Basingstoke Train Station Revamed

[tezer]

Is it me or is this look disappointing, SWT are just revamping the ticket area but it really does not suit the building.

One can only hope it will look better in reality but by the looks of it I'm inclined to say it's a modern misfit.

Looks to me like the change will be on the left hand side of the "before" picture which is a bit of a brick-and-glass affair anyway... the pretty bit to the right is going to be more or less untouched - ie right of the clock.

At least they're not going all Strasbourg on it's arse

I actually think it looks alright, I don't see what all the fuss is about tbh have you seen the rest of Basingrad?

It's not perfect, but at least it'll help the chronic congestion we get in the peak.

I have to say, trying to cram all the equipment into the temporary [portakabin] ticket office was quite amusing

Its a glass and steel addition, probably the most sympathetic thing you're going to get. At least they didn't go for a Stalinist concrete carbuncle!

At least it's not the reincarnation of the original Birmingham New Street!
