Blencow on the old Penrith-Keswick railway.

It has loads of character.

Crewe in the 80s and 90s for me.Id spend days and days racking up 'the numbers'.You could see up to 200+ locos a day with all the movements on and off shed.I even remember seeing nothing but 100+ class 47s one day and moaning about it.Its laughable really when you look at it now as a semi rundown cold station with a dead diesel depot and nothing but Virgin plastic to 'entertain' you.

Did a 2 day shed bash in 1966 Glasgow/Edinburgh areas well over 1,000 locos mainly steam.

Bere Alston in West Devon, reversal point of the Gunnislake branch
Apart from rationalised trackwork and missing footbridge, more or less as built still. And may one day soon become a junction with the proposed Tavistock re opening on the cards, lovely place, even made a model of it in the late 80's and got it in the Jan 90 Railway Modeller
2nd would be Templecombe, Iconic LSWR/S&DJR junction, now on the Waterloo-Exeter, again much rationalised, you just can't imagine how busy this place used to be either

Shepton-Mallet

... when it was still working, decades ago!
I remember one funny thing: the board marked "GENTLEMEN" was twice as big as the ones bearing the name of the station! After all, it sound logical: travellers over these local lines know where they are, but they do not necessary know where the toilets are...
