Great Railway Stations
Presented by Ian Swankie. If you think of St Pancras International or New York’s Grand Central Station, you imagine long romantic journeys. You know they are special places promising excitement and adventure, and there are dozens of other glorious stations all over the world. This talk explores some of the most evocative and splendid railway stations. We look at the magnificence of station architecture and engineering, and the many depictions of stations in art – like Monet’s Gare St Lazare or William Powell Frith’s Paddington. A journey which is lavish, colourful and fun, evoking the spirit of romance and adventure.
