At some point, a new Up platform was installed south west of the level crossing, in order to reduce the time the level crossing is closed to road traffic. The top surface of the original Up platform was removed but otherwise the platform was left in situ. The section nearest the camera appears to show that the platform was originally very low, and was subsequently raised beyond the station building (right, now a private residence). The Down platform (left), used by trains to Bedford, remains in its original position.
