- Step-free access between street level and all platforms via a new footbridge with stairs and 2 lifts

Famous quotes containing the words forthcoming and/or improvements:
“Not for me the glad tidings of forthcoming salvation; everything is lost and I so want to live.”
—Ester Wajcblum (1924–1945)
“... these great improvements of modern times are blessings or curses on us, just in the same ratio as the mental, moral, and religious rule over the animal; or the animal propensities of our nature predominate over the intellectual and moral. The spider elaborates poison from the same flower, in which the bee finds materials out of which she manufactures honey.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
