Sunderland station is still an absolute hole, regardless of how many artists they commission, or how much flooring they put in.
Dark, unwelcoming and uninspiring.

Sunderland had plenty of light during World War II although there appeared to be a litter problem. A view from my Northumbrian site:

Maybee they should rename it to Underland, what a dump!

mr B .. slaggy islander, the home of true smoggie's

A typical smoggy retort, remember Boro station isnt much to look at either, nor was it during the war.

totaly agree, for plenty of fresh sea air and sea views try Nethertown, or the warmer south at Braystones !

Nethertown station house photograph on 20 March 2010, recently changed hands in exess of quater of a million, only draw back is railtrack have 24 hour access to land, not forgetting the westely's straight of St Georges channel

any way enough of this LMS thingy lets get back to the east coast, and if The KLF can survive what Nethertown has to offer Sellafield has no chance !!!

Frend of mine sold that house, he has pictures of it when it was abandodned and then of him restoring it, I remember it after it was used in Spoils of War, it had fake side fitted with fake window. The station was abandoned and full of stuff and tickets, the signal box top had gone, just a brick base, also a plate layers hut down the platform end. what a great place it was back then

Need to look at sellafield

Very nice MR B, I've seen your layout of another sight, my mum lives at Coulderton beach which you have also done she lives in Tomlin view which you can find pictures of on the net along with all the beach houses along that coast, interestimg site. if you need and pictures taking of that coast feel free to ask me.
I played in that house as a young boy and the station but mostly the beach and the large pool it once had.
My friend has pictures of the house when the railway sold it.

hi, KLM thanks for the kind words, the site I've visited a few times is a Tesco (?) site PastPresented.info or just google Braystones beach . any one, well worth a visit even just to see how the other half lived, It'll open your eyes, especialy if you like the seaside.

I just took a quick lookie at the BBC article and I see that the old BR logo/graphic is still in use on the station sign. I'm 30 years away from the UK, so who does the logo belong to now? I remember the old joke about that logo and it's depiction that BR didn't know whether it was coming or going.

It was blow down a couple of years ago and left in a field for weeks, its now back in place, I was shocked to see it go back up, thought they would have fitted a new one.................good job I didn't take it
