They absolutely need to open up the steps down to Trafalgar Street again. Give the old khazi a very thorough deep clean and it would make a nice bar/cafe: I remember that passageway as quite a grand bit of Victoriana down there, even if it did smell like the laundry room at an old people’s home.

As a teenager I used to work at WH Smith in the station in its previous iteration as a walk-in shop close to where we now queue for Falmer trains. We had a stock room under platform 8 from where I would go and collect drinks and sweets. The manager was a very nervous man named Tony Llewellyn who had a stammer.
I worked in the two iterations before that. The one at the East end of the station looked a distinct step up on the ones from the late 70s and early 80s.

Mind you, working "Sunday early earned me enough for my beers at the weekend and an Albion ticket.
