Facilities When Open
The station itself had three platforms - up, towards York, the West platform; down toward Beverly, the East platform, and a bay off the West side. The Station House building is on the down (East) side, consisting of two waiting rooms, and the Stationmaster's office. Also on the site was a two-road goods shed, which backed onto the down platform. The large yard between the goods shed and the station building served as a holding area for goods received or pending dispatch. Stamford Bridge had a relatively short throat by NER standards, between the end of the platforms and the Viaduct is only about 600yards.

Famous quotes containing the words facilities and/or open:
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
