Photographic notes
The station is a good open design with only 3 platforms. Freight trains often come into the platforms and run slowly through or even stop and wait for faster trains to pass. This makes it possible to get some good close-up shots. Platforms 1 and 2 have 4 lines between them as the fast lines run between these two platforms so you get a good view of freight trains in the opposite platform if you want to keep moving back and forth across the footbridge.
Trains travelling in or out of the works tend to use platform 3.
