Description: A dragon cut out of dark grey painted sheet metal attached to a low wall at the end of the platform. From the train window or from the platform opposite the dragon is clearly visible. A series of struts protrude from the dragon which, when viewed from further down the ptaform, are revealed as travellers waiting to cacth a train. When close to the piece the shape of the dragon is obscured by the travellers and is not immediately obvious.
