marimoinlondon Why in the world are we walking around in circles to get into waterloo station. #waterloostation #waterloostationnightmare #borisfail
Julia_Moore To get to Waterloo on New Year's Eve, you have to walk twenty to thirty minutes around the area to access the station. FROM THE TUBE!

simonk133 As an SE1 veteran I ignored them with confidence, but most would not.
simonk133 Crushing at Waterloo is not helped by police, stewards etc actively directing people *to* Waterloo rather than e.g. London Bridge.
MacarthurAnna Just arrived at Waterloo treatment centre in time to see projectile vomiting & police restraining a VERY drunk man pic.twitter.com/yvK9HGkU1A
md_villiers An hour walk from Waterloo station to Waterloo station. Surely there has to be a better way of crowd control
ZoeVLewis1 Trying to get to Waterloo at 2am is beyond a joke! Unbelievably poorly organised. Embarrassed to be British right now pic.twitter.com/9yfLDvXqcp
AnyOtherLizzy The queues outside #waterloo are insane, but inside it looks like this... pic.twitter.com/A5hpfCbJ3g
simonk133 Review of NYE at south bank: impenetrable gate system bad. Everything else fine if you avoid Waterloo.
Ldn_Ambulance This patient just arrived with a police escort. He is very drunk & violent #LondonNYE pic.twitter.com/yt3b2lrZS9

missnickydemuth Waterloo is a riot zone with horses... Because of fireworks. This is what happens when the middle class take hold. #itneedstostop

@Helzbels I'm always amazed at the number of people who tweet their rants about mainline trains to London Bridge to TfL

Kat_Drayson Hehe, being shouted at to 'please move slowly' by @TfL staff - many ironic titters in the crowd.
Kat_Drayson And now @TfL staff yelling something via megaphone that no-one can hear. But some near the front are cheering - maybe good news?

Kat_Drayson Crowds for Waterloo station getting increasingly packed together @TfL. No info given - just sound of a helicopter overhead.

Kat_Drayson Chaos at Waterloo- most entrances shut & staff giving conflicting advice on how to get to the station, or even if open. Happy new year @TfL
