ps I thought the original plan was to allow at least some access to the
lower-numbered platforms through gates on the ground floor.

He might mean 'generally'. But yes, all the relevant planning
application drawings do show a small group of entry gates at the east end
of the station front.

Will have to visit the exhibition I suppose.

OTOH the words footbridge, escalator or lifts aren't mentioned so
presumably you'll take that as proof they haven't been provided?

Now now. They are the means by which access "via the new concourse" is
provided.

But not the only means. There will be a level route through where the shops
were on platform 8. That much I was assured of as it's the only route for
cycles.
