Strood station (lower centre) from the north-east. The train at centre left is on the viaduct carrying the Chatham Main Line. The train centre right is on the Medway Valley Line. Upper background are the viaducts carrying the M2 motorway and behind that the High Speed 1 rail line. The photo was taken before the bridge between platforms was built; from this viewpoint the bridge would be at the far end of the platforms.
