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).

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
