Mike Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Cupar is pretty nice with the wee garden bit around the main building. There's plenty of near identical stations in that neck of the woods, North Queensferry is nice I seem to remember. All the big Scottish ones are horribly bleak places to start/end a journey. Flinders is up there for me too, looks like a big station should. Other favourites are the steam railway one in Minehead, Somerset (for olde worlde charm) and any of the Dubai metro ones (for feeling like your in a science fiction vision of the future). There are some nice ones in Finland too, extensive use of wooden buildings and whatnot. Great topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carron Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 errol wis braw in its day.just needs a wee spruce up. Errol Station was shut back in 1985. The station building is currently a Cafe and Craft shop. I can't see it ever opening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
