I particularly like the new Westminster station --- you get off the train, leave the platform, and you're at the bottom of this huge vertical space, full of support girders and zigzagging diagonal escalators. You ascend through this, with new views becoming visible at every turn, and eventually the ceiling comes into view overhead, looming over you before the escalator passes through it...
It reminded me intensely of some of the Portal 2 levels.

Overall, I think it's a success (a different architect was chosen for each station). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10460471/Roland-Paoletti-Obituary.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10460471/Roland-P...
