Upgrade project includes:
Station building - with additional facilities and retail units. It would be accessed from the underpass, ground level car park and first floor via the proposed town footbridge. This would require the demolition of the existing station building and access bridge.
Platform 1 and 2 reconfiguration - to create improved pedestrian space by reconfiguring the platform access and waiting area.
Town footbridge - for cycle/pedestrian use and connecting from the station building at first floor level to the Eastern Gateway (near Hughes Building) and Horton Street.
Car parking - part of the existing Eureka! car park (to the north) will be redesigned to provide drop-off facilities and taxi pick up for rail passengers. Spaces will be split between standard spaces, disabled users, parent and child, taxi drop-offs, pick-up bays, EV charging points, rail replacement bus area, and reserved Northern Rail employee spaces. Additional car parking space for Eureka! (to the south) will be created in a new area towards Water Lane
Viaduct underpass - reopening of the Navigation Road underpass beneath the station providing direct pedestrian/cycle access to current businesses and future development opportunities to the east of the railway.
