:08:20. > :08:30.We need to exploit the air above the station as much as we can,
:08:31. > :08:33.and the width as much as we can, to build a station that
:08:34. > :08:38.These are the early days, but I'm told, if the plans stay on
:08:39. > :08:41.track, passengers could be tsing a new station in just six years time.
:08:42. > :08:45.Alexis is coming up with thd weather forecast in just a loment.
