I've put this under SSR rather than Met or Circle/H&C hope thats right.
The new-ish footbridges at Farringdon, the two that form a vee shape at the western end across all for tracks and platforms, are these permanent ?
The structures look permanent, but only this week I've used them regularly for the first time (knock on effect of ongoing fcc chaos) and the floor surfaces looks and feels and treads like something very temporary - in fact, very much like the temporary platform surfaces on parts on (fcc) platform 4.
I've always assumed they are permanent features as part of the general station upgrade and 12car works and readyness for Crossrail.
Ohh yes, while on the subject of Farringdon, has anyone else noticed that massive meccano like structure protruding from the wall of platform 1, talk about OTT for a (?)CIS (?)CCTV mounting ?

They are currently suffering because the surface seems designed for inside use and the temporary fabric roofs on the bridges don't seem very good at keeping the weather out. The trainshed roof will be extended as part of the rebuild and hopefully the bridges will then be resurfaced.
