York Railway Station

A rare trip to the Yorkshire city of York gives me a chance to see a live grand railway station. Here we are looking down onto platform six with one of the LNER (London North East Railway) Azuma trains ready to depart to London’s Kings Cross station

The station itself was built in 1870 replacing the older one and is operated by the LNER and is on the ECML (East Coast Main Line). York being approximately halfway between London and Edinburgh. The original wooden station built in 1839 was the largest railway station in the world possessing 13 platforms.

Enjoy the day.

Thanks Gordon. Yes some nice shots available from here as we carry on to the transport museum. This taken with my phone even though I have similar ones with my Nikon. This just looked more pleasing.

Good that you have enjoyed this shot Keith. Yep, not bad for a phone capture at all. As you say here, the station looked to be very well looked after.

Hi Herb
I like this picture very much!
Always nice to see York, and of course the railway museum adjacent.
Not quite the same without a steam train though!
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Very nicely composed in what was likely a busy place.
