Overview

A group of soldiers with kit bags, boarding a train at a platform on the northern side of the island platform. There is a group of soldiers, a man in suit and hat bending over next to the train and an officer walking behind them. There is a tree on the platform and at the far end of the island platform on the right are the steps leading to the overhead bridge which leads to Shenton Road.

Historical information

The platform where the men are boarding from is no longer there. It was on the northern side between the island platform and the goods shed and was used at Royal Show time and during the war for troop trains, departing and arriving.
