Looking north along the site of the new platforms, 2 and 3, with parts of the old station still evident on the right. The method used to construct the platform is easily seen in this view. The platform faces were built using precast concrete posts and panels, This provided a box shape which was then filled with hardcore and granite chippings to be finally finished by a precast concrete slab edging with the remaining surface being made up of a bitumen material finished with a serrated surface for safety purposes.
