To any structural engineers out there:

picture 76, the one that shows the restraint arm that holds the tensioned cable perturbing through the new steelwork. surely this could have been re-positioned so it didn't pass through the glazing??

Couldn't agree more, very clever architects and planners involved it probably helped using the same builders who built the original COMS having the plans and designs to work from. Think it will look amazing when both ends completed.

The structural engineers are the clever ones! ,probably Arup in this case

Looks like it is to be replaced with new masts - note the angled gusset plates on the columns either side, the size of the bracing members looks like it's being geared up to resist the axial thrust due to the catenary

The renders show them in their original positions passing through the glazing though :-/

Thanks for the pics JRB.
Many things I don't notice when I just glimpse as I drive past.
