Inspired by the Sheffield Victoria thread, let's widen it out to include any station that you've caught a train to or from, but that has now closed.
For me the best is the original Bradford Forster Square. Incredibly run down, but wonderfully atmospheric. The Midland Hotel on Cheapside still has a beautiful tiled corridor that used to lead directly onto one of the platforms. Now just opens out into a car park
Belfast York Road: Surely the most squalid station in the world, and not missed by any right thinking person: yes, even more squalid than Wakefield Kirkgate!
New Holland Pier: just got here in the last couple of weeks of the ferry. Feel very privileged to have done so.
Dover Western Docks and Folkestone Harbour.
Strangely never managed to do either Broad Street or Holborn Viaduct.
That's all I can think of.
