let's talk to our reporter at waterloo station, simonjones. last time i spoke to you, simon, but you're probably in a different part of the station. explain what is happening and what sort of stories passengers have been telling you. yes, we have been moving around the station to give you an idea of what's going on throughout the course of the morning. now, already, this is the busiest station in the country. but the aim is to increase the capacity by 30%, but to do that, is going to be short—term pain for some long—term gain. by closing the ten platform the idea is they are going to extend four of them to take increasingly longer trains so they can carry more passengers. now people here just getting can carry more passengers. now people herejust getting on can carry more passengers. now people here just getting on to trains you can see up there on the platform information that services are rubbing, but they are vastly reduced because of lack of capacity, but what they have done interestingly is re—open the five platforms. they haven't been us
