Current Developments
As part of the Thameslink Programme the platforms have been extended to allow trains of twelve carriages and also a new larger enclosed station footbridge with lifts to all platforms accessible from Iverson Road to the south. A new ticket office has been constructed, which opened in December 2011, and the pavement along Iverson Road and onto West End Lane has been widened with the removal of pedestrian pinch-points. The original Black Path access point that connects to the original footbridge, reopened on Monday 30 January 2012 with a new ticket gate enclosure to make the station more secure.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or developments:
“You will belong to that minority which, according to current Washington doctrine, must be protected in its affluence lest its energy and initiative be impaired. Your position will be in contrast to that of the poor, to whom money, especially if it is from public sources, is held to be deeply damaging.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
