Slide installed to help busy commuters

This is not a play park, it is in fact a station.

A giant slide has been installed in a Dutch railway station to ease congestion at rush hour and make commuter's lives easier. This looks like an excuse for big kids to play on their way to work to me.

Utrecht-based firm HIK Ontwerpers installed the slide whilst renovating Overvecht railway station. I somehow cannot imagine health and safety allowing such a feat at a London station. I think in England we'll have to continue getting our perks on our way to work by walking up the down escalator. We could however take it one step further and install monkey bars and rings, so commuters can swing over the tracks to different platforms with ease...

Watch this space.
