'York Road Railway Station'
Class 31215 comes into York road station
This Station was always a bit of a strange station. It was like a country station in the middle of London. Only feet away from one of London busiest stations. Up trains only used this side of the station and came out of one tunnel only to punch back into another. Its other half was on the other side of the main station and both half's must have been run as two stations?
I took only a few pictures of this station (did any one?) as there was always something better only feet away.
