The digging I spotted yesterday is at the location of one of the site compounds for the rail link. The timetable shows general and enabling works starting in October so it is good to see an early start appears to have been made to remove part of an embankment to create some level ground for the compound.
A total of 5 compounds will be created over time of varying sizes. This is one of the bigger ones. Others will be located next to the multistory car park at Parkway. By the new station on the other side of the tracks. In the short term car park by the south stands and a small compound behind the fire station in the mid term car park.
