In the southern side of the main formation there is a canopy approx

needed?


Meant to put this in uk.railway...


Um, yeah...

Because we have fixed formation trains that are approaching that length.
If it is ****ing down and the wind blows it is nice to be a little bit
in the dry whilst you connect and disconnect the pipes to discharge all
that **** and (not) wind?
