I agree with DaveJ re Gotherington Halt. On a sunny late afternoon in July 2010 I arrived there from Toddington with my bike pushed by 7903. I sat down for a few minutes to soak in the surroundings. It was uplifting.
Occasionally my mother would come to meet me at York and she was amazed at the silence. She remembered staion as noisy and dirty places with steam engines blowing off and large crowds struggling to get on the trains with heavy luggage. That atmosphere of travel has largely gone due to diesels and electrics. I think I would go for Waterloo at rush hour to get the buzz.
