View looking north, as DMU enters tunnel under town, heading for Four Oaks. Twenty odd years earlier the station was the scene of a major accident, in part due to the sharp bend - see LinkExternal link.

Access from this platform to booking office and station entrance is from an enclosed long wooden floored slope. Curiously to get to the town centre, many will cross the footbridge down to the other side and out to road alongside the pub.
