Perhaps a "2 platforms with bus shelters and a footbridge halt" might
need a new lineside cabinet style "equipment room" installed, but
that's probably about the limit of exceptional circumstances in such
installations.

Here's a typical such station, and they manage to have an online TVM
(but it's not suitable for barriers at all).

2 TVMs by the look of it. I'm sure barriers could be installed if
sufficiently desired, given the layout.


They'd be "outdoors" which is unusual, and with only 1tph most of the
day I doubt it's worth manning the station, which you'd have to do
with barriers.


2 trains an hour soon, surely?


Yes, I suppose so. If both of them stop there of course. But the current
pattern is that north-of-Cambridge electrics are all-shacks, so perhaps
that'll continue. With presumably yet another stop at Northstowe
Parkway. (Another option would be to alternate between the two during
the day).
