This is mine from my childhood when growing up Woodside Park apart from the trains getting updated the station has remained the same since it was built !

This is my local one very art deco

What are yours ?

Good call on Southgate. Turnpike Lane was my local for years, quite similar vibe.

Canfranc station up in the Spanish pyrenees, disused for years now but still there.

I’m a fan of grandiose Colonial statements, like this:

(although it was more fun when it had the giant brass statue of Kupe)

Fourmarks and Medsted

Steam trains only, one stop from my home town of Alton and 200 yards away from the my mates (the FFF brewery) where they make the best beer in the universe (Altons Pride). Totally sustained and maintained by volunteers and the home of Thomas the Tank Engine.
The perfect start to any brewery tour.

Spean bridge, has a lovely restaurant and train waits for you at night!

OK it’s a mainline terminus but I love St Pancras and the super statue of John Betjeman:

Irwell Vale.

Coz my garden used to back up to the end of it; if I climbed through the fence I’d pop out middle left.

THe only time I ever get on a train I end up here…..

Slough looks like a Hornby station, quite incongruous* amid the vileness that is the rest of Slough

* get me with the big words

Paul Simon wrote Homeward Bound sat here. He changed it from the original title – Get Me Out of This Godforsaken Shithole

Slough looks like a Hornby station,

I could be wrong here but I think the original Hornby station was modelled on Oakham station.

Tynemouth Station is lovely……

Can’t bear Corrour station though eh?

Or maybe Loch Eil?

Perchy, is that St Ives?

A mate of mine’s mum and dad live in Lelant. Got good memories of legging it down to Lelant Saltings to get the train in to St Ives to get bladdered in The Sloop then off to Peggerty’s to dance really badly.

On the wall at Manchester Victoria.

That great example of neo-classical architecture in Huddersfield.

Ours isn’t bad.

I like the waiting room at Duncraig station. It was originally a private station for Duncraig Castle.

Its a request stop, you have to stick your hand out for the train.

rannock station though what it’s doing on a colourful england site ! 😯 😕

Perchy, is that St Ives?

Sure is.
We rent a flat in Carbis Bay for two weeks every year and use the train to get into St Ives as parking is a hairy nightmare.
We always go and Park and Ride from Lelant at least once though just to enjoy the most picturesque train journey in the UK .

Quite fond of Metz station. To the right were the Kaiser’s apartments where he stayed when the 1st World War was kicked off by his pals.

Another mainline station but it’s really impressive. I lived in the Radisson next door for a few months and caught the metro to work every day (initially at Central Telegraph just outside The Kremlin)

The unlikeliest candidate for best station has to be Manningtree in Essex…

On one side of the platform, there’s a small ale pub which is perfect for summer evenings (or afternoons) spent waiting for a connection.

Across the other side of the platform are views of the rather pretty North Essex/South Suffolk countryside, as appreciated by Gainsborough and Constable.
