New signals and old yard

The end of Queen's Birthday weekend saw the new signals being turned on and tested, and the old loops lifted to make way for new platforms.

Crossover work south of the station just about complete
The disconnected east loop, which will become the freight line. Note the signal sitting in the middle of the track: one like this existed at Wiri as well
The west loop is just about gone
Various new signals now operating at the south end of the station
New signals at the north end
These posts are used by staff to tell the signalling system that a train is waiting to depart (in either direction). Another pair has been installed by the lift
Tracks stored on the suburban track (Platform 3). Pits where the sleepers used to sit are also evident
