Platform 2 Canopy Project.
Platform One and its canopy as it is
today.
Originally platform 2 had a series of buildings, including
offices and waiting rooms. There was a glazed canopy that
matched the one on platform 1. There is an aspiration
to reinstate these and recently a planning application has
been submitted, by the company.
Click here for drawing as submitted (drawing
Chris Green), this differs
slightly from the original in that the canopies do not
overhang the Council's car park.
The workshops have weld repaired some of
the spandrels. The railway now has eleven but needs another five. We
think we may have sourced some if they are available!
Provisional start date for re-erection is 20th February 2012.
Volunteers welcome. This project
has been deferred until November 2012 at the earliest.
Draft
Programme below, hopefully reasonably accurate.
