ipernity: Railway stations in London by Phil Sutters

Folder: Railways including tramways

This is a fairly random collection of photographs which have the stations, rather than the trains, as significant parts of the views. There are one or two by my father, but his emphasis was almost always the locomotives. Having said that, there is a collection of photos of Liverpool Street Station, that I made to enable him to see the renovation works carried out in the 1990s, by which time he was… (read more)

Busy railway stations are often chosen as places to advertise products by handing out free samples. These are usually foods, drinks and sometimes cosmetics. Guinness' new alcohol-free stout was being distributed from large, wheeled ice-buckets. There were half a dozen of these around the concourse, so one could collect a number of cans. I drew the line at two, as my day on the Elizabeth Line had still a couple of hours to run and I didn't want to carry any more than two.

It must be difficult to maintain this lovely old canopy. This is one of the busiest small stations in London. Trains pass through here every couple of minutes, in and out of Victoria Station, one London's major termini.
