The join onto the previous alignment occurs only a small distance
after the tunnel mouth.

The walkway built to connect the new platforms with
the old station building.

Opposite view from the same position of the location
of the old platforms.
The platforms were lower than the level of the car park; the
land was levelled from the spoil of
the tunnels built for the Heathrow extension.

Closer to the station building and a small remaining
section of platform canopy can be seen just to the left of, and
lower
than, the station building. There was an equivalent one to the
right of the station building.

As above.

Side view of the platform canopy and the descent down
to the the platform level can be clearly seen.

Closer view of the staircase that led down to the
platforms. The LUL style steps are noticable.
