The last stage of the station’s redevelopment is following the seasons in a way. It’s the beginning of a long winter of facial reconstruction and hibernation behind hoardings, with the final bit of the green canopy ‘wrapping’ set to be torn off on Christmas day.

And a wintry building site wouldn’t be complete without a Christmas tree, complete with industrial-standard Christmas lights. Charming even if it is a clever bit of marketing on the contractor’s part.
