Does anyone have detailed plans for the new entrance/departures hall?

I am specially interested in the implementation of the "blue box", ie the new security area for O/D passsengers, seen in this illustration:



It is supposed to connect the new entrance with the old departures hall (which in turn will be converted to airside.
Inside illustration shows it like this, (camera facing north-east) with new entrance to the right in the image, security to the left and to the far left there is a glimpse of the current south wall of current departures hall, which will later be airside



What I am specially interested in, is how they will connect the train-station. Currently you can walk from T1 train station and take elevator up into landside departures hall. This connection seems impossible in the future. Will train passengers have to exit building and walk quite a bit in order to enter from south-west?!
Or, will there be a connection from T1 ground floor straight into the "blue box" somehow?
