Close up of the construction work associated with the new platform 4 showing the rear of the original down platform

Close up of image 'lnwr627' showing the construction work associated with the new platform 4 and the exposed rear of the original down platform. As is evident, the movement of materials and spoil required a considerable amount of double and even treble handling most of which was undertaken by hand. The lattice steelwork evident on the left are used to provide support to the formwork used to cast the concrete floors, part of which appears to be erected.
