A 1930s view of the island platform's building accommodating
passenger facilities and a booking office. Behind are the carriage sidings used
by the LNWR and its successors to store coaching stock between peak periods and
overnight. Platform 2 is on the left and Platform 3 is on the right. The island
platform's canopy was very distinctive as it covered the platform area adjacent
to the building from platform edge to platform edge. At best the building was
one third of the width of the island platform meaning that each platform's
canopy was as wide. The booking office was located in the end gable wall and
has a 'lean-to' erected in front and above the booking office window to protect
passengers from inclement weather. Note too that the telephone and telegraph
wires are terminating on the side of the canopy on this structure too.
