[Talk-GB] [Talk-gb-westmidlands] New St station platform alignments

[jonathan at bigfatfrog67.me]

I went through the new station last week and used it various times during construction work and saw/can see no evidence to changes at platform level except cosmetics.

I think it’s likely the only possible changes since New Street was built would be at the throats between the ends of the various tunnels and the start of each platform. There is little if any scope for change along the lengths of the platforms themselves because the supporting columns for the upper structure all pass through them. 

 

Cheers

Andy

I can't remember ... has the track layout been changed yet? I know there were some plans to realign, but the core structure hasn't changed since first constructed?

I recall tweaking the tracks some years ago to better fit imagery as they were definitely rough drawn before that but I expect with different imagery now and folks messing about over that couple of years of changing its all got a bit messy. Part of the problem is that a lot of the track radius is out of view. I expect by using the NR concourse plan as a starting point you would get a better alignment using the escalator locations.

Does anyone know whether the alignment of the platforms under the concourse is based on anything other than pure guesswork? The alignment at either end where they can be seen in Bing doesn't look right either. I'm trying to get the concourse layout to match the platforms for lifts and escalators and they're not quite matching currently.

regards

Brian
