Construction update

All the Network Rail platforms at Luton Airport Parkway now have a roof over the escalators but no side walls yet.


There is still no sign of the missing 33% of the interchange building for the Dart being started any time soon with the access route from the railway platforms finishing in mid air.


At Central station the roof over the ticket hall is getting its second layer of roof.


Meanwhile the platform area has just its first layer of smooth roof fitted. The ceilings are still to go in. Track has been laid to the platforms and into the maintenance area.


Just a reminder what the station area looked like in July 2016 when it was the drop off area with no walkway from the multi story that had yet to open and no second multi story.


The dual carriageway has been put back to its original position after being moved twice for the construction of the cut and cover tunnel.


Finally not a mini Dart train but 2 electric passenger assist vehicles come to Luton for the first time. They are fully weather protected due to the long ride to the drop off area. They look too big to get passengers airside as I don't think they would fit even in the goods lifts.
