Does anyone know when this will be switched on?

I see the new Passenger Air Handling Units on the platforms, and from reading, it seems quite a lot of other work was required...

Will be be ice cold on the platforms? that would be an achievement!

Mind you, I was through there 2 weeks though, so that may have changed.

I saw one of the units at Green Park a few days ago and it was still, by the looks of it ,waiting for the pipe work to be fitted.
