Stamford Railway Station's New Canopy

Stamford Railway Station’s New Canopy

Last night, after the final train had left, a team of Network Rail construction workers laboured through the small hours to put the finishing touch on the new platform one canopy – the valance which makes an attractive finish to the canopy edge and provides a little extra protection from driving rain.

It is very smart.

View from platform 2, the shadows make a tartan on the back wall.

Another view across the tracks. Don't anyone say that the new valance doesn't match the one on platform 2. The old one didn't either.
