The Canonbury Interchange In The Wet

Passengers going from Stratford to stations on the East London Line, often change at Canonbury, where it is a walk across from North London Line trains going West to East London Line trains going South, which are pften timed to be in the station together. I often do the change, as after one stop to Dalston Junction station, I can get any number of buses to just around the corner from where I live and can get home without crossing any roads.

A few days ago, I did the change in the wet.

The Canonbury Interchange In The Wet

Recently, Transport for London have placed a shelter in the middle of the platform, so it was a run from the Westbound train into the shelter and after a few minutes, another run straight from the shelter into the open door of the Southbound train, from where I took the picture, just as another Westbound train was arriving.

Canonbury station is an excellent example of how good design can improve the daily lives of everybody.

So often modern designs look good, but just annoy a lot of the population, who aren’t in the designer’s age, sexual and ethnic group.
