I did purchase the Pencil stylus, Teebin, It's pretty great, the tips wear out pretty quick tho. Thanks Filipe!
It makes sense in those, since they're just like the real thing, but I would've liked King's Cross to not have its name in huge lighted letters, as the real thing doesn't have it, and I also think it's not the best look *cough*tacky*cough*
The real KC:
That's the real KC now, but there are plans in the works to remove the green canopy (which was never meant to be permanent) and replace it with lighted white letters like this:
Here's the story: http://londonist.com/2011/07/the-future-of-kings-cross-station.php
I do think the new design is more pleasing to the eye than the green canopy, in spite of its anachronism. Maybe they're going for something like that.
I am perplexed why they are putting up the tube station signage this soon... there is so much more messy work to complete. Seems frenetic. Frantic even.
Maybe it is because there is electrical work that needs to be done to light the sign and it's a scheduling thing?
Perhaps. I am sure that many of you understand that it isn't ideal. Could it be another example of how far behind they are with the facade work?
I just listened to the Disney Dish Podcast with Jim Hill, and he said that it's like that inside as well. Some storefronts are immaculately finished with signage and all, and right next to it will be one with scaffolding and bare materials that is weeks away from completion. If it's that way throughout, I don't know if that's a sign that the whole thing is behind schedule, or that that's just the standard procedure for this project.
