This is Stalybridge station in sunlight. I have painted it before. It always carries an air of expectation and anticipation. I have left from here to go to far flung corners of the earth! Making several connections along the way of course. They are always "improving" it - at the front there now stands a kind of glass and metal shelter with hard, cold, metal seats no one wants to sit on. Before that they had old wooden benches, glossy with so many layers of paint. They were worth the graffiti and the pen knife assaults because they were warm and friendly. The shape of things to come, eh?
