As well as that, there is work outstanding on the northern public plaza, which will serve cars, buses, taxis and cyclists.
A council spokesperson said: “Construction of the new Transport Hub and railway station building has progressed to the final fit-out stage.
“Testing and commissioning of the station’s operational systems will continue over the coming months, along with the construction of the southern entrance to the Transport Hub.
