Blimey, didn't realise there was quite so much of it. It would make a
lot of sense to rent that out.

Though it does also show how much other out-of-use land there is
around the station.


Just to be clear, the station buildings do not include the big shed to
the right of that shot. That big shed used to house the Motorail
platforms / loading bays, but they've subsequently been filled in (you
can see this further to the right, at least it's clearer if you look
at it from a train window) and it's all used as a car park now.

But yes, the station is spacious and is pretty underutilised. I think
the plan makes sense.
