Barnetby sign

Barnetby is where the line from Cleethorpes and Grimsby Town branches three ways, to Doncaster, Retford, and Lincoln. Although the station building is still standing and in good condition, it's no longer used for passengers, but (judging from the sign) as Network Rail offices:

The station these days is dominated by the large modern bridge with both steps and ramps for the disabled. Laudable, but it looks very clumsy and tangled:

Since the ramps to the bridge take up the whole width of the platforms, the eastern ends of the platforms are unused:
