Looking towards London showing the rear of the up island
platform with the up bay platform 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
