The canopy has a deep fretted valance and moulded cornice. Beyond it at the right-hand end is a 7th bay in matching materials, with 2 small high-set windows in the front and a doorway in the end wall (probably an office store, or cloakroom). The rear has 4-pane sashed windows in the 4th and 5th bays. History: part of the improvements connected with the dualling of the line. Listed as an unaltered example of its type and date.
