Looking towards the rear of the main up platform with the up bay in the foreground. The up platform when first built within the train shed had its passenger facilities in the centre. Later developments including the refreshment room were within the London portion of the platform. The original platform would have a rear wall fixed the columns nearest the camera. The sloping canopy which are a feature of the main up and down platforms was also replicated for the bay. Why this platform was described as the 'bay' is unknown as in the writers opinion a bay should have two sides and a set of buffers. 11 January 1937
