A £3.25bn plan to improve hundreds of train stations across the UK has been launched by Network Rail. An artists' impression shows how Birmingham New Street, part of the Birmingham Gateway development, could look.
Blackfriars station in London is being refurbished in time for the 2012 Olympics. Network Rail has begun a consultation asking passengers what they want from stations.
Leeds station is also due to undergo an upgrade as part of the programme. This artists' impression shows how the southern entrance could look.
Farringdon station in central London - which is served by the north-south Thameslink route and the London Underground - will see more than £20m of investment.
An upgrade at London King's Cross will triple the size of the concourse area to cope with an estimated 10 million extra passengers over the next decade.
At King's Cross, the project will add a glass and aluminium concourse roof, an extra platform and improved links to Tube and other mainline services.
