Markinch
Anyone unfamiliar with Markinch station would assume this is a look along the platform, but in fact the Down platform is one storey below: it's almost as if the 1847 builder misread the architect's drawing. As the debris might indicate this building is no longer in use. The ticket office moved to a swish new building when the station became a transport interchange 3 years ago. Note the lettering on the lampshades. This is in the Gill Sans typeface used by British railways until 1964 and in the Scottish Region colour of light blue. A rare survivor, protected no doubt by its position of invisibility from the platform.
