taken 2 years ago, near to Nottingham, England
Platform 1B
The long platforms at Nottingham are now served by frequent short trains, and the platforms have been divided along the length by letter. Platform 1 is used as Platform 1A, 1B, and 1C. A is closest to the main entrance in the booking hall, at the western end.
Nottingham railway station
There used to be two main stations in the city centre - Victoria (Great Central Railway), which closed in 1967, and this, the Midland Railway's through station. It was built in 1904, architects Lambert and Trubshaw. After a period of decline under British Rail, it is thriving again after a thorough redevelopment in 2013-2014 in connection with the extension of the city's tram system. It currently has seven platforms, and step-free interchange with two tram routes.
The station buildings are listed Grade II* (list entry 1271301) as "an important and outstanding complex of railway station buildings and structures ... [and for the] high quality of its Neo-Baroque architecture, rare among English railway stations".
