I doubt it will end up getting enough funding but this sounds like an interesting piece of work: https://western-gateway.co.uk/news-and- ... n-cardiff/

TfW have added some CGIs of the planned upgrade works at Cardiff Central.

The southern entrance is a bit of a surprise, I actually quite like it. The rest of the works are quite disappointing compared to the previous suggestions of an over track concourse and access bridge and the large glazed extensions to the front.

See what you think.

Yeah I quite like the south entrance too, but agree the rest is a disappointment. I couldn't actually see what has changed in the other renders other than a bit of re-decorating... A far cry indeed from the original renders. I guess £140 m doesn't buy much these days :-( Hoping they have fully extended platform 0 and integrated it into the station fully in these proposals.

Yeah a bit disappointing compared to what was proposed before. I'm not really clear on how it improves capacity, unless it's just via an extended platform 0 and better access / more space on platforms?

The south side looks good - just makes you feel that the recent renovation on that side was a bit short-sighted.
