We have quite taken to sitting on the indoor rooftop viewing platform. As the evenings are drawing in this means an early view of sunsets and into the hours of darkness. Here's an example. When Settle stations lovely old 'gas lamps' come on in response to the darkness the view is even lit up for us.
The lamps are actually modern exact replicas of the once familiar Victorian copper topped lamps on cast iron posts. Every station along the line has them as a result of a huge grant from the Railway Heritage Trust. They used to have those orange coloured sodium lamps, recently replaced with LED bulbs of gas-lamp colour. Don't they look fine? Far cheaper to run as well.
