Two little bridges like on the side we can, or more? The bridges on this side don't seem like a lot of capacity for such a major station.

Four floors of retail, then ticket hall below that and the platforms below that. I was wondering why they needed such a long building if the trains were below the surface. RETAIL! -- Roland Perry |

Maybe they wouldn't be allowed to have platforms below water. |

They are below water, just like the Jubilee line station. Having built on every scrap of land they are now building on the old docks - so inconsiderate for someone to have dug them in the first place. -- Roland Perry |

They are below water, just like the Jubilee line station. The Jubilee Line station looks like it's entirely below ex-water to me. |

In fact, IIRC they had originally planned teh Jubilee station to be beneath water except for the two entrance pods, but H&S had kittens and they were forced to turn the area between the pods into a park. |

I can assure you that the top half of the escalators down to the booking hall, and the canopies over the entrances, are above water! -- Roland Perry |

It's not as if the docks are required for shipping any more. They are part of the landscape. If not, why didn't they just fill them in when they started building the area - it would have been so much simpler. -- Roland Perry |
