🚂 Remember when you could catch a steam train from Green Park?
Bath's "other" station was originally called Queen Square, and it was the gateway to the Somerset & Dorset line. The famous Pines Express ran from Manchester to Bournemouth over the S&D, packed with holidaymakers, until its last run on that route in September 1962.
The station closed in 1966 and sat empty for years until it was restored in the early 1980s. Today that Grade II listed train shed shelters market stalls, events and the Saturday farmers' market instead of platforms. 🧺
We spend our days taking people to stations and airports, so we've a real soft spot for this one.
Who remembers catching a train from Green Park, or waving someone off from the platform? 👇
