Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] [Talk-GB] New St station platform alignments
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. Jonathan http://bigfatfrog67.me From: Andy Robinson Sent: Monday, 28 September 2015 10:46 To: Lester Caine, 'Brian Prangle', 'talk-gb-westmidlands', talk...@openstreetmap.org 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.

I know the turntable area was cleared to put the electrification gear in, but the British Rail line books should clarify if there were other changes. It looks like extra tracks have been added through the platform area? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands
