Goods shed doors

Post by Cutter »

Does anyone here know if the goods shed doors at Welwyn North opened inwards, or outwards? I had assumed outwards, but looking more closely at the photos I have access to I am not so sure. All my photos show the doors closed, which doesn't help. I don't mean the sliding cart doors, but the hinged doors over the rails. Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the shed, but I can't see why you'd ever have them opening inwards unless there was a very good reason. It restricts the opening arc of the doors and reduces the amount of unloading quay you have available.
