Overview of New Lyn station, with trackless Platform 2 blocked off

The site of the temporary New Lynn station is now station-less and trackless, as the track has now moved into the trench

5 March 2010

The busy roundabout once notorious for the railway running through it is now an intersection with a disused railway running through it (the tracks now run underneath the road)

5 March 2010

The partially ripped up track on one side of the crossing

The road crossing, with the temporary track suddenly stopping at the edge of the road

The trench exit with the operational track through it, plus the temporary wall track mostly ripped up

The second crossing to be eliminated by the trench, with the temporary track in the same situation as the other crossing, i.e. ripped up on each side of the crossing

One crossing that won't be eliminated by the trench. This crossing will be lowered by about a metre to the level of the new track, and will retain its crossing
