Colin buchanan (CB) is an urban design and economics consultancy
'CB consider that the study documents by Network Rail 'clearly demonstrate that a footbridge that gives access to York Way would not be of overall net benefit to the station or passengers' and 'any access to York Way would not be practical, cost effective or reasonably able to be implemented'.
Key reasons for not constructing a footbridge
- the costs compared to the benefit
-the safety risks arising from opposing pedestrian flows
-the practicality of building the bridge and the additional operational requirements of managing extra access points and gatelines.
-The future introduction of fully gated access to the platforms considerably diminishes the potential benefit to users of the existing platform 1 route through the station.
