Having spent a fair fraction of the evenings for the last 12 years waiting on the exposed platform 2 at Oxford glad to see finally something is being done about it. A new waiting shelter has appeared together with additional seats and by there markings on the tarmac, a second new shelter is planned. That will make a grand total  three shelters and many more seats along P2 beyond the footbridge and station canopy where standard class passengers have to wait for HST▸ (High Speed Train) length trains (unless it is in reverse formation).

Hopefully as part of the enhancements planned, when the extra through platform is built, the canopy will extend much further down the platform than it does now.

There is also a new shelter at Maidenhead, and at Twyford.
