I was on the Kent Coast and I could see land to the east of Sheppey. It looks like I could see some large white buildings between Southend and Shoeburyness. What are these?

The most northerly station on the Northern Rail network. Nearly in Scotland, this station gets one incoming train in the morning from Newcastle, which then heads back south. And then the same in the early evening.

The rest of the day, trains hurtle through at over 100mph as this is on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh.

Only a hourly train between Newcastle and Sunderland. Not very busy as the metro from
the adjoining station, is quicker and probably cheaper.

18 platforms, 25 millions passengers per year, zero soul.

The elevated stations on this airport line are all blending into each other.

On the Manchester Airport line, hence the plane flying overhead.

No buffers at this terminus. No ceremony. Just no more track.
