Best view of any British railway

Approach into Waterloo after Vauxhall had a brief good bit,with a good view of the Thames and Houses of Parliament.
However, in recent years the rapid development of the nine elms area with high rises is pretty much destroying any view.
St Ives
Local to me is Lancaster from the north. Over the Carlisle bridge, high above the river Lune with views over the river and Georgian quayside, castle and cityscape with the Ashton memorial high on the horizon.
The cliff up to the castle always gets me. The height differences in such a short distance is wonderful, and very Edinburgh.Arriving into Edinburgh Waverley from Haymarket is quite pleasant
I always used to enjoy arriving at Lincoln, from the west, on a Saturday, passing over the High Street level crossing with all the traffic and throngs of shoppers waiting to cross. It made you feel like royalty!
Today the road has been pedestrianised and there's an adjacent footbridge - and it's just not the same.
I always think that Berkhamsted is great especially to my eyes going southThrough Berkhamsted is better!
Indeed, quite a breathtaking viewThe cliff up to the castle always gets me. The height differences in such a short distance is wonderful, and very Edinburgh.
Surely has to be. For any who don't know the approach to Dalmeny from north would be the Forth Bridge.Dalmeny station from the North
A trip into Worcester foregate street from Hereford on a viaduct just before the station, the views from it are to die forI'm a fan of the stations where you approach on a viaduct and get a great panorama of the city, looking down on a metropolis teeming with life - so through the Castlefield Corridor into Manchester, coming into Leeds from the east.
You can get a good perspective of Glasgow as you approach over the Clyde into Central (high level, obviously), same with coming into Dundee from Fife, the view over the Tay etc (damn, @stut has beaten me to the punch!)
We have a winner!
