Talk:Cannon Street station

Drain

In April 2006 the Drain (Waterloo to Bank) is shutting for 5 months. I'm going to suggest that a service from Waterloo East to Cannon Street would make a handy substitute.

It could either be a dedicated shuttle, if possible using a turn-back option between Waterloo East and Charing Cross, or at peak hours running existing ECS and outbound trains from Charing Cross via Cannon Street, so that they skip a path around the Thameslink services. The reverse flow and possibly off-peak passengers would go via London Bridge, and in the evening peak the position would reverse - ECS and other services going in 'empty' to form peak hour trains from Charing Cross would run from or via Cannon Street with passengers to Waterloo East.

Could this work - I don't have a good knowledge of the WTT and track & signalling in the area to be absolutely certain of this.

CCTV Cameras

A chap I knew said Cannon Street Station will have more CCTV cameras than some towns. On looking - if they are small towns - he might be right. Certainly each entry or exit appears to have a dozen or more, with many others scattered across the public spaces. Are the staff subjected to such intrusive monitoring? Worth including in the main article - or just a facet of life in London, UK, after the Blair/Brown government? Autochthony queried. 20110303_2205z.81.132.188.132 (talk) 22:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
