While I agree that the station in its current guise the station is not very passenger friendly, the building itself is a fine example of the 19th railway station. While I fully expect that the railway station requires expansion and a major upgrade, I would be very cautious of IE involved in a PPP with a developer where the developer gets to build 000's of apartments and in return builds a railway station as part of the deal for IE. I can guarantee that the railway station would be an uninspiring building which would would age very quickly and passagners expections would fall short.
