Oh I see - I didn't understand that you liked it but thought it would be better appreciated elsewhere from your first comment. I think I'd argue that's at least partly due to changed attitudes about railway stations. In 1865 I think it would've seemed grander and more prominent, more of a presence while bustling about between horse-drawn and train carriage, calling a porter, etc.; today's stations themselves are not grand, we bustle in broadly the same ways but perhaps more busily, heads in phones, between machinery that moves more quickly, and what was perhaps once a fairly open free for all semi-square is not, from memory, a taxi rank and a road divided by the cross?
