Tradesmen and developers are continuing to work hard at Queen Street Station as Network Rail has unveiled the latest advancement.
A stunning repainted Victorian column has appeared inside the train station as works near complete.
The traditional arch, which is erected beside the ticket barriers, has undergone a dazzling transformation after being coated in gold, black and cream colours.
Work on the £120 million redevelopments began in 2017 and is close to being complete.

Speaking of the triumph, Queen Street Station general manager, Maggie Hoey, said at the time: "The recent redevelopment work has revitalised the station, delivering a contemporary building both internally and externally.
