repeating:http://www.lsh..co.=

"New stations are also proposed including one at Kensington and
Olympia, where there are plans to let the existing station let to a
retailer following the development of a new smaller station."

I think they're referring to letting out the land rather than just the
building - which is just a small scruffy single storey concrete thing
isn't it?

So, new facilities based on the number of people who currently go
there attracted by services which are about to be withdrawn.

What are you talking about?

Curtailment of services to Gatwick and Brighton in one direction.
It's true that one can still change at East Croydon, but with luggage
direct services are attractive.

Reduction in stops at Watford to the north in the other direction. I
happen to have recent experience of services in both directions being
very useful and making Olympia attractive.
