Checking out problems and progress at London Bridge

After months of problems at London Bridge station, Caroline Pidgeon AM joined MPs, councillors and fellow Assembly Members meeting Network Rail boss Mark Carne and other senior officials at the station to discuss progress and plans for helping passengers when there are issues at the station, as well as to to see the progress that has been made in the major station rebuild works.

"It was quite extraordinary to see the amount of progress that has been made since my last visit" commented Caroline.





"So many of the old arches have been removed below and the vast space which will become the station concourse with shops and cafes and escalators up to the platforms is really taking shape. We also saw the first escalator being installed which will go up to platform 15. It is behind the hoardings on the platform which cause it to be so narrow at the moment

"The works are painful for passengers with cuts to services and regular problems such as signal failures adding to the stress, but the station will be amazing once complete."
