Of course, the same could be said for a Metro stop in the new College Green Plaza- imagine coming up where the underground jacks is into a traffic-minimised square… *sob*

How historic are those toilets, I know the cottage Joe Orton frequented was preserved as a monument to something, did the illustrious ever tryst in the college green underground toilets?

When I was young in Galway it was a standing joke to direct tourists to the public toilets by the weir, yes the ones where the urinals empties straight into the Corrib, by claiming they werea subway entrance, can we not play the opposite trick with the CG toilets and turn them into a disguised metro entrance.

(Here is a reference to my preserved cottage factoid: http://www.gmax.co.za/think/history/10/08-joeorton.html, it mentions “slated for preservation” which might be different from preserved.)
