I've just been looking at the Roger Joanes album on flickr, where there is some lovely historical stuff on Waterford in the 1960s. At that time the Macmine Junction trains were using platforms 3/4, their original platforms 1/2 having been given over to diesel loco servicing.
The subsequent rebuilding in 1967/8 saw this area given over to car parking.
Is that when the following changes were also made:
1) Removal of platforms 7/8 to create more car parking?
2) Removal of the connections down main/platform 3 and up main/platform 4 and their replacement by a connection platform 3/up main?
3) Removal of the signal box controlling these movements?
4) Movement of the up and down lines west of the passenger station towards the river in order to create what is now called Sally Park?
