Ah - the hours I spent on those platforms in the 1950s (there were six platforms then!) watching Gresley, Thompson and Peppercorn locos - not to mention all those slower trains to places like Tow Law, Penrith via Stainmore, Middleton-in-Teesdale - and the lovely little Richmond branch. Used to have to purchase a penny platform ticket which gave the freedom of the station for the day. Of course, the old footbridge from Albert Street was free and usually teeming with small boys - 25 000 volt cables put a stop to that. Somehow, progress can be very disappointing>

I wondered what the ecml signs mean out of the station

East Coast Main Line. The main line goes past the station on the East side. The station itself isn’t actually on the main line. Thanks for watching, and asking.
