What this work looks like

• The new station will comprise two tracks, two platforms, with linking accessible footbridge, station building and concourse
• External to the core station development we will create a pedestrian underpass below the A8 with associated car parking and highway alterations to facilitate access to the station
• To connect the tram to the train element, a linking structure will be created to house walkways, lifts and escalators connecting the sites
• Associated landscaping including retaining structures and walls will be deployed to enhance and complete the visual dynamics to seamlessly link the two elements of the development
