The next stage

The last post may have been a little premature. This week, work began on construction of the new platforms, with the workers starting off by digging a hole and demolishing the old Platform 3.

I'm expecting quite a bit of progress over the next few days, but last time I predicted progress I was wrong, so take this with a grain of salt.
