Maybe they'll just have a setup with two coffee bars, one pointing in to the ticketed area and one pointing to the outside world, creating the required physical separation. Seems like an odd arrangement though, and a huge space to be filled by just a coffee shop. The queues weren't short at the old place during rush hour, but I can't imagine there'd be enough trade to support a coffee shop the whole size of the old ticket hall!

Have just thought of an example - a few years ago when I commuted there, there was an AMT at Hammersmith (the H&C line station) which had hatches/servers for both sides of the barrier. So this could work.


The real problem would be that Southeastern would no doubt lease to the highest bidder - so that rather than anything independent and interesting, we'd probably get a Costa.

Waterford airport used to have that arrangement ianjm.

Very useful for the whole liquids nonsense at airport security.

You simply handed your half finished coffee to the staff in the airport foyer side and they gave it back to you in the departure lounge.


In fact thinking about it old Southend airport used to do it too (if you asked very very nicely).

    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
    • It's quite a steep step from memory. The ramp would have to be quite a few feet long to make the angle shallow enough to be safe. Maybe I'm wrong - not an expert.
    • really, it's the fact that a chain is muscling in when there is already one in a small area - if it was just a chain coming to a new area, it's a little different
