Alphabetical thing: Brimsdown

Brimsdown station was one that I visited back in December.  No, I'd never heard of it before either. It's on the East Anglia route run by National Express, although the actual express trains don't stop here. Still, at least the semi-fast trains do call here, which is more than can be said for nearby Angel Road.

The station has two platforms, each with its own exit by a level crossing. A public foot subway connects the platforms when the crossing is closed to let trains pass.

What's immediately outside the station? Very different things on either side of the railway. To the west is typical suburbia complete with houses, flats, a pub named after a 17th-century fishing guru, and a bus stand where the number 307 route terminates.

Meanwhile, eastwards is a collection of modern warehouses and industrial estates, with Mossop's Creek and the River Lea very well hidden behind them.
