Mansfield Town Station is a good example of a lovely station ruined there used to be nice waiting rooms on all three platforms and a roof over the whole station. I went to Nottingham a couple of weeks ago and all there is on the platform for Nottingham is two bus shelters, with sub zero temperatures I was perrished. On the other platform you can sit in the booking hall but thats not much above freezing. When I look back with nostalgia at the many times I and my friends traveled to Nottingham in the steam days and compare it with today I don't very much like what we have today. But I must say two platforms with bus shelters on them is better than no station at all wouldn't you say?
