Looking west from the end of Bath Spa's platform one reveals empty platforms! The gap in the centre of the image once had two passing-lines and a series of crossovers that allowed wagons to pass from the small turntable to my left to the goods yard and shed at the far end of platform two. It was a complicated affair but one forced on the station due to its chronically constrained site. Ironically, it is these constraints that have led to the station retaining so many of its original features.
