I like Highley on the SVR, after having spent a couple of weekends in a rented house on the riverbank. River & fields in front, station & steam trains behind.
Oh and I agree with Adam about Bury Bolton Street too, specially on diesel days. |
I like Blue Anchor_lovely atmosphere with a nice cafe very close. Arley and Highley are very pleasant as are a lot of other stations. Brownhills west is a great place on special timetable days.

I also quite like Haverthwaite on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway for a truly authentic branchline atmosphere. |
Erstfeld and Wassen on the Gotthard line,Spiez on the BLS/Lotschberg and Grindelwald on the BOB/WAB.

Enfield Town Station

I'd love to go back and spend a day at Enfield Town Station as it was in the 1950s when I first started working for British Railways. It is now a quiet place with electric trains but I liked the much noisier and grubbier British Railways station with a loco shed, goods yard and signalbox now sadly all gone.

Yesterday I caught a train from the station that we used to "run" as kids. Even though the remaining buildings are boarded up or used for non-railway purposes I could still picture how each individual room looked nearly 50 years ago. I could also still remember the smell of Jeyes Fluid in the Gents:D |
My favourite station that is still open would have to be Grantham, because I can still hear the A4 whistles every time I go there.
Nottingham Victoria would be my choice of closed stations because it was just so awesome in size to a small boy like me in the 1950's. Paul. |
My favourite stations would be london
All give plenty of variety and the last two have restaurants. Shareefa SreeVysh Corp |
Hi Shareefa, welcome to the forum. I'm ashamed to say I'd never heard of Coimbatore, so I looked it up on Google Earth- it appears to be a great place for trains itself!
Tell us more about what you've got there- this looks fun. |
Hi Shareefa, welcome to the forum.
