Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Transport spokesperson, today welcomed the announcement by Transport Secretary Justine Greening MP that passengers on some lines serving commuters on a number of the busiest rail routes from south west London into Waterloo are set to benefit from extra carriages to ease overcrowding, and that one platform at the former Waterloo International Station is to be reopened for commuter services.
Commenting on the decision, Caroline Pidgeon said:
"Last year I revealed that it had cost taxpayers over £4million to keep the platforms at Waterloo International station closed, so it is clearly good news that at least one platform is now to be brought back in to use to help relieve the overcrowding.
"We now need to see a timetable for when the other platforms will be open."
