This is a photo that I took on October 30 2014. It shows the work that has progressed at the site since the photos that I took on October 2 2014 that are currently on page 9. The shape of part of the new access/egress area to the station is now becoming clearer.

Thanks for the continuing updates Leodian. I drive past here most days, but you can't see a thing from the car!

These are a couple of photos that I took at the site today (December 5 2014). The final structure shape is becoming increasingly obvious.

There has been work going on for some time at the roadway/footway in the Dark Arches behind the outside work, but it is hard to see what is going on due to it being screened off by hoardings.

There is still work going on outside but there has been little readily obvious change for a while now. There is also work going inside the Dark Arches but it is very hard to photograph with the current no unauthorised access (there is no public access over the road/foot bridge to at least January 30). I took these photos today (January 22 2015). The first shows an outside scene. The second is a view looking along the bridge that I took through the gate that is currently closed to public access. The third shows that gate, which would normally be open at the far end of the bridge coming from Neville Street.

There has been a readily obvious change externally since I last took photos at the site so I took these two photos today (Feb 3 2015). The Sun however shining right on the new bit of work got in the way when I was taking them! There is currently still no access over the river inside the Dark Arches, so I cannot see what has/is going on there.

For access anywhere (not just building sites) simply wear a hi viz vest / jacket and a hard hat. You will instantly be like the invisible man.
For added invisibility choose a white hard hat - these are typically worn by management, so any workers will be doubly sure to avoid you... :lol:
