Hi,
At the expense of sounding stupid I want to ask a very basic railway question.
What exactly in English were / are high and low level stations?
Is it as simple as you have to go down to a low level station and up for a high level station from ground level?
I've been to many stations where you walk into the entrance, get your ticket, and then walk uphill through the station to the platform you need. One example is Salford central.
Is this all to do with a platform being other than at ground level - if so, many stations are either low or high level - and yet I can't find any definition of them.
This is both an historical and modern question - but felt comfortable posting it here.
Thanks,
Andy.
