BWA has responded to proposals for a Southern Gateway entrance to Temple Meads Station. This would provide car and cycle parking for station staff and users, but importantly would also allow a a more direct pedestrian route to the platforms for those approaching from the south.
In BWA’s comments, we recommend changes that would make it even better for pedestrians. These include:
- making a new direct entrance onto the platforms,
- covering the walkway to the parking,
- level-segregation from the cycle lane,
- additional bus stops,
- improving the pedestrian crossing of the Bath Road.
