Giving it the old one, two
Ticking the boxes for both beauty and elegance, the curved platform canopy at Wemyss Bay station is enhanced, in my opinion, by the reverse curve beyond it which allows an unimpeded view of the approaching train.
Knowing an arrival was imminent I worked this one while keeping my fingers crossed no-one would walk close-by in front to spoil the lines - and luckily no-one did. The title refers to the platform number signs, which I took great care to include!
The train is Siemens 'Desiro' class 380, unit 380016, working Scotrail's 11.57am ex Glasgow Central (1W31).
For anyone interested, the station was designed in 1903 by James Miller for the Caledonian Railway and is remarkable for its use of glass and steel curves. It's also Category A Listed status. (Info courtesy of Wikipedia)
