I don't know if the composition is weak or strong. If you had caught some motion blue of the train, you'd probably have a winner. Otherwise, it's significant foreground clutter.

I think the composition is weak, or could be made stronger. The post on the left is foreground clutter to me. I would consider turning your body a bit to the right, so you are not aiming the camera directly at the engine. Then, you miss the post, capture some or all of the wheelchair lift, but bring it the station wall and get a better view of its signage.
On the other hand, the bike rack and its shadow are nice. The ceiling is rather dull and a different composition might minimize that also. But I think my main theme is that you are using the station as a form of foreground obstruction and you need to capture it in a more interesting way.
Also, personal taste I suppose, but if you are going to frame on three sides you really ought to do some perspective control and get all your verticals vertical.
