So I just came across this picture
Apparently a private residence now, it is old railroad station. No idea where it is.
And this picture
Which i assume is the old main station. I think it must be gone now because I would have no clue where it is then. But I was thinking, if rail was brought back to Manchester, it would be awesome if the building incorporated or was designed based off of this old station. Just be kinda cool. It could incorporate some design elements but somehow still be modern and fit into the current day city in a sense. I have no idea how, just thought of that when I saw this picture.
The thing that many train stations lack today are how they are impressive. And I know that is because they want to reduce cost of building them because trains are not sued as much now, but old train stations are so impressive even in the middle of no where, they have a train station look and each on is different.
I guess a weak and yet modern day example would be the Boston Express Exit 2 Bus station in Salem IMO is actually nice looking. It is attractive and I think they did a very good job. Nothing amazing, but for something that nice to be built these days is rare. I just like the way it looks. I would hate to see a trains station come being something lame.
It has got to be impressive and a nicely designed place. I would even take something modern and nothing relating back to any original stations, just nothing that is unattractive.
