But wait, there's more. A hedge arch, beyond the building. As far as I could tell the blue door was no portal of unearthly delight:

And more. Planters with shrubs, though at this point the platform itself is a bit green too:

And by the end of the platform it's lumpy and grassy. Looking back west at the station:
