Yes indeed As someone who commutes through London Bridge and uses the station multiple times per week I think it’s excellent, if perhaps a little cold on the main foyer! Interchanges are a little longer than old London Bridge but that was an armpit of a station and the enhanced GTR service through the new station more than makes up for it.
Anatomically it was rather lower down than an armpit. You’ve got the first two letters right though…
The old station really was a cess pit of a station to use; especially platform 7 !
The new layout is stairs/escalator/lift down to the cavernous area beneath that swallows up passenger volumes.
Displays everywhere that show all destinations and a decent set of shops.
The shop layout I find kinda funky as it's a weird mix of shops that live behind the gate line and on the thoroughfare. Not keen on it and that could be improved.
Even going from Guys to the River is easier.
Platform alterations are easier now as they are paired. This may appear to be operationally efficient but that means it's a benefit to the passenger. No more running down stairs and across a concourse when things go wrong. You literally spin a 180 and bosh ! Yes there are odd changes but that's an exception.
It took me a long time to understand the concept and I was a naysayer at first but many discussions with a certain Mr B Rick on another thread eventually convinced me.
Timetables take a while to bed in and I'm sure it still needs a tweek here and there. Too many factors cause what appear to be "timetable problems"
I'd query whether it's now really "turn up and go" even at London Bridge. If you come off a Charing Cross, Thameslink or Southern train at London Bridge and want to switch to a Cannon Street service, you might be waiting 15 mins. (E.g. next service after the 0952 is the 1007)
Cannon Street is a ghost town for most of the day. It's a heavy commuter station. London Bridge is my default station when meeting people coming from multiple directions. It's also a pretty heavy interchange for the tube. Many many many commuters dive off and head for the underground to cross London.
