I was in FS in 1989 and there was a class 31 dragging the very shiny new class 91. We'd deliberately booked a ticket to FS to see it.

I think there were wires but for some reason no power.

Current station was built/reopened in 1990. About 100 yards further back, hotel used the same entrance to the older one.

Used to be 13 public platforms, with another few for the Royal Mail.

That's about right. I would have been there in Sept 1989 and I remember it still having building work going on. There was much excitement amongst myself and fellow nerds at this exciting new development.

I suspect the station is a bit different 20 years later. I'm very glad I am: I was right little oik back then...
