Construction
phasing has now started, with expected completion of Spring 2018. This includes
the lengthening of platforms to accommodate eight-car trains and the
rearrangement of the existing concourse area.
Movement Strategies was commissioned by the multi-disciplinary design team at
an early stage to provide passenger flow advice and to enhance the design
concepts.
We were tasked with analysing and assessing the proposals at each design stage,
from a customer experience, station capacity and safety perspective.
Our analysis
evaluated different modes of operation and helped to enhance design performance,
to ensure the required level of comfort and safety is delivered for the
passengers and staff.
We also provided an assessment of station
layouts during the demolition and construction phases developed by the project
team to identify any potential issues or capacity constraints or passenger
safety concerns.
