Newcastle's Evening Chronicle has posted a photo gallery and video of the work on the station portico, which has now been completed.
Personally I think it looks so much better than when it had cars driving through it!

The new-look Newcastle Central Station is beginning to take shape as work has now been completed on its historic entrance.
It has been transformed as part of an £8.6m makeover which has seen the glazing over of the 19th Century arches, turning the once gloomy front portico into a traveller-friendly area.
As part of this the walls of the station have been sandblasted and new lights fitted.
Inside the main station the current ticket office has been reduced in size and the space handed over for shops, with booking facilities moving to a new site just past the Sainsbury’s shop.
