Hello everyone,

I've just got back from holiday travelling the byways of Cornwall which seemed to be in generally excellent condition with the exception of the up platform buildings and footbridge at St Austell. The main buildings are part of a spanking new bus-train interchange on the downside. The footbridge and up side buildings are traditional Great Western, which appear to be in very poor condition and boarded up suggesting possible demolition.
Looking at the brochure the plan appears to be to refurbish the up buildings rather than demolish:

Is there anybody in the know who can confirm whether this is still the case, as the traditional buildings complement the new ones nicely and it would be a shame to see them flattened.
