Description
The LSWR route passed over the GWR line east of the station and the 1943 connection was situated between this lattice girder bridge and the station.
The northernmost platform one was that used, until 1952, by the GWR trains to and from Plymouth. As well as the track alongside the platform, there were two sidings and the southern one was alongside a loading platform. South of this was the platform for LSWR trains towards London, and then that for LSWR trains towards Padstow. It was on this latter platform that the LSWR's offices were situated.
There were goods sheds for both lines, that for the GWR north of their platform; that for the LSWR south of theirs. Engine sheds for both lines were situated at the east end of the station between the two lines.

—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
