We've got this beauty:
Local is relative. Post your closestThere isn't one here. It would be great if there was, it would make it possible for Mrs D to come to see me. As it is she would have to spend about an hour on the bus to get to the nearest.
Yep!Burley Park?
Huddersfield is a lovely station. Mine is Manchester Piccadilly - not very attractive from the outside...
This was my local, but it closed 60 years ago
I like Picadilly.Yes, I agree it's not very attractive, but it has the added advantage of that back route up the stairs in the platform 13/14 area if you don't have a ticket.
The front is all boarded up at the moment as they're rebuilding it and extending the concourse I think. Centurion is still open thoughNow there's a proper station! If only for The Centurion!

The Heads station is alright. Nice toilets and the staff are friendly
Five altogether but only platforms 3 (heading to Reading) 4 (heading to Paddington) and 5 (the Marlow Donkey line, which is basically a tiny branch line going to Bourne End and Marlow) are used regular.
How many platforms?
Huddersfield has 8 but 3 and 7 have gone missing.
Have to enter this circle of hell twice a day:
They're really quite full on these days on platform 13/14, with ticket staff lurking at every access point, including on the footbridge from other platforms. I don't think there is a way onto the platforms without encountering these. They quite often man every door from the concourse too - usually just Northern Rail staff - and as I don't use their trains I just point to a Cross Country or Virgin train on the platform and walk straight past them.
I guess fare evasion is a serious problem in Manchester...
Oh and the nice warm waiting room on platforms 4 and 5 has free WiFi
Yep... well apart from my three grand travelcardFree WiFi?
Free WiFi?
Very 'quaint', isn't itThat is lovely and well kept.
