LAMBTON PLATFORMS
FOR TEMPORARY USE
The finishing touches were put to the new temporary platforms at Lambton Station yesterday, and they were in ,use today. The additional accommodation consists of an "island" platform to the east of the old Lambton platform, which is still in use. With the "island" platform there are now three platforms at Lambton, which are numbered consecutively eastwards, 1, 2, and 3. Access to the newtemporary platforms is gained by a level gangway at the southern end of the railway offices, which forms a dead end to the inward trains at that point. The object of the temporary platforms is to shut off the southern end of the railway yard to permit of preparations for the erection of the new railway station. Outward passengers today will have their respective platforms clearly indicated. , A warning is issued against crossing the tracks, to reach the new platforms. Authorised access is only by the gangway provided. Most of the trains running along the old line through Lower Hutt use the No. 1 platform, and most of those on the "Waterloo line use Nos. 2 and 3.
