It will be taking into account the current ongoing design and look at ways of applying value engineering to ensure that the outcome is a legislation compliant, affordable station for the funding available from DfT together with any funding put forward by CEC to deliver enhancements to the station. The change request scope to develop an integrated station campus in addition to the current scope of the station will be part of the Network Rail GRIP 3 deliverables, although it will be funded in part by CEC and HS2GP.
