A view from Soothill Lane bridge. The 1933 1:2500 map shows a total of twelve tracks, including sidings, passing under Soothill Lane bridge, including three under this span serving a goods yard off to the left. Only two main line tracks now remain through the central span. The station, in the distance, now only has two platforms though it had several more at one time. The building with several skylight windows is probably an old railway goods shed.
