Baker Street station opened in 1863 making it one of the oldest (if not the oldest) stations still operating in London. On this platform the glass oval windows were originally open shafts to let light in and the fumes from the coal fired engines out.
They have been looking after it well Mo, how wonderful it would be to see it back then in 1863 with the hustle, bustle and steam everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the things that improves with age. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks good for it's age.
ReplyDeleteIt looks still very nice, even rather modern.
ReplyDeleteTough job getting around the London Underground, but the stations have such a lovely ambience
ReplyDeleteLooks great Mo.
ReplyDeleteI remember this station very well. This is a beautiful shot of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, its a station I have not been to.
ReplyDeleteCool station, Mo!
ReplyDeleteYour subway photos make the stations seem much more beautiful than I remember. Either they have been cleaned up since I was last there, or your photographic skills are creating the impression of beauty.
ReplyDeleteThis old station sure has been kept up well....it looks so damn good compared to most of the stations here in NYC *( some of which are so grungy and ramshackle and with crumbling parts of the ceiling in places..
ReplyDeleteThere are some newer stations and parts of NYC stations that look pretty good but this Baker Street one is really a handsome place..or your photographic skill makes it look that way, Great shot!
wow, interesting , i like the windows :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good!
