	Euston station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This station is heavily congested at peak periods, due to large numbers of commuters from north-west London and main-line stations to Rugby colliding with long distance travellers ariving from, or leaving for, stations on the West Coast Main Line.
		The original station was opened on July 20, 1837, as the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway constructed by Robert Stephenson.
		Its Greek Revival Doric portal, "Euston Arch", introduced the concept of a monumental railway station as the modern portal to a city.

	Notable Railway Stations No.23 Carnforth
		But for the first ten years after the'" Ulverston and Lancaster" Railway was opened, the traffic between Yorkshire and the Furness district was carried by way of Lancaster and Carnforth, and in the 1859 time-tables a special train is given for passengers from Leeds and Bradford to Ulverston and Whitehaven.
		The Furness Railway's sheds hold several of their latest types of passenger locomotives, and at the Midland sheds, which are situated about half a mile down the Wennington branch, and are really the joint property of the Furness Railway and Midland Railway, a fair number of engines are kept.
		Unlike Lancaster, Carnforth has few associations with the early railway history of the north-west of England; the town is small and unimportant, and, apart from the fact that a large interchange of passenger and postal traffic takes place at the station, Carnforth would still be an insignificant village on the borders of Lancashire and Westmorland.

	Selby Civic Society Leeds to Selby Railway
		Passenger stations had first appeared on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (LandM), which opened in September 1830 and was the earliest public railway to operate its own locomotive-hauled passenger service from the outset.
		Leeds New Station, as it continued to be called when it was anything but new, opened on 1 April 1869 and, twice enlarged, was rebuilt almost a century later as the present station.
		A modest passenger station was built alongside the new route and all the original railway buildings were demolished, the site of the 1834 station being used for an impressive six-storey grain warehouse to the design of the NER architect, Thomas Prosser.

	House of Commons - Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs - Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence
		As a result the people of Leeds have poor access to the rail network with only 13 suburban railway stations giving the city very poor quality public transport which is too dependent on road transport resulting in additional congestion and poor air quality.
		Most of these were closed during the "Beeching" era when Leeds railways were savagely cut back, much more than other cities, so that by 1965 the city had only nine surburban stations.
		Leeds has over twice the population, is a Metropolitan city and the scheme is superior to that of Nottingham's which duplicates an existing railway and has to rob track from the Robin Hood line.

		Immediately adjoining the station used to stand the Exchange Station, which boasted the longest passenger platform in the world - but - severely damaged by wartime bombings, it was closed in 1969, and now survives largely as an unprepossessing carpark opposite the Cathedral.

	New Statesman: On the right track: the journey to get to them may be hell, but Britain's railway stations remain majestic sites. Matthew Dodd on Network Rail's unique architectural portfolio - The Back Half
		Both stations' engineers faced the problem of bringing their tracks across the Regent's Canal at their rears -- King's Cross chose tunnelling under it, St Pancras bridging over -- which gave the station concourse the excuse to be raised off the ground, and lifted above its neighbour.
		The building survived, but looking through railway publications of the 1970s and early 1980s, it is hard to avoid most authors' implications that this was some sort of baroque antique.
		In London, the hotbed of Victorian mania for terminal construction, the past and present of train stations have cruelly collided in the area around King's Cross.
