Changes

The work to recreate the square in front of the station is likely to start in 2021. The extension upwards by two floors on the corner of Blenheim Grove and Rye Lane (against local opposition) is now under way. The next stages are the demolition of the Arcade in front of the station and the recreation of the square. The creation of the new public toilets under the arches adjacent to the station building is still in the planfor Phase 3, and completion in 2023.

New station toilets are also included in these plans.
