The Worst Station In The UK
If they wanted to remake Brief Encounter, all they’d need to do was go to Manchester Victoria station and add a few steam trains. Not for nothing was it voted the UK’s worst station in 2009.
Although come to think of it, if a powerful steam engine, went through the station, it would probably cause the tonnes of muck in the station roof to fall off and kill a few passengers, even if the steam didn’t blow the station down.
Salvation is at hand, as Network Rail are rebuilding the station and putting a new roof on the station, to protect the squalor from the elements.
At least the information screens work and I found my way successfully to the train.

Yes, it is awful! Dirty and dingy and grimy and unhelpful if you actually want to find a train or a disembarking passenger. Piccadilly is much better, but I rarely use trains

Piccadilly shares with Euston, the accolade of one of the worst 1960s designed stations in the UK and both are poor against some of the recently refurbished ones. When they rebuild Victoria, Piccadilly will be shown in its true colours.
Lime Street is much better. There is only one problem there and that is that you don’t meet anybody under the clock, as just as Liverpool has a cathedral to spare, Lime Street has a clock to spare.

It is many years since I have been to Euston.

You’ve not missed much! It’s even worse, if you connect from Euston to the Underground. Although getting on a bus is relatively easy, even in a wheelchair.
