Formation update and sketching plans

Formation work is progressing well, with the ground looking almost ready for some ballast.

At the north, drains are still being installed

Drains are also still being installed at the south end of the platform

South of the platform, the formations look almost finished

Seats and other station furnishings have appeared

Some more work has finally been done on the carpark, with a footpath appearing behind the station building

I was also lucky enough to be sent some staging (planning) diagrams by project manager Aiman Grace, who has given me permission to post them here.
