Based on my review of my own local station of St Michael's you know I love a nice retro station and…read moreWest Kirby's is no exception. West Kirby is such a charming place and its station is a wonderful gateway to it from the other side of the water... It has managed to retain its Victorian and 1940s charm (it was built in 1878 and electrified in 1938) whilst still being user friendly - if anything it feels more spacious and pleasant than many of the more modern Merseyrail stations. What is so great about West Kirby station though is that there are so many delightful cafes and shops so close by to divert and kill time whilst one is waiting for one's train. Be careful - it's very easy to get too diverted and miss it!

This is a nice little station. Maybe the fact that I love the name Blundellsands and Crosby has…read moresomething to do with, but I really do like this station. It's well looked after, clean, the staff are friendly, and as Isabel has pointed out it has heated waiting areas which is always a plus in the colder months of the year. :) I don't think there are any shops around here worth shopping at, though, if I'm completely honest. If you need a newsagents or something, sure, but otherwise don't bother.

Preston railway station in Preston, Lancashire, England, is a major station on the West Coast Main…read moreLine, roughly half-way between London Euston and Glasgow Central - it is around 200 miles or 2 1/4 hours or so from both - that being said is right in the middle of the two, it is quite an important station, operated by Virgin Trains but I'd even go as far to say this is one of the worst Category B stations I've visited (On the contrast I find the likes of Brighton and Stockport to be the best) The station is mainly used by Virgin Trains who provide routes to destinations such as London, Glasgow and Blackpool but is also used by other services such as Northern (Slow train into Manchester and Greater Manchester towns as well as offering services to Blackpool, York and Liverpool) and TPExpress (fast services into Manchester Piccadilly in 36 minutes, Manchester Airport and Glasgow/Edinburgh. Caledonian Sleeper trains also pass through here, once per day in both directions (London/Scotland) For a nine platform station, it still feels pretty small, unlike virtually every other main train station which is the main one of a city/category B and above there isn't a WHSmith - nor is there much at the station nonetheless other than a few coffees stands with little seating, and a Starbucks which couldn't serve food OR COFFEE! (Come on... are they called Starbucks tea or Starbucks coffee?) The ticket area is pretty small and it does close even at busy times in the evening - meaning it can be hard to find a member of staff. When I did find a staff member they did seem friendly enough even though they had thousands of football fans singing after watching Manchester City defeat Preston North End 3-0 in the third round of the Carabao Cup. It is in a good location for the centre, being only a short walk away from the shopping area, and two stops on the bus from the bus station with cabs outside the station. 2* - Poor facilities in the station but a good location, with friendly enough staff for the extra star.

Going to work by train doesn´t necessarily mean you have to run straight to the cleaner´s the way you do it in the Czech Republic :D Prima malé nádraží s pár otevřenými pokladnami, prostorným novinovým stánkem a stánkem s občerstvením. Přehledné tabule, snadná orientace. Jezdit vlakem do práce neznamená skočit šipku do čistírny tak, jak je to typické v Česku :D

Not to be confused with Unfair Pwll Railway Station which is named after a very unfair Pwll,…read morewhatever a Pwll is. This is a cute little railway station on the North Wales Coast Line, right along the track from London to Holyhead (which is basically London to Dublin if you think about it). It was closed down for five years in the 60s because of a horrible fire, but it's back now. It has platforms on both sides and a lovely old white and brown brick house that reminds me of a pub on the main platform. It also has a cute signal box as well. It's definitely a very pretty town, and one of my favourite things about its station it is this famous sign which has the full name of the city, a very very long name, the longest on record I think, and for this sign alone it has to get 5 stars, as it's one of the most famous tourist attractions in Wales.

It's one of those "things to do before you die" places. Some people choose to go to the Amazon, others to the Sahara desert or exploring Asia... it just so happens that I chose a sleepy village in north west Wales. The train station is the main attraction of the village with tourists such as myself coming from unbelievable distances to look at a sign. Amazing when you think about it in principle, a little sad when you've done it and are reflecting on a long day out! Still, there are some great Facebook photo opportunities. Within the grounds of the station is a mini art gallery type thing (basically a room with some random pretty things to make deflated tourists feel like they've done a number of activities). When I was there there were a couple of funky guitars on show with some pictures of Wales. Not a bad addition to the place but not much to shout about. Outside is a big car park so you can pull up and see the station. The station itself is operational and runs trains to Birmingham. Unusually it is a request stop so when you see a train coming you have to put your arm out like you would a bus. Opposite the station is a small shopping centre (more like a department store) where you can buy Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch related memorabilia as well as anything they can stick a Welsh flag on. The locals speak Welsh as a first language but do revert to English as I'm sure they see a lot of non Welsh tourists. I found them to be very friendly and helpful when needed. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Station is a place which is best shared with friends and is best included in a larger selection of activities as opposed to being the core one. Once you've seen the big sign and taken a picture, there isn't much to it!
