New Pedestrian Bridge at Barnes Station

This popped up on my Twitter feed — https://twitter.com/raphaelzy3/status/1516717737221017600?s=20&t=EkU7EMFp4ELrLiAIe7OcEQ Planning application has been raised to build an additional pedestrian bridge linking the platforms at Barnes. From the drawings it looks like it will be at the opposite end of the platforms to the current bridge. https://www2.richmond.gov.uk/lbrplanning/Planning_CaseNo.aspx?strCASENO=22/1057/GPY01 (You might need to copy and past that whole link into the browser as it looks like the forum breaks it).

Having a bridge there will be very useful on the too many occasions when there's a late platform change. But it's a long walk down the outer platforms to get to this if you want to use the lifts (the real bonus) to catch a train from platforms 2 or 3.  Still welcome.

Yes, it's towards the eastern end. I thought there might be additional public access that end but there isn't as far as I can see. Might be helpful if you're changing trains there to go to Barnes Bridge or vice versa I suppose.
