New platform 4 CGI. It now becomes platform 4 and 5 with a turnback.

The new block built at the northern end of Platform 1 to accommodate CrossCountry staff has solar panels to generate electricity. Sharing the space with the solar panels is the building’s green roof, containing over 14 different species of plant to contribute to the area’s local ecology and reduce rainwater run off into the drainage system. The building is called The Lamp Block because it is built on the site of the19th Century depot which supplied gas lamps to workers who maintained the railway tunnels either side of New Street station.
