Interesting and informative pictures

I travelled to Snow Hill from Marylebone a couple of years ago. I forget why I chose that route. I quite like Marylebone, it's a nice civilised little station.

It was built for the London Extension of the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway which renamed as the Great Central Railway was the last main line built to London before HS1 and closed north of Aylesbury in the mid 1960s. In hindsight a major mistake as it could have formed much of HS2.
