Other Structures
In 1999 a long shelter was added with suitable signage so denote that it was for use in connection with both the electric railway and bus services. Prior to this a defunct tramcar purchased from Lisbon, Portugal was housed on the siding to the side of the station and this functioned as a waiting area until it was removed for off-site storage some time later, and now the station offers no cover for waiting passengers other than the incongruous modern shelter. For a short time, a horse car from the nearby bay tramway was used as a shelter in the 1980s but this did not last for long.

Famous quotes containing the word structures:
“If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God. We must serve him in whatever way we are called. I am called to help the individual; to love each poor person. Not to deal with institutions. I am in no position to judge.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
