A colour image of a view across the concourse at Manchester Piccadilly station in 1988 fromt he City Archives. A light terrazzo floor dominates and there are metal and timber benches in a line with passengers sitting and waiting. The platform entrances are to the right with Platform 7 closest. In the background is a flame red counter with a bank of computer style screens above. There are yellow BR marked litter bins visible. Above are BR standard style signs, the closest saying "Left Luggage "Lost Property" with a blue arrow left and "Telephones" and blue arrow right.
Concourse at Manchester Piccadilly station in 1988 & looking very British Rail. This was before the major refurbishment completed in 2002. @doublearrow64.bsky.social #Manchester #railways

First time on Madrid Metro and generally impressed. Very clean and efficient, and Chamartin station is spectacular!

Today's #BRNostalgia. The Class 08 used to be found at stations and yards across the UK. 1057 were built, only a few are left. Here's one at Bow Midland yard in E London in April 1991. Note the #Stratford depot sparrow logo. paulbigland.zenfolio.com/p651486993/e... #railways #photography #nostalgia
1972 Quad Royal poster map showing the British Rail Passenger Network. On left the outline of GB & NI in white surrounded by a turquoise sea. Rail routes are shown in red and ferry services in black. On right - expanded 'area' maps coveirng Central Scotland, Liverpool & Manchester, Leeds & Sheffield, Birmingham and London. The title banner shows the BR symbol and lettering in white, Passenger Network 1972 in black on flame red background.
Although @doublearrow64.bsky.social I have to say I like the flame red banner on the 1972 edition! The British Rail Passenger Rail Network quad royal poster map showing a few losses from the previous year such as Rawtenstall - Bury. #railways #maps @transitmap.net
