Bow Road station mini-update: (6 months after upgrade)
• They've started playing classical music over the loudspeakers in the Bow Road ticket hall. Maybe it's to keep the station staff entertained, or maybe it's just to keep the local youth passing through quicker.
• As part of Metronet's £3½ million station upgrade, Bow Road was blessed with a new floor surface. Not the platforms, just the stairs and the ticket hall, all with some special kind of white rubbery sheeting. But recently all of the new flooring has been covered over with black lino, stuck down in several places with even blacker adhesive tape. There must be something wrong with the old white surface - maybe it's already curling up at the edges, or maybe it's over-slippery and dangerous in wet weather. Whatever the case, it looks like "new improved" Bow Road is falling apart already.
