Britomart's interior is impressive, the best rail building in New Zealand built in the last 50 years. Dunedin Station's exterior is also a landmark (and it also has the longest platform in New Zealand at 1km).

I'm surprised that no-one's mentioned Liverpool Street; it USED to be a very confusing station to try and find your train, and was pretty gloomy for many years, but during the late 80's/early 90's was modernised in an extremely user-friendly fashion, while at the same time the outstanding original architectural features of the terminus were renovated and attractively repainted - the tall, ornate roof support columns, for example. It's a fine showcase of how updating and conservation can live alongside each other successfully (if you see what I mean!)

The frontage of Market Harborough used to catch my eye as I went past on the train, I never had chance to study it though, but the brief glimpse was impressive.

St.Pancras gets my vote too.
The exterior is just incredible, absolutely awe inspiring. The interior is, well, ok I suppose, but look more like a shopping mall rather than a railway station, it used to be an atmospheric building, but most of that is lost now. My biggest bugbear though is the ruddy great shoe box they have bolted onto the end of the beautiful (and to be fair beautifully restored) train shed. This damn great shoe box is awful and rather detracts from the excellent job that has otherwise been done. |
Birmingham New Street for me.....who says that I have strange taste!!

Got to be St Pancras for me also, just stand the other side of the road and look at that.I had to go there when I first wanted to join BR and remember walking up the stairs to a huge door with a large brass handle on it that I didnt want to smear so pulled out me hankie and turned it. Medical in Drummond st where once close by used to be an impressive structure which now is in the bottom of a river somewhere.
