To avoid unseemly scrummaging, Platform 2 will have a greater area set aside for the public to help cope with the growing number of passengers who use the station during stadium events.

A level playing field – or at least step free access – will be introduced between the ticket office and platforms. New loos and bright lighting, smart resurfaced platforms and a new footbridge will all help fans and players on their way. The Rugby World Cup tournament starts in September.
