View of the island platform structure being built and the changed vista looking through to Spencer Park footbridge

View of the island platform structure being built and the changed vista looking through to Spencer Park footbridge. The new passenger footbridge spanning the station is partly built on the island structure whilst the immediately behind is the contractor's bridge for carrying both workmen and small items and materials. Behind this can be seen the temporary passenger footbridge, the new Warwick Road bridge and in the distance Spencer Park footbridge. Both of the running lines in the foreground were laid on the same formation as the original two up lines. The platform track still retains its timber sleepers which will be replaced by new concrete sleepers.
