  Martin Yallop: Another style of temporary station building supplied by Portakabin of York, their 'Titan' model. It is even in the new GwR colours and has plenty of CCTV cameras . . . . I don't recommend placing rubbish bags next to the heater flue outlet as seen here....  moreAnother style of temporary station building supplied by Portakabin of York, their 'Titan' model.

  Martin Yallop: Seen recently in Chepstow, something different instead of concrete slabs around your station ?   these can have local info, poems or simple pictures inscribed on them.

  Here is an inventive use of old sleepers and a very old beam seen here at Batley in the new Cafe.

  Martin Yallop: Interesting idea from the Derwent Valley Line for getting water to tubs and baskets on long platforms. This allows for up to 80 metres of hose to be accommodated.

    sue mitchell Sounds useful fot Mytholmroyd. We have no water on station - mind you, our drought only seems to last a couple of days! But always just after summer flowers have been tubbed up!

  Martin Yallop: To give your station an interesting focal point why not have a scale reproduction of Box Tunnel in reconstituted stone as a fireplace ?       Ideal for GWR locations too . . . .  There is one in Chippenham station cafe.

  Martin Yallop: Also seen at Dorridge, a 1930s style radiator cover in wood similar to those at Leamington, hiding a modern electric wall heater, it contributes well to the period 'feel' of the waiting room.

The benches in the historic waiting room were restored in the workshops of the Severn Valley Railway. This provides work for the craftspeople on the heritage line and enhances the appearance and atmosphere of the waiting area for passengers. Good to see a parquet floor visible too.
