Newbury Park Station

According to this article in the Ilford Recorder, Newbury Park station is going to be one of the first in the latest batch of stations to be given step-free access.

So I went for a look.

Note.

• Lifts can probably be added easily to the existing bridge.
• Lifts are certainly needed, ss I saw a couple of mothers struggling with buggies.
• The station buildings on the platforms have potential for making really nice.
• The barrel roof is not to my taste, and I would rejoice if it had to be demolished for health and safety reasons.
• The station is a Grade II Listed building.

It is certainly an unusual station.
