Description: | This painting of Waterloo station was commissioned by London Transport in 1998. It is part of a series illustrating the construction of Jubilee Line Extension stations.
Artist Robert Soden has highlighted the complexity of working in a busy operational rail terminal. The top of a newly constructed escalator shaft had to be threaded down through the existing foundations of Waterloo station.
This view, from the new eastern ticket hall, looks through the frameless structural glazing out onto Waterloo Road and Waterloo East station. The positioning gave both the Underground and Railway station a street presence. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Robert Soden | Subjects: | Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1998 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
