An excellent shot of a magnificent building. I do like the restoration work and new extension built onto the side. Hopefully it won't be long before I pass through this wonderful station on my way to visit my youngest daughter in south-west London. Fav!
It is a fabulous station. Brought back memories for me. Haven't been there since the 1980s. I seem to remember there being a fire there during the 80s, but could be wrong. We were living in Cyprus at that time during our RAF days and only went back to the UK for a short time before coming to Australia. The last railway station we saw before we left UK was Kings Cross before embarking on our journey to Oz.
@onewing yes unfortunately there was a fire in 1987 killing 31 people but it was in the tube station rather than the mainline overground station. It started from a cigarette thrown onto the wooden escalator. Smoking was banned throughout stations after that. I was only 24 and had passed through that ticket hall at the top of the escalator only half an hour before it was destroyed by the flames. I will never forget that day.
