I went through the new station last week and used it various times during
construction work and saw/can see no evidence to changes at platform level
except cosmetics.

I think it’s likely the only possible changes since New Street was built would
be at the throats between the ends of the various tunnels and the start of each
platform. There is little if any scope for change along the lengths of the
platforms themselves because the supporting columns for the upper structure all
pass through them.

I can't remember ... has the track layout been changed yet? I know there were
some plans to realign, but the core structure hasn't changed since first
constructed?

I recall tweaking the tracks some years ago to better fit imagery as they were
definitely rough drawn before that but I expect with different imagery now and
folks messing about over that couple of years of changing its all got a bit
messy. Part of the problem is that a lot of the track radius is out of view. I
expect by using the NR concourse plan as a starting point you would get a
better alignment using the escalator locations.

Does anyone know whether the alignment of the platforms under the concourse is
based on anything other than pure guesswork? The alignment at either end where
they can be seen in Bing doesn't look right either. I'm trying to get the
concourse layout to match the platforms for lifts and escalators and they're
not quite matching currently.
