Waiting for the train. Together with friends from London, our family took a camping coach holiday during the Easter vacation. This was the time of the Suez Crisis so a railway- rather than car-based holiday was in order. Camping coaches were old coaches converted into the equivalent of a mobile home with some compartments converted into bunk rooms with lounge and kitchen accommodation. This view also shows the very basic facilities at this station. Just a single platform and a single siding for the small amount of goods traffic that would have originated. The camping coach was parked at the head of the siding giving direct access to the platform.
