4. Correct. I have said in the past that I wouldn't include pictures of that station, but in my defence I didn't actually snap it!

And a warm welcome to the Coffee Shop robert.nash  Grin

Many thanks for the welcome.

Any thoughts on Number 3 yet? My original thought was that I wouldn't want to leave the station via that door in a hurry (which did look perfectly possible when we saw the inside of it).

An addendum to Number 3. At the same location just round the corner from the door with the mahoosive doorstep was this stairway to nowhere.....
