Network Rail has altered its original controversial skyscraper proposal, opting for a shorter, 97m mixed-use building that enhances the station’s concourse and customer experience.
Robin Dobson highlighted, 'We've spent time talking and listening: our latest plans celebrate Victorian features including the original train shed and the Great Eastern Hotel.' His emphasis on heritage reflects a shift towards preserving historical elements in modern urban development.
The redesign seeks to improve accessibility, stating there will be 'improved step-free access to all mainline rail and Tube platforms,' underlining a commitment to customer-friendly infrastructure.
Dobson noted, 'simple in design, embracing London's mix of the old with the new,' signaling a delicate balance between modern functionality and historical preservation.
