I think Cape Town has to be one of my favourite stations. With the Atlantic in front and Cape Town with Table Mountain as a backdrop. I have not visited it since 1997, but Im afraid it is one of those "NO PHOTOS" stations, or at least it was then.

It just has to be Crewe in steam days, although Clapham Junction could be quite interesting before 1966. For present day; Rugby, Doncaster and most of the London terminii.

Welcome to the forum stokeclass20.
I like Rothley as well, it has all the ingredients of a proper steam era station.
Paul.

Paul.
Nottingham Victoria for me too I spent many happy hours there in my early teens I still remember the B1s,V2s & L1s and other Ex LNER types.

Nottingham Victoria would be my favourite old station.
I also liked Eurostar Waterloo International with it's curved roof which was better than the shoe box fitted at the end of St Pancras!

A great Station to "Spot" on in the 50's second only to Birmingham New Street!

In Birmingham we were spoilt for choice!


Best wishes,
