Yep. Spacious, airy, practical and warm. Everything that a number of
other main termini are not.

King's Cross, you mean? Also gorgeous architectually, but a brute of a
place to actually use..

Kins Cross suffers badly from a combination of the split between the
main and suburban train sheds and creeping retailisation on the
concourse. The new concourse ought to improve both of those, at least
a bit.

It does seem that TPTB have woken up to the idea that filling every
available bit of floor space with retail units isn't actually a good
idea - they get in the way of people who don't want to use them, and
at busy times the crowds of travellers get in the way of those who do
want to use them.
