View of the down platform which is full of passengers waiting for a local passenger train to Snow Hill. Its thought that the passengers were possibly waiting for a society special circa 1905. The signal box on the right is thought to have been erected in May 1879 when the crossover between the two platforms were installed. Beneath the bridge the up refuge siding can be seen having been installed in June 1892 at the same time as the down refuge siding located to the left and behind the photographer.
