Hi,
I've joined this forum because I am in search of information that your community can, I am sure, help me with. I'm a masters student at De Montfort university studying creative technologies. For my major project I am designing a piece of work related to railway stations in the UK whose address is Station Street. (The project is imaginitively called Station Street......) I am going to produce a mixture of fictional narratives about people and stations, a locative media piece which will encourage passengers to tweet or email their destinations, where they've come from and why they are travelling. I'm also hoping to provied via the website some video footage of specific journeys from the seat of a train.
It is only in the planning stage at the moment, but one fundamental thing that I need is a list of station addresses, so I can identify those with the 'right' address. Once I've done this I am hoping to be able to identify all of the possible destinations that one can travel to from stations in Station St, and especially those where Station Street links to another Station St.
I know this probably sounds a bit unlikely and I'm not a bona fide trainspotter, but love trains and stations and want to use this for a project that will hopefully touch something in the national psyche about the 'romance' of train travel. Any help anyone could give me - pointing me in the right direction for an address list or for a destination list(s) would be really gratefully received. At the moment I am working through the National Rail Enquiries website checking each station for their address one by one which is, shall we say, somewhat painful.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you want to know any more, and of course, once my project is finished any help will be credited.
Thanks in anticipation of your assistance!
