Taken the other side of the bridge from the previous shot, the platforms of Uxbridge Underground Station are captured at night. A Metropolitan Line train of S Stock waits to depart from Platform 1. Even though the station only has three tracks, the middle bay shares Platforms 2 & 3. The Charles Holden designed station building top right is Grade II Listed.
Southgate Station on the Piccadilly Line in North London. One of 26 stations on the line designed by Charles Holden, an architect famous mainly for the London Underground, but also many buildings across the capital. In total, he designed 47 stations for the Underground. The illuminated feature on top of the station is designed to resemble a Tesla coil.
If you want to find out more about the Piccadilly Line, I highly recommend this video for Londonist by Geoff Marshall: Secrets of the Piccadilly Line.
I'm planning to make a photo video in the next couple of months, and upload it to Youtube, if you'd like to watch it, then subscribe to Sights and Scenes. Would be great to see some of you over on Youtube too.
This station is located between Harrogate and York on a line which used to split east of the town with one branch heading for Boroughbridge and onward towards Thirsk, the other towards York. Only the latter survives.
The first station opened in 1848, but the present building dates from 1866. Designed by T. Prosser, architect of the North Eastern Railway, it is built in white brick and is listed Grade II.
It is adjacent to a stone viaduct crossing the gorge of the River Nidd designed by T. Grainger in 1851. This has four 17 m (57 ft) span arches 24 m (78 ft) high, is built of stone and has a castellated parapet. It has been adversely criticised for its dominance of the town and Pevsner was particularly scathing about it, 'one of the most notable railway crimes in England'. It is nevertheless listed Grade II*.
Beyond the platforms on the east side is a tunnel which separated the station from the goods yard (now a bus depot) and the line's major junction.
The station signal box is somewhat unusual in that it was built onto the end of an adjoining row of terraced houses. It is also unusual in being five sided. It too is listed Grade II.

Svanemølle Power Station in Copenhagen. Built 1947 to 1953, influenced by American highrise architecture. Initially fuelled with coal, then converted to oil and now until it will be shut down with natural gas. Amager Bakke (see previous) will replace it. Not entirely satisfied with the quality, my lightweight tripod wasn't up to the task in the gusty winds. Will return an early morning with my heavy-duty tripod to catch the rising sun shining onto the front of the building.
Ferrybridge power station from Fairburn Ings
Construction of Ferrybridge ‘C’ began in 1961 at a time of rapid growth in the British electricity supply industry.
in May 2015, after five decades of service and a dramatically changed energy generation landscape, came the news that SSE had taken the difficult decision to close Ferrybridge C by 31st March 2016.
In October 2015 the UK Government announced that all coal-fired stations in the UK would close by 2025. Ferrybridge C can hold its head high after 50 years of distinguished service to the nation.

Station Altenessener Mitte. I took a low pov hereand was again close to the edge. It's a special sensation, being the only person in the station (except for Twan, who was on the other platform ;-))
I had to do quite a lot of retouching here on the curved walls, that were smeared with "felt-marker grafitti".

The old Woodside Railway Station. Originally built in 1871 to serve the Croydon racing track with a ramp for use by horses. The racing was ended in 1890 after petitioning by locals due to drunkenness and bad behaviour. Mainline trains ceased in 1997 and it is now part of the Tramlink service with a new tram stop just a few yards to the west of the old station. The old building appears to be being used as offices by a construction company.
Nishinokyo is a station along the Kintetsu Kashihara Line (橿原線), close to Yakushi-ji and Toshodai-ji--famous Buddhist temples in the Nara area. It is a small, two-track station which can only be accessed by local trains except on weekends and holidays.

Tōkyō Station (Japanese: 東京駅) is a major railway station in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. The original station is located in Chiyoda's Marunouchi business district near the Imperial Palace grounds. The newer Eastern extension is not far from the Ginza commercial district. Due to the large area covered by the station, it is divided into the Marunouchi (west) and Yaesu (east) sides in its directional signage.
The station opened in 1914 as an integrated terminus for the present-day Tōkaidō Line, Tōhoku Line, and later the Chūō Line, which previously had separate termini in Tokyo. Since then, it has served as the main terminus for inter-city trains departing Tokyo westwards. The station was badly damaged during the Bombing of Tokyo on 25 May 1945 but soon resumed service. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen, the world’s first dedicated high-speed rail system, opened between the station and Osaka in 1964. With the extension of northbound Shinkansen lines from Ueno in 1991, the station also became a gateway to northeast Japan.
Served by the high-speed rail lines of the Shinkansen network, Tōkyō Station is the main inter-city rail terminal in Tokyo. It is the busiest station in Japan in terms of scheduled trains, with more than 4,000 trains arriving and departing daily, and the fifth-busiest in eastern Japan in terms of passenger throughput; on average, more than 500,000 people use Tōkyō Station every day. The station is also served by many regional commuter lines of Japan Railways, as well as the Tokyo Metro network.

Ballymartle station,Ballynalouhy, Co Cork, is now much changed and closed longer then it was ever open.
It was one of two immediate stations on the 11 mile branch of the Cork and Kinsale Junction Railway. Opened in April 1864 the station and the branch was one of Ireland’s earliest rail closures in August 1931. A remarkable ninety years since the station saw it’s last train. The station is now a private residence.
On opening, hopes had been high to capture the potentially lucrative fish traffic from Kinsale harbour, but Kinsale terminus sat high on a hill above the town and remoteness from the harbour did little to encourage this traffic.
The Allport Railway commission of 1888, recommended a extension to the harbour to help remedy the situation, but the railway ignored the commissions advice. Another fact working against the branch during the years of it's operation was
the Kinsale suffered severe depopulation. In 1841 The town had a population of 6,918 dropping to 1,500 by 1962.
The lack of fish traffic and passengers sealing the branch’s fate by 1931 after sixty seven years of operations.

We flew to Glasgow for the start of our 11th Wedding Anniversary Holiday. It was one third the price of the train fare and it saved us a day in travelling. We also couldn't trust the West Coast Mainline either. So after arriving at 8.00am and picking up the hire car we drove into Glasgow city centre and had breakfast in a cafe under Central Station. Then we did a bit of exploring around Scotland's second city. Of course I went to both of the cities stations, Central and Queen St to say I'd seen them, if not actually travelled from them. This is the concourse of Central Station.
