One thing that keeps escaping me, and the diagram in the March Newsletter does not help...

Where do you buy a ticket so that you can pass through the gateline on the south side of the station? The gate line seems to be at the entrance to the new section and from the Web cams I can see no evidence of ticket machines, or a ticket office.

I see that the external views (ouside the new maintenance sheds) on Camera set 4 have gone.

Two internal views left - one the same as before but the other one has changed.

Getting back to the matter in hand - the very large crane has turned up again this afternoon with all the extension pieces. Any idea what it is going to do this time?

Its in the same place as last week so looks to be something on the London side.

It may be the removal of the footbridge to the carpark.

The Network Rail announcement in December said that the footbridge would be removed by the end of February and they have almost finished the tunnel under the station - probably a day's worth of work left.
