New platforms

I suspect I have more readers who use/travel through Reading station than a blog deserves. Specially for them, I bring news from Building Design that Sir Nicholas Grimshaw's team of architects has been appointed to design six new platforms, new station entrances and an extra bridge. Their rail record includes the first Eurostar platforms at Waterloo, and their distinctive sinewy canopy.

Grimshaw's spokeswoman states the Reading challenge: "In its current form the station is .. the Great Western Main Line’s biggest constraint on performance and capacity"
