New look Metro station unveiled
A DRAMATIC new look for Haymarket station in Newcastle has been unveiled by Nexus as work continues on the £20m rebuilding of the station.
The design features new curved walls and ceilings.
White panels are interspersed with bands of colour, introduced by an artist working alongside the architects and civil engineers.
The new look serves as a blueprint for other city centre stations as Nexus moves forward with its £600m Metro reinvigoration plans.
The Haymarket scheme, led by private developer 42nd Street Hub, will see the station rebuilt with a new four-storey building above the concourse and improved passenger facilities.
The steel arched trusses that will form the frame of the building above ground level are due to be erected in the coming weeks.
