Entrance Improvements, New Concourse and Upgraded Passenger Facilities and Forecourt
A National Station Improvement Project (NSIP) for Network Rail on behalf of South West Trains (SSWT). Robinson Kenning & Gallagher designed a new fully DDA compliant Station entrance, enlarged booking hall and new ticket office counters. Other improvements included a new passenger lounge and toilet areas, dedicated customer information counter and improved circulation arrangements with the retail unit. New facilities were also designed for the TOC (Train Operating Company) train crew.
RKG were appointed to provide Grip 3 and 4 Design Development. Feasibility options improved the poor access arrangements around the Station entrance and enhanced both passenger and retail amenities. RKG completed Grip 5 Design and site support works for Osborne based on a tight construction programme. The new Station entrance works (the 250th NSIP Project) were in keeping with the Art Deco styling of the station and were well received by the Client. The Station was re-opened by the Secretary of State for Transport.
