I think Moorfields is one of the stations I never had need to use when I was on the Wirral, it was always Central or Lime street. Hadn’t realised just how deep below the city Moorfields is! I guess they have refurb all the stations now with this public toilet look with the tiles. I used to love the old brown seats the stations used to have! Brilliant as always Paul, sir!
Rubber floor tiles and glass fibre panels where not a great idea from a fire and smoke safety event ever happening, all looks a bit to clinical now and the white panels are slowly getting covered in brown brake dust, and starting to turn a bit brown
@ never thought about the rubber and glass fibre especially when you think that smoking used to be allowed all over the underground and in the trains but I guess health and safety wasn’t as sensitive back then as it is today. Totally agree about the tiles, gives a clinical / public toilet feel to the place and you nailed it not being very practical when it comes to staying clean due to the brown brake dust, it will be a nightmare to keep it looking clean and fresh! Will always remember the smell of the underground.
@@SamM-oh2cx The tragic fire at Kings Cross station a few years ago made railways buck up their ideas about fire safety, at last, and all flammable stuff had to be removed just in case.Thankfuly nothing happened on Merseyrail fire wise.
