A view of the bridge that crosses the railway at the west of the station.
Looking across the bridge.
A rather blurry 156412 passes under the bridge. This is the view west and shows the scars left by the removal of the yard here. The loco shed would have been just to the right where the lighting poles are.

Another view from this end of the station showing junctions and signals.
