They certainly got a lot done since I saw it, just over a fortnight ago:

What was the reason for rebuilding that station? Is it because the area
suddenly became "the centre of cool" and suddenly money appeared?


I think the exceedingly basic existing station needed replacing/upgrading
anyway, but instead of simply plonking in a generic replacement, they've
obviously put a bit more money in, to get a proper statement station as
part of the area's regeneration project. What was a poor, industrial zone
is finally getting gentrified, some years after the rest of the area around
the Olympic Park.
