WATCH: Time-lapse video shows changes at London Waterloo

A NEW video has been released showing work taking place at Waterloo station.

In six days of work, platform extensions under construction have already taken shape. The new platforms will create room for longer trains to run to and from Waterloo.

Because of the work, fewer trains can use the station each day and there have been knock-on effects for commuters due to a temporary timetable that has seen the number of services running to and from Portsmouth reduced.
