The arrival experience<br />
<strong>Southampton</strong> Central railway station is a key<br />
gateway and point of arrival for the city and is<br />
situated at the heart of an office quarter. The<br />
redevelopment of the <strong>Southampton</strong> Central<br />
station to provide a new transport interchange<br />
of contemporary design will provide both a<br />
landmark development and appropriate sense<br />
of arrival in a major city.<br />
The proposed scheme will incorporate:<br />
A dramatic new entrance concourse for the station, improved connectivity with<br />
the city centre, the reconfiguration of car parking facilities and enhancement of<br />
pedestrian and cycle links.<br />
An upgrade of the public realm and state -of-the-art transport interchange<br />
facilities.<br />
Further high-rise development incorporating offices, reinforcing the area as a<br />
commercial quarter.<br />
Parallels can be drawn to the Eurostar station and commercial quarter in Lille,<br />
France which provides a high quality arrival point to the city.<br />
CENTRAL<br />
STATION<br />
The redevelopment of Central Station will link with future redevelopment of land<br />
to the south including West Quay 3 and the former Pirelli site.<br />
