London Overground restores station waiting room thats been closed for 40 years

Funded by Transport for London (TfL) and Railway Heritage Trust (RHT), the project has restored the long-disused building on platform 1 into a new public waiting room, along with an accessible toilet and additional staff spaces. While clearing out the building, which had been closed for 40 years, the team unearthed remnants of Victorian furniture, including three heavily damaged benches. While one bench was beyond repair, two were able to be restored and are now in the waiting room.
