Apart from via the platforms, the two Booking Halls (and, indeed, the

platforms, there's probably a good case for closing off the subway
linking the two and going back to calling the Bakerloo Line platforms
Trafalgar Square.

I can see the logic in going back to calling the Bakerloo Line platforms
Trafalgar Square, but not in closing off the subway linking the two.
Apart from the safety benefits of having a link, it's a lot more
convenient for the passengers going to Charing Cross to catch a train.

But it's such a long, depressing corridor. I'd rather leave by the South
Africa House exit and walk across the Strand. It may take a minute or two
longer, but it *feels* much shorter. Better yet, why not reopen the
escalators via the old Jubilee Line concourse? They'd also break up the
walk and make it feel shorter.
