I'm more thinking of closing down Leicester Square and Covent Garden, but building a new station between the two. The model for this is Knightsbridge, which works extremely well apart from some argy-bargy between people who got on at the wrong ends of the train. Any such replacement would enormously increase the capacity of the Covent Garden exit, which I never use now. My preferred route to there is to walk from Temple as this is the most peaceful. A new station would be expensive, but Covent Garden needs some sort of solution, and all will be pricy.One station instead of two reduces staff, current consumption, and brake wear, so in the long term spending more money may be better. |
