A wonderful scene of a bygone age, well captured with good composition. I like the play between the 2 bicycles and the old advertising sign. I also love the paving.
I think I would try darkening the concrete block, under the rear wheel of the closest bike. This being the lightest part of the picture, draws the eye. You could dodge the sign to lighten this a little. Just my thoughts, that I would try.

Thanks Jim,
You know we're so lucky down here. I know the railway does suffer occasional vandalism and some theft, particularly is urban conurbations like Watchet pop. 1500!, but it's nowhere near as bad as some places. One of the reasons the Ffestiniog stations are so soulless and lacking atmosphere is because of mindless vandalism: they can't leave stuff like this or even benches, about!
Best regards,
Andrew
