Major upgrade planned for Norwood Junction railway station

[editor]

Great in depth article here

The plans for Norwood Junction would see the tracks and platforms realigned to allow more trains to stop at the station, and for more non-stopping trains to get past them.

Trains would no longer stop at the existing platform 1, and this area will be used to help improve passenger circulation within the station. The proposed island platforms would be accessed via the new footbridges. The new platforms will be wider, and also longer so that trains no longer have to have some doors remain shut when calling at the station.

The realignment also move the non-stopping train tracks away from the platforms so there’s less risk of harm to people waiting for a slower stopping train.
