The Station upgrade work has begun. The stairs up to Platforms 2 and 3 have been cut off and replaced with stairs to platform 3. Platform 2 is accessed by walking round the end of platform 3.
The site at the back of the platform 1 stairs has been cleared and railing removed for site access. Similarly, the access ramp area from the car park has been cleared.

Key future dates are:
