Looking towards London from the Warwick end of the down platform on a foggy day in the early 1930s

Looking towards London from the Warwick end of the down platform on a foggy day in the early 1930s. The photograph shows the improvements undertaken to provide a more aesthetically pleasing and practical platform structure compared to the earlier crude finishing of the cut down train shed. The remodelling of the original structure now provides better protection from inclement weather although the smartening up the facade to each of the structures cannot hide its old fashioned look. The decorative panels seen on the front above a sloping canopy are original.
