While commuters
were generally positive that the station would be impressive when
complete, they were concerned that work would not be finished before
the commencement of the Games and that this would give visitors
a bad impression.
However, speaking
on 大象传媒 2002, Railtrack representative Peter Clough was confident
that the public areas would be ready in time. "We've always
committed to completeing the project by the 24th July and we're
definitely on target to improve on that." he said.
"We understood
that people, visitors and competitors would be coming through station
prior to the 24th July and we're endeavouring to get all of the
main public areas completed by the end of this week."
