Between 1998 and 2002, in preparation for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the station underwent a £100 million redevelopment.
The glass roof of the trainshed, which is a Grade II listed structure, was reglazed and repainted.
A new main entrance and enlarged concourse with a mezzanine level, designed by BDP, replaced the 1960s structure, which had become insufficient for the number of passengers regularly using the station.
A moving walkway was installed to take passengers from the concourse to platforms 13 and 14 on the far south side of the station, which had previously necessitated a long walk.
Another entrance was also created on Fairfield Street, which provides access to a new taxi rank along with a drop-off point for private cars.
