Looking east towards Station Road overbridge from the end of the existing platform. The platform originally continued beyond the bridge. There used to be additional through lines on the right (south side). It appears that the track has been lowered under the bridge to provide clearance for the overhead wires. For the time being, a semaphore signal remains in use. It remains to be seen following electrification whether direct services to London using Pendolino trains (9- or 11-car) will call here. This will require the platforms to be extended again or opening of the train doors to be inhibited beyond the platform. The existing single daily service uses 5-car Voyager trains and does call here.
