Yes, but how much of that improves the connection with the main line
station? As far as I could see from those plans that bit remains as I
described and all that you mention just provides admittedly much
better access to the outside of the station.

Once you've taken your choice of three staircases or lift to the upper
level, you have the existing route, or going out through the new gates
and then back in either using the canvas footbridge that currently
forms the canal exit, or there'll be a wide pedestrian route the
length of the taxi rank, leading to stairs (escalators?) down onto
the
main station concourse.

Sounds a rather long way round.
