Motor vehicles are no longer able to access the station via Railway Drive. Instead, they must access the station, multi-storey car park, short stay parking, passenger drop off/pick up area and taxi rank via Corn Hill.

Pedestrians can access the station via the footbridge from Pipers Row, while National Cycle Route 81 will be maintained along Railway Drive, although cyclists should take care as construction traffic will be operating in the area.

Work on the new car park has increased capacity from 450 to more than 800 long stay parking spaces.

The old entrance to the multi-storey car park has been permanently removed.

The access changes are due to the opening of the city's new railway station building. The new station building benefits from an enhanced ticket office, larger passenger concourse, ample ticket barriers to ease flow onto and off platforms, and much-improved retail and café facilities.

The overall Interchange project will also see a Metro line extension running down Railway Drive to a new stop at the station.
