I agree, I hate that ultra modern look on everything because it looks shit after a few years. Like the sky dome etc…looks really shitty nowI dunno
They've gone for the ultra modern design but that's what they did in the 60s and it quickly looked dated. Isn't this going to end up doing the same?
I would love an Iron Man house.I agree, I hate that ultra modern look on everything because it looks shit after a few years. Like the sky dome etc…looks really shitty now
Same with houses…think when people build a house and try and make it look like ironman houses they look out of place and cheap and will look weathered in a few years
Me too!
Yep something almost Eastern Bloc about it.The frontage reminds me of a 60s building
That's because it is. 1962 and Grade II listed. Festival of Britain. Modernist with a lot of glass, hence why it looks quite bland, blocky and utilitarian.The frontage reminds me of a 60s building
In fairness HS2 isn't just about journey times, it's about releasing capacity on existing lines.It's not that much mate. At 110 billion over the next twenty years, it's only costing us just over £625,000. An hour.
For those of you in the cabinet, who perhaps don't like to deal in small change, that's about £15 million per day.
But it's only for the next 20 years, and after that we're free and clear to enjoy the 15 minutes it'll save us into London, if you happen to live close enough to the interchange and you can afford a ticket, of course.
If I had any faith they'd keep the existing routes as they are and not cut them....In fairness HS2 isn't just about journey times, it's about releasing capacity on existing lines.
The country needs to get real about major infrastructure project, the government spends a lot of money but that's all going into the real economy. We need a lot lot more of it.
Well you'd hope to see a healthy price differential between the two services.If I had any faith they'd keep the existing routes as they are and not cut them....
GuiltyYes, true, but most people haven't even noticed it's open yet and are still using the old entrance.

Yes. There will be 5 retail outlets, but the delay in the station opening set back the interest and contracts on the shops. The station opening was well over a year late.Finally got in there today, not going to lie it looks pretty but where are the shops?

Yea let’s hope next time I am there shops will be openYes. There will be 5 retail outlets, but the delay in the station opening set back the interest and contracts on the shops. The station opening was well over a year late.
One cafe/restaurant had clearly signed up, as there was a sign on the door, but that was when the station was due to open and months later, it still hadn't and now the sign has vanished.
Pity, as it is now just an empty part of the station with nothing to do and nowhere to go.
