London Bridge is a cross-breed - a terminus and a through station -

As is Birmingham Moor St which was originally only a terminus alongside a through main line which didn't have platforms.

When the Snow Hill lines re-opened they were provided with, for the first time, platforms at Moor Street.

Later when Moor Street terminus itself re-opened it became another "hybrid".

Buenos Aires main station in 2008.

 
 

 

Everything you see was made in UK.. signals, water tower, station building.. right down to the edmundson tickets still in use, and the porcelain station potty.

Station arches made in Liverpool.

 

 

 

3rd Rail DC operation side contact, installed by Metro-Vik, but the Metro-Vik EMUs have now gone...., these things do sound like a Bury 504 unit.

 

 

 

 

Definitely one of the grandest stations Ive seen in the southern hemisphere (Sydney's station is quite nice too).

 

 

More the same

Killarney's another oddball one which is both a terminus and through station. For those that don't know, Tralee-bound trains enter the station, then reverse, then use the curve to the right of the picture. Oct2008

This time trains on multi-levels.... 4 levels at Antwerp station, trains on 3 of them..

 

 

 

 

Having been to many of Belgiums stations, this is the only one that seems to have been renovated since the war and has all it's glass in the windows... as side of the Brussels monstrosities, in which I think they shouldnt have bothered (well Nord they didn't).

 

 

More termini...

by shortening the line by about 200m in the early 2000s

 

 

Is there an(other)  end in sight?

 

Cheers,

Another of the mixed varieity - Highbridge - S&DJR - mainly terminus platforms, (or should that be terminal platforms?) but with one for the trains that ran through to Burnham and the Wharf.

Two termini?

 

post-27523-0-57121900-1515921070_thumb.jpg

 

Blaenau Ffestiniog.  The service on the narrow gauge railway is more frequent than the standard gauge, so two trains didn't meet on this occasion.

 

Perhaps a narrow gauge station next?  Bonus points for a narrow gauge terminus.

Here's the terminus (and the start) of the Rhiw Valley Light Railway, a privately owned narrow gauge railway near Welshpool, Powys. The railway's two locos are seen here - 'Jack' is to the front while Powys is to the rear of the photo, just outside the engine shed.

Cape gauge count as Narrow..

 

Here's a diesel at Mossel Bay waiting to return to George.

 

 

 

If not, heres the abandoned terminus at the much prettier location of Knysna and it's old Station..

 

 

 

 

How about Broad (or wider than Standard) gauge Termini next.
