Footbridge at Stevenage station
The scene is dominated by the three lift towers, which seem taller and more substantial than the equivalents at other stations. The reason seems to be that these were originally large goods lifts not normally available to passengers, replaced in 2014 by smaller passenger-operated ones (but presumably within the original towers).
