      • Well it is used on official maps. See here. Should I have put it in the lead, or just left in the infobox (btw we have just removed station codes from the lead, I'm afraid.)--ZKang123 (talk) 12:47, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
        • It needs to be somewhere in the article other than just unexplained in the infobox. And referenced, of course. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 14:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

• "glass roof, which is the key feature of the station." glass isn't mentioned anywhere other than in this image caption, so if it's a "key feature" then I would expect it to be covered in the article too. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 07:04, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
