2006 Refurbishment: In 2006 work started on The Northbound Side of The Station. The Northbound side has now been restored to its full former Victorian Glory Southbound Side: A glass Frontage for the platform has been added along with a comfy lounge area. A WHS Smith has been erected to replace the old Travelines shop. Along with a Costa Coffee Bar. A new Entrance has been opened in The Middle of the station. In The Victorian Stone building. All of the Ticket offices have been moved to that part of the building. The Fasticket machines have become chubbier and the Arrival/Departure boards have been replaced. They are now much slimer and modern. Also the old Red Clocks are gone. They have been replaced by newer modern types.
