The station concourse was closed due to staffing problems, but it was possible to get onto the platforms, using a side gate, in order to catch a train. I don't know how one bought a ticket - presumably on the train.

HWW ~ Auckland Palace Gateway

Herb Riddle has posted:

A new day brings us to the very old town of Bishop Auckland. Set in a beautiful location it is home to the Bishops Palace, Deer park and the famous Kynren British history themed attraction.
The historic Auckland Castle gateway and clock tower was built around 1760 for Bishop Richard Trevor, serving as the grand ceremonial entrance to the former palace of the Prince Bishops of Durham. Features a distinct gothic-revival stone archway and a clock tower housing a remarkably ancient bell with an inscription that traces it back to between 1175 and 1200. This makes it one of the oldest bells in the world

Enjoy full screen and have a good day.

Freiheit ist immer Freiheit der Andersdenkenden...

Berlin, ich liebe dich
mit deinen kleinen Vorhängeschlössern
auf den Brücken

und deiner Mauer,
die eingestürzt ist,
deinem befreiten Gefängnis.

Berlin – es war so schön,
mich
an deinem Gesicht zu reiben

Berlin, ich liebe dich
mit all
deinen Wunden.

Und Lou
singt uns ins Ohr:

„We were in a small café
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
It was paradise“

Berlin, ich liebe
deine Schuhe,
die mit ihren Schnürsenkeln

an den Stromleitungen schwanken
wie Vögel auf einem Ast.

Ich tauche deine Currywurst
in mein Sterni-Bier
und denke an dich

so wie man
an eine Bärin denkt,
stark und zerbrechlich zugleich.

Und Lou
singt uns ins Ohr:

„We were in a small café
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
It was paradise“

Berlin, ich liebe dich
mit deiner Jugend,
die tanzt

Ich stelle mir Bären vor,
die rauchen
in der Rauchstraße

und ich beiße in eine Brezel,
eine riesige Brezel
in Herzform

denn Bono,
wie ein Bonobo,
flüstert uns ins Ohr:

„I’m just down the line from your love… Zoo Station

I'm under the sign of your love... Zoo Station

I'm gonna be there... Zoo Station

Tracing the line... Zoo Station

I'm gonna make it on time, make it on time... Zoo Station“

Berlin hat keine Angst,
weint und tanzt
unter den Linden

Wir sind diese Menschen,
die tanzen
vor Lebensfreude

gegen die Angst vor dem Anderssein,
die berauscht
vor Hass.

Und Rosa flüstert uns ins Ohr:

„.Freiheit ist immer Freiheit der Andersdenkenden. “

Berlin, je t'aime
avec tes petits cadenas
sur les ponts

et ton mur,
qui s'est effondré,
ta prison libérée.

Berlin – c'était si beau,
de me
frotter contre ton visage

Berlin, je t’aime
avec toutes
tes blessures.

Et Lou
nous chante à l’oreille :

« We were in a small café
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
It was paradise »

Berlin, j’aime
tes chaussures,
qui, par leurs lacets,

se balancent sur les câbles électriques
comme des oiseaux sur une branche.

Je trempe ta currywurst
dans ma bière Sterni
et je pense à toi

comme on pense
à une ourse,
forte et fragile à la fois.

Et Lou
nous chante à l’oreille :

« We were in a small café
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
It was paradise »

Berlin, je t’aime
avec ta jeunesse,
qui danse

J’imagine des ours
qui fument
dans la Rauchstrasse

et je croque dans un bretzel,
un énorme bretzel
en forme de cœur

car Bono,
tel un bonobo,
nous murmure à l’oreille :

« I’m just down the line from your love… Zoo Station

I'm under the sign of your love... Zoo Station

I'm gonna be there... Zoo Station

Tracing the line... Zoo Station

I'm gonna make it on time, make it on time... Zoo Station »

Berlin n’a pas peur,
pleure et danse
sous les tilleuls

Nous sommes ces gens-là,
qui dansent
de joie de vivre

contre la peur de la différence
qui enivre
de haine.

Et Rosa nous murmure à l’oreille :

« La liberté, c’est toujours la liberté de ceux qui pensent autrement. »

Caffè Nero

Joe, Son of the Rock has posted:

Glasgow

The building that now houses Caffè Nero on St Enoch Square is in fact the original 1896 booking office and main entrance to the Glasgow Subway, one of the most distinctive pieces of transport architecture in the city.

It was designed by James Miller, and its turrets, gables and ornate detailing made it the showpiece of the system.

During the major Subway rebuild of the late 1970s, the entire underground station was replaced, but the surface building was Category A listed, so it couldn’t be demolished. Engineers jacked it up and suspended it in mid‑air while the new station box was excavated beneath it.

After the rebuild, the old entrance no longer led directly to the platforms. Instead, it became from 1980 until 2008, the SPT Travel Information Centre

In December 2009, the building was converted into a Caffè Nero, which is how most people encounter it today. Despite the change of use, it remains a Category A listed landmark and one of the most recognisable survivors of Victorian Glasgow transport architecture.

Buchanan Bus Station, Glasgow

The Clyde Clock, by Glasgow artist George Wyllie, sprints eternally outside Buchanan Bus Station. Its stainless‑steel legs frozen mid‑stride beneath a cube‑shaped clock. Commissioned by Radio Clyde to mark 25 years of independent broadcasting, it was designed to chime just once a day, at 8 pm, Wyllie’s idea of the perfect meeting time.
