A westward view reveals the replacement station building of 1990 and new rolling stock. Alongside the ''down'' platform is Class 375 No. 375708; trailing on the rear of the London-bound service is No. 375712. At the time of the 1990 rebuild, the CLASP waiting shelters were replaced by fully glazed ''bus'' shelters. © David Glasspool
