Hello everyone,
I would love to know anyone's ideas as to some of the countries most "Historic" and unspoilt stations. I am thinking back to those old photos we have all seen of the 50s and 60s, stations with old Victorian or Edwardian station buildings, gas or early electric lamps, maybe an old footbridge or hand-operated crossing. A place where you could imagine a steam train puffing in, even if it is probably served by a DMU nowadays. I don't know if any still retain wooden platforms?
I understand the more unspoilt stations are likely to be on heritage railways, however does anyone know of any still part of the national rail network? I am being nostalgic for a time I never lived in, thinking about those lonely rural halts and small station buildings, filled with dark wood and history. In a time where much of our railway heritage is lost, it would be nice to visit those last refuges of a bygone era (if they still exist).
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
