Apologies for the late reply, but thanks Brian!
The "high alter" is the central hall, a mixture of old architecture and modern additions

Llandudno, a short branch off the main line ends at this seaside resort.

Decades ago, the station would have been very busy on summer Saturdays as long trains took holidaymakers to and from their week stays at boarding houses, which provided acommodation and meals. The tracks on one side have since been filled in, giving the station a lopsided appearance..


The ticket barriers remain as a decorative feature. The logo superimposes the letters LM&S for London Midland and Scottish, the company that ran operaations here until it was nationalised in 1948. The yellow sign is a warning to beware of snow and ice!

The other end, signal boxes and semaphore signalling are fast disappearing on the modern railway.

Thanks Pieter. The carriages are from an excursion for the weekend Victorian Festival and Transport Extravaganza, normally the station sees only short diesel units.

Thetford, Norfolk, England.

The original station building to the left was built in 1845 by the Norwich & Brandon Railway, parked cars obstructed the view.


The station was extended by the Great Eastern Railway who built this separate booking office. The inscription cut into the brickwork reads "Thetford Station 1889".
