Everything you wanted to know about train stations

But were too afraid to ask!

It's all here.

Enter the name of the station, then click on the little box that includes 'Route planning around the station including maps and platforms' THEN click on Large Version. When you scroll your mouse over it you will see clickable pictures.

They seem to have pictures of every station in the UK. For example, here is the access to the teeny Sugar Loaf Halt station on the Heart of Wales line:

That really does go into quite some detail.
But why do I need to see this to plan my visit to Wolverhampton station? [:)]

Excellent, I've now found out Droitwich Spa (my hometown) doesn't have any CCTV. Must remember to vandalise it next time I'm there.

LOL - what investment in the rail network was that again!

And I would like to recommend this card shop if you're passing through Liverpool Street [;)]

To be fair, Sugar Loaf Halt is teeny (99 passengers per year, although station usage statistics are not an exact science here and I would say it's probably double!!) and would never justify any investment. You literally wave the train down as it passes, or if you are on board, ask the conductor to stop for you.

Here is another picture:

I love the fact that there was not even any effort made to clean up the stations before the pics were taken. Here is my current local station:
