Construction update

With the Dart opening next year this new wibbly wobbly roofed walkway and bus shelter will be redundant even though it has just been installed. It is unique to this side of the bus station and does not match the off the shelf design found on the other side.


The top two floors of the second multi story are due to open sometime on Friday. As can be seen, only one lift out of three has been commissioned. When it has been broken there is no alternative but to climb the stairs, which at the moment are also closed.


The final stages of the new route for the ring road are having its foundations laid. This will remove traffic from the side of Taxiway Delta. As mentioned before the former drop off area is now where meet and greet customers cars end up. This area is marked up on plans as a new apron with a pier running alongside the ring road.


Work on digging out one of two missing sections of tunnel continues. The other one is by Taxiway Alpha and the existing road tunnel.


Central Station. Concrete walls are being installed either end of the platform


The areas around the strange structures in the foreground are having scaffolding and boarding erected. There are still no holes between the ground and first floor for lifts, stairs and escalators in the station. Plans show the station continuing to head in the direction of the camera so maybe this will be a foot passenger safety area while work continues above their heads.
