Here is how Baldwin Ave looks today complete with a new westbound platform and masts:

I don’t like how they have put the electrification masts in the platform itself, I thought they were meant to be putting up masts in the middle of the tracks at stations with side platforms
Might be wrong, but not sure those are the electrification masks? they look like the flag poles used at stations like onehunga and penrose. Could be wrong, anyone can clarify?
Joshua - The rounded poles are the standard light poles used at stations but the square ones with the zig zag pattern on them (the mast closest to the camera on the pic 2,3 and 4) are electrification masts
The tamper is working on the freshly relaid track around Rossgrove Tce this afternoon.
well if it is, it does look nicer than those grey ones doesn’t it?
[...] Baldwin Ave [...]
Are there moving barriers / bells between Baldwin Ave and Margaret Ave for a pedestrian crossing the tracks, or can you not cross the tracks at Baldwin Ave since it was done up?
If not, is there a sub way or a plan to build a pedestrian overbridge??
