Passengers are being advised to check before they travel from Saturday 15 June while engineers install new netting to the station’s iconic glass roof.
Engineers are installing the additional new netting as a safety feature to keep passengers safe for years to come, as longer-term plans for the station’s maintenance are considered.
The current station netting was installed 25 years ago and is starting to show some signs of wear and tear.
The work will continue until October and is being carried out in phases to reduce the impact on passengers.
However, some platforms will be closed and trains will be diverted to alternative platforms.
Engineers will use raised platforms and rope systems to safely access the station roof and install the new netting.
Passengers are advised to check before they travel as there may be some disruption.
The work will be done in six stages between June and October in order to reduce disruption to passengers. The sequencing prioritises passenger safety, access to busy platforms, and operational considerations for train operators.
- Stage 1: Platforms 11 and 12 will be closed from 15 June to 6 July 2024.
- Stage 2: Platforms 9 and 10 will be closed from 6 July to 27 July 2024.
- Stages 3-6: The schedule for the work above platforms 1-8 is to be confirmed.
