New look is unveiled for Bristol Temple Meads

LATE March saw the inside of Bristol Temple Meads’ Grade-I listed train shed transformed by the construction of 50 scaffolding towers and fifteen 36m beams supporting an enormous safety screen. The temporary structure will give contractors access to the roof during work to repair, repaint and re-glaze the roof without disrupting train services. Once complete in 2023, the Victorian roof will be returned to its former glory with new laminated glass panels creating a lighter and brighter interior.
