Platform Extensions At South Tottenham Station

The platforms at South Tottenham Station need to be lengthened for the new four-car Class 710 trains, that will run on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line from 2018.

This pictures show the lengthening is in process, at the same time as lifts are being added to the station.

Note that as the bridge doesn’t appear to be the blue colour it now is, I would assume this picture is from before the bridge was replaced at Christmas 2014.

You can gauge the length of the extension by the position of the rail crossing between the two tracks.
