View over the concourse from the main entrance to York station on 22 April 2009. Above the W H Smith is a Costa Coffee Shop accessed from the other side [see image 23557]. Amazing what can be done with a redundant signal box as an alternative to demolition.... given a bit of thought!

Old West box, Waverley, June 2004. Surely a missed opportunity for an interesting combined coffee shop / heritage project in Princes Street Gardens?
