Lifford Station Junction: mr_lif494a
Close up of mr_lif494 showing the proximity of
Lifford station's goods yard to the up platform and the three separate platform
structures. The up platform accommodation was, unlike its counterpart opposite,
separate buildings with each of a similar size. The reason why three small
units were built and not one larger unit is unknown - they are of a similar age
as shown by their architectural features. In all probability they are a mixture
of First class, Ladies and General waiting rooms because when the third station
was built in 1885 it was still MR practice to offer separate waiting rooms at
even small stations so on this basis each could have its own separate building.
On the left the railings appear to show that there are steps going down, Its
not known if this was an underpass to the platform opposite an exit/entrance or
both although Lifford Lane was at the opposite end of the station.
