  1. The station hasn't changed much, but I suspect the neighborhood has.

  3. The station and its surroundings were never that empty when I travelled to Nottingham for business in the 1990s.

  4. Isn't life funny how these strong beautiful masses of stunning buildings can indeed outlast all of our breaths! I fear most of those built today will not....especially the plastic vinyl-sided houses...

  5. It hasn't changed at all! I've been through it a number of times but I didn't see Bob.

  6. Not a car in sight in the first view! It never ceases to amaze me how many of these buildings remain unchanged.

  7. I've not been to Nottingham station, but I travelled through Leicester station several times a few years ago and, from memory, the entrance looks almost identical. Nice to see it still much as it was back then.

  10. There are a number of architectural similarities to Sheffield Midland Station. But the Sheffield station has been updated and improved and in a comparatively rare move - is now better than it was before.
