Looking across the island platforms towards the station buildings sited on the down Camp Hill platform circa 1962. Early stations were built on the premise that First and Second Class passengers remained inside until the their train had arrived at the platform, whilst Third Class passengers had to withstand the elements. This was an extension of early railway practices when Third Class passengers were carried in open trucks. Consequently many early station buildings were built without canopies as seen above.
