Walthamstow’s Second Entrance

Here’s the rather disappointing view that greeted us when we swung by Walthamstow Queen Street the other day when we were in the area.

Thou shall not pass

Thou shall not pass

About a year ago, they built steps and ramps on the north side of the station to allow another way in and out of the station, but although the access infrastructure was put in place, it was blocked by a temporary gate because the Oyster card readers were not in place.

Well, it’s been over a year now, and yet although the Oyster card readers are now clearly visible in the picture and installed, it seems that officialdom and red-tape is still holding things up, and the entrance is STILL not open … for reasons which we cannot fathom at all.
