Waiting Room, using duck logic! David Evans Historic Environment Record Officer Planning and Environment Planning, Transportation & Strategic Environment PO Box 2081 The Council Offices, Castle Street Thornbury South Gloucestershire BS35 9BP Phone: 01454 863649 fax: 01454 864473 ________________________________ From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sarah Orr Sent: 31 May 2011 14:52 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Train shelters thesaurus question Dear all If a bus shelter is a structure providing protection against the weather at bus stops, and a tram shelter provides the same as tram stops, what do you call an open-sided structure like this by a railway line? We have a Brunel designed Grade II* listed 'waiting room' only it's not a room, it's a projecting roof supported by nice brick work with a recessed central part - see old LBS UID 40008 on Images of England. Anyone else got something similar, and what have you indexed it as? Following on from the aforementioned terms, I suppose it should be a 'train shelter' but this sounds more like something trains go under to get out of the rain... I think I've strayed into a Thomas the Tank story now. Railway shelter? Waiting shelter? The only relevant thesaurus term I can find at the moment is 'Station Canopy' defined as 'A supported, roof structure covering all, or part, of a railway platform' which isn't really quite right either. May be a new term is needed if there is more than one in the country.
