Yo Victoria Rant

[joggerjayne]

Are there any other users of Victoria Station?

I only do because it's where you end up if you get on the train here.

But it's really a dump. All the London stations have been done up. Kings Cross has been modernised. St Pancras has the very jolly Champagne Bar. Even Liverpool Street has had a facelift.

But Victoria?

Are they planning to make it obsolete, or something?

And the area. I had lunch at Yo Sushi today, which was nice enough. But the whole area is just a sh-hole. I know they've got the Palace, and all that, but ... what a dump.

Anyway, there we go. Victoria rant. Hope we've all had a good day. A good day, meaning ... didn't have to spend it in Victoria!

I expect that there are other users of Victoria Station, in fact I believe several people use it.

[shoota]

Which one are you JJ?

[joggerjayne]

Shoota is probably right.

Come to think of it, there were other people there today.

Mind you, that's the last time I buy a ticket to Victoria. It's like turning up in a hotel room and finding three families sleeping in there.

You've obviously met your Waterloo ;-)

[joggerjayne]

Shoota, the girl on the right is looking at me, and saying ...

"Could you get off the stage please. You look embarrassing in those old joggers and that baggy tee shirt."

[joggerjayne]

Waterloo gag ... in the net! ... best answer!

[tamborine]

[joggerjayne]

I congratulate Network Rail on their ability to produce a lengthy document (about the redevelopment of Victoria Station) that doesn't actually tell you anything!

However I do know that the whole of the area around Victoria Station is due for major redevelopment. That's because I was one of 3 supervisors, monitoring 45 staff, capturing data about pedestrian movements in the area some time ago.

In the bank would've been better.
