Quite; "bog standard" BR(LM) type structure of which there are several others still in existence, Kirkby Stephen, Uttoxeter, Llandudno Junction, Stafford No.4 and Townsend Fold (on the ELR) spring to mind immediately - there are probably more.It's not an exactly iconic building is it?
Crossing the railway at Hest Bank crossing today I almost shat myself as I looked right and saw a Pendolino almost atop me. Luckily it was stationary. To my left were a bunch of orange vests amid the the four foot, seemingly taking a guess at the track gauge.
After about five minutes later the barriers dropped and two Pendolinos passed on the crossing at low speed.
Any inside knowledge here of what was going on?

All changed back in 1994 when the old Morecambe station was demolished and the current one was built, until then there was pointwork to allow 'normal' (if you like) running.
