Ian Morley
Why is the roof at Victoria station allowed to leak so much? The main concourse is like a skating rink when it rains and the water pours down the ballustrade next to platform 2 - onto electrical cables.
This cannot be safe for customers.

Hi Ian,
I notice that your response from Northern Rail was pretty generic - has anything been done yet?
If not, I wondered if you might fancy forwarding the issue to the local paper. It's the sort of quirky story they might be able to help with.
I've drafted an email for you: do feel free to edit or overwrite it - or ignore it completely, of course.
Good luck!
Myf Nixon
