Car park extension due to open on 15th December

EMR have announced that the much-anticipated extension to the station car park is due to open on Sunday 15th December 2019.  This will provide an extra 200 spaces, bringing the total to 500.  The existing 300-space car park is regularly full by early morning, with excess cars parking in nearby residential roads, or on a non-railway 'overflow' car park that is well named as it regularly floods! 
​Work is also under way around the subway steps and the southern end of the southbound platform, so we hope that opens soon as well.
