Looking from the East side of Queens Drive towards the central section of the station approach with the Midland portion on the left an the LNWR portion on the right

Looking from the East side of Queens Drive towards the central section of the station approach with the Midland portion on the left and the LNWR portion on the right. The footbridge over Queens Drive linking the two stations can be seen beyond the remains of the girder that once carried the canopy and marked the end of the covered section of Queens Drive. The No Parking in Drive sign is clearly being ignored indicating that motorists had little fear of being booked. Until the appearance of Parking Wardens in the middle 1960s it was the responsibility of the Police to issue parking tickets, motorists were not then the target of government to raise extra revenue through issuing parking tickets etc.
