    Worst London station in rush hour

    Highbury & Islington. Especially during the perfect storm at peak evening hours when Arsenal are playing at home and trains on the Underground, Overground and North London Line all pull in at the same time. Only one exit up from the deep level lines. That station is dire need of better access.

    Waterloo Station Upgrade

    Perhaps, everything about this area seems to be shrouded in mystery though. No, still gated off.

    Waterloo Station Upgrade

    The stairs from P20-24 down to the Orchestra Pit and the subsequent right turn access down further stairs to the Underground are now open during peak hours. Some using them but lots of people still going on to the concourse or via P19. Nearly everyone in carriages 6-10 now using the escalators...

    Waterloo Station Upgrade

    There are some signs but not obvious. Reason for the closure is escalator refurbishment: https://twitter.com/LondonWaterloo/status/1149367992159002625

    Waterloo Station Upgrade

    At least until the retail down there gets going. Saw a sign this morning saying afternoon/evening peak is 3.45pm to 8pm.

    Waterloo Station Upgrade

    Once down the stairs you can go back on yourself to the escalators but think that's still longer than going via the concourse (assuming going to the Underground). The displays have been missing services since the temporary opening last year. Can't understand why they haven't resolved that.

    Waterloo Station Upgrade

    Orchestra Pit now open although lifts, escalators and toilets not in use when I came through in off peak so no real benefit yet.

    That's been open for a while. It's the access to the orchestra pit that isn't open yet.

    Any apps / web sites to see arrival time of a train that's already left departure station?

    Looks like the developer is on the case. He now works for Apple... https://twitter.com/daveaddey/status/1092848358153179136

    Old Oak Common Station construction

    South Ruislip to Denham Golf Club would be relatively easy to four track but between Denham Golf Club and Gerrards Cross there are two massive viaducts, Chalfont Viaduct No. 1 over the M25 and Chalfont Viaduct No. 2 over the A413. The costs involved to four track that section would be eye-watering.
