Waterloo International platforms – a wasted resource
8 February 2010 - 9:20pm — Administrator
As part of the London Liberal Democrats' Campaign For Better Stations, Caroline Pidgeon joined south-west London MPs Ed Davey, Tom Brake and Susan Kramer on a visit to Waterloo station.
The Waterloo International platforms, which Eurostar trains used until their move to St Pancras in 2007, are still completely unused - in such a congested station as Waterloo, this is a wasted resource which should be put to use to improve services for commuters from south-west London.
Across London, the Lib Dems have a 5-point plan for better rail stations:
- Your station should be staffed through the hours trains are running
- Your station should be deep-cleaned and all "grot-spots" removed
- We need a website where you can report any problem with your station
- All available station entrances must be kept open for you to use
- We need investment to make stations fully accessible
