The 1954 concrete platform extensions are evident in this London-bound view, which also includes the huge substation of 1926. A section of the signal box's base was retained to form part of a wall at the rear of the "up" platform. © David Glasspool
The oldest structure in this view is the lattice footbridge, which dates from the station's 1895 opening. Note that the ''up'' platform's canopy lies horizontally, but that of the ''down'' platform is angled; the valance of the latter is now formed of corrugated sheeting. This view shows the line's 1 in 75 gradient to good effect, as it ascends through the arched bridges towards London. © David Glasspool
