Favourite Station

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'd love to visit Loughborough Central on the old GC - just to soak up the atmosphere.

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.

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.

I know what you mean Alan.
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

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.

All give plenty of variety and the last two have restaurants.

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.
