I doubt it'll be used as a waiting room? It'll probably be a wedding/function venue.
I'd hope for a venue open to bookings by the community, with lots of public use. I doubt it'd work well as a wedding venue to start with considering that the immediate surroundings are still ... unprepossessing. :) Let's hope they get somewhere with plans to spruce up the approaches to the station.
I find it astonishing that rooms like this remain closed off for so long. I remember first walking into the old Hackney Central station building a few years ago and being amazed. (Unfortunately, that didn't become a public venue but a private one. The building must have been sold back in the day, as I think the platforms were moved and access was no longer through the station building.)
