The construction works for the new tram lines is moving along slowly. Unfortunately this has meant the chopping down of even more mature trees. And they say that it's an environmentally friendly form of transport!
One big development has been the installation of a new bridge over Queens Road. It also runs over the railway station, and will eventually join up with the existing terminus.
I can't say that it looks particularly attractive, and I'm not sure that it is in keeping with the area. It will certainly stick out against the Edwardian majestic splendour of the station, with it's ornate brickwork and art nouveau motifs.
But things are designed these days to be as cheap and as easily built as possible, with hardly any thought into the aesthetics, or how it will look in relation to the other buildings around it.
I love this image!The modern structure is wonderful!

ReplyDeleteAs a bridge, I like it, it's certainly eye-catching. But it will clash a lot with the exterior of the station, as you say. But I'm not sure what could have been built in a style sympathetic to the area. The station apart, it's all a bit of a hotch-potch down there.
