Leipzig Station

Railway Stations in German cities have always been fantastic buildings, in my view Leipzig is the most stunning railway station I have ever been in. The photo below is from one of the main entrances (there are two at the front and one at either side) the sense of size is immediately obvious.

The photo below is of the main concourse, below it there are two floors containing resteraunts and supermakets. what a great idea a supermarket in a railway station you can go shopping on the way home from work, why do we not do this in the UK?


tucked in a corner of the station was this fantasitc preserved steam engine,



what a fantastic building, it puts all our stations to shame even the restored StPancras.
