#railway — Modernist Delights

Spiral staircase at Manchester Victoria railway station, 2025

A green metal spiral staircase with mesh railings stands outdoors, sheltered partially by round roofs. It is attached to a modern building, next to a fence and construction barriers, with a cloudy sky and city buildings in the background.

Carr House Lane bridge, Lancaster, 2025

A narrow tarmac path curves under a stone railway bridge with overhead electric wires. Trees with autumn leaves and green bushes line the sides. A cloudy sky looms above. Metal railings and a blue sign are visible near the tunnel entrance.

Exeter Switching Centre seen from Exeter Central railway station, 2021

A railway station platform with a metal footbridge overhead, a large concrete building in the background, and a white sign displaying the number 15 near the tracks. The station appears empty and the sky is overcast.

Photomator randomly opened to this photo I never posted, so I guess it’s fate.

Concrete ramp, London Euston station, 2025

A ramp with short sides made of concrete. In the sky, the sun is breaking through the clouds. There are trains either way of the ramp, as well as other central London buildings in the background.

As the train snaked its’ way through outer London, I thought to myself “how long until I find some concrete to photograph” – turns out, I only needed to wait until it pulled into Euston and I caught glimpse of this ramp, once used for British Rail’s Red Star Parcels service, in the moody summer sundown.

Unnecessarily good looking staircase at Manchester Oxford Road railway station, 2025

A spiral metal staircase with blue railings is attached to a small, white building at a train station. People walk along the platform, with a white train on the left. Bright daylight casts shadows, and city buildings are visible in the background.

Sign at Manchester Oxford Road station, 2024

This sign at Manchester Oxford Road is a high-vis and screwdriver jobbie for sure.
