During my stroll about town last weekend I captured these images of Winterthur’s railway station. There has been a ‘main’ railway station in Winterthur since 1855, but it wasn’t until the mid 1890s that it achieved its current form. As with most larger railway stations of that time, a certain grandeur is apparent.
Nowadays most railway stations of any size seem to have there own shopping centre. Winterthur is no exception and at the turn of this century ‘Stadttor’ was built, providing the station with a light, friendly shopping area.
Train stations also usually have a bus station not far away, and as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago (Taj Mahal) the bus station roof is perhaps not one of the prettiest constructions ever made.
