No-one suggested that the concourse at Liverpool was in any way "off topic".

What I did question was why you were blaming Cityrail for the problems you
identified when Cityrail had nothing to do with the designing or building of
the infrastructure that you mention.

I am regularly amused by posts which blame this or that problem on bodies
(in this case Cityrail) that have no responsibility in the matter.

If you have problems with features of the Liverpool station area thats fine
and you may well be right but why not complain to/about the responsible
bodies, in this case DOT and Liverpool City Council.
