The strange angle was to show it was a platform but not show the trackbed which would have been a giveaway.

It was looking a bit run down 3 years ago when I followed the harbour rail tracks end to end. Evidently Weymouth council want shot of them but there's also a group trying to preserve and utilize this for tourism/heritage.
