Ticket office on an overbridge[edit]

I have deleted the words "it is somewhat unique on this line to have the station buildings on the road overbridge" Several others have such as Leicester, Nottingham, West Hampstead therefore it cannot be unique [[Steamybrian2 (talk) 23:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)]][reply]

Ah, but note the qualifying words "on this line". Seeing as neither Leicester, Nottingham nor West Hampstead were on this line (opd 8 May 1857), the question is, what of the stations between Wigston and Hitchin only? --Redrose64 (talk) 21:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they were on this line - it is the present Midland Main Line which makes the "Disused Railways" template a bit questionable surely? Chevin (talk) 16:23, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about "Disused": since there is still a passenger service over this line (although not calling at Irchester), the term should have been "Historical".

Now fixed

Back to the original point: the MML wasn't built in one go, but in sections: Derby-Nottingham and Trent-Leicester came first, then Leicester-Rugby, then Wigston-Hitchin, finally Bedford-London. Each section, being built at different periods, is likely to have had different architects, but the designs within a section might be expected to show a high degree of consistency. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
