Made a visit to the Big Smoke today, so I was able to observe the ongoing works in (and not in) progress on the Western Branch stations up to Maidenhead at platform level.
Acton Main Line and West Ealing (TfL):
Accessible footbridges are currently being installed.
Ealing Broadway (TfL):
Platform 2/3 island platform: New entrance/exit staircase in use, waiting room is now a waiting shelter.
Hanwell (TfL):
I could see nothing except the hoardings on the island platform.
Hayes & Harlington (TfL):
New eastern end platform extensions in use. Yet to see significant progress on the new station buildings, lifts etc.
West Drayton (TfL):
Yet to see significant progress on the new station building. Nothing to see except the blue hoardings. New station footbridge still incomplete; missing lift shafts.
Beyond Greater London:
Iver (TfL):
Massive building site on the southern side, at least one lift shaft appears to be in situ.
345 DOO cameras are installed. Some works ongoing with the existing platform waiting shelters.
Langley (TfL):
Accessible footbridge is half installed, walkway yet to be craned in. 345 DOO cameras are installed. Footbridge shares the same dark grey colour (and design) with the ones at Taplow and Seven Kings.
Slough (GWR):
Platform extensions nearing completion (see GW electrification thread for pictures), lamp posts not installed yet. Platforms have new GWR metal seats.
Burnham (TfL):
Station lift is now in public use. Widened entrance staircase built, removing most of the existing waiting room/ticket hall. 345 DOO cameras are installed. The proposed new station entrance with gateline appears to have been quietly dropped.
Taplow (TfL)
Accessible footbridge structure is installed, glazing is fitted, the 3 lift shafts have no outer cladding yet. 345 DOO cameras are installed. Majority of signage is still not in Johnston 100/New Johnston.
Maidenhead (GWR):
Platform extensions are a work in progress, significant height difference in the new platform extension at the western end and the existing p2/3 island platform. Should require at least a long ramp. 345 DOO cameras are currently being installed. New GWR seats installed.
TfL have put in a number of small grey cube planters at all their stations, as well as the standard wood/metal TfL platform seats in Elizabeth Line colours and new ticket machines.
