It is a very practical station with a fine, high ceilinged, cool in summer,
warm in winter Great Hall. *Shame the late Mr Breen is no longer around to

You would presumably prefer the freezing cold, stinking of diesel
Paddington, with its IMO not at all tasteful combination of old and new?

No Paddington has been ruined. The degradation started with the
carbuncle on the north side.

Liverpool Street is rather good.

Why the dumb plinth at Euston. One has to climb steps to enter, only
to descend ramps to the platforms.
