Never felt bouncy under me boot... Dunno what ye are on about. I am rather heavy - and they certainly bounce quite a bit  |

Yes, I get that slightly unnerving springback too, and I'm only 10.5 stone!

Never used the station, sounds like a right laugh though

The JLE stations are nice, but then they did cost a lot... When it opened I remember comparing some to a Borg spaceship (in a good way...).
On the subject of seeing trees from bottoms of escalators, you my be able to see a bit at T5 but on some days there the sunlight goes right down to platform level and even shines across the tracks a little!

Yes the JLE stations still look amazing. Only two things let them down, water stains and the wheely whiteboards which always look old and tired. (my own opinion)

I dislike Canada Water station, my local. It wasn't designed with cleanliness in mind and seems permanently grotty, despite recently having a deep clean. I think the 'iconic' style of these stations must have pushed the cost of the extension through the roof.

I used Canada Water the other week to use the ELL, it seems pretty well normal stainless steel here and more stainless steel there
