Wemyss Bay. Isn’t very big, but is stunning.
I'd go along with that. Unique and beautifully kept plus happy childhood memories of queuing in the curved access ramp to the pier for the steamer to Bute.Wemyss Bay. Isn’t very big, but is stunning.
York.
I also have a soft spot for platforms 3 and 4 and Perth.
Blackfriars main line is generally un-crowded, has loads of screens, great views from the glass-walled platforms, entrances at both ends of the platforms and a very intensive service. The very light and airy feel is pleasant, and after dark the views of the Thames-side lit buildings are far-reaching.As regards favourite stations now from a passenger's POV, which is probably what the OP is getting at, I would say one that is well designed for passenger flow allowing easy entrance and exit to/from platforms without too much congestion, that has a good culture of keeping passengers informed (plenty of staff on the shop floor as well), plentiful facilities for buying tickets without long queues and announcing platforms as early as possible to avoid a scrum. Good retail facilities also a bonus.
Er....
Anyone.....?
Edit: I have found the new London Bridge quite user-friendly the few times I've used it.
The problem with the new St Pancras is that somebody went and stuck a railway station on top of one of London's better shopping malls.Architecturally my local station Stamford which has the prettiest station buildings in England
for larger stations I have always liked York and temple meads as they have both a nice Shed and interesting mix of traffic especially in the 70's
As for london terminus either Marylebone or ST Pancras but I much preferred the pre Eurostar station
Scottish stations I always used to think Glasgow queen street had a lot of atmosphere
Still has an NSE feel to it.Marylebone has a nice old-school feel about it. And is served by proper trains.
I'm genuinely curious. Why?Mines has to be Birmingham New Street.
Those popped into my head as candidates too.Braystones and Nethertown are my current favourites. Especially the walk along the beach between the two. Peace!
With this reminder that the thread title does say "in the UK," I'll add a mention of Antrim station, which is a really pleasant place, marred somewhat by its bad pedestrian links to the town centre.As much as I miss the old Portrush station, I so like the new one.
