Southampton Central reopens south side of station

The changes at Southampton Central (seen here in an artist's impression) are being funded by the government and South Western Railway
The south side of Southampton Central railway station has reopened following several months of upgrade works.
A new passenger waiting lounge, bus stops, taxi ranks and parking spaces are being built as part of the scheme.
The £5.5m revamp - paid for by South Western Railway and the government's Transforming Cities Fund - began in February last year.
Southampton City Council has previously said the scheme would significantly boost visitor numbers.
It predicted the changes would improve the experience of passengers.
The project forms part of a wider transport plan set to transform several areas of the city centre.
