Damems Station KWVR


This is Damems Station, the smallest station in the UK. It is furnished in 1950s style, from the telephone to the fireplace with roaring open fire, to the ticket machine issuing card tickets. Computers have not been heard of nor seen by staff who work here yet I suspect there is one somewhere at KWVR! How else would they enter information on their Web Site? Volunteers act as if they really are living in the 50s. to keep authenticity in their work and to please the paying visitors. It would be terrible if someone was photographed using a mobile phone, in full view of visitors, at any of the stations. Children in particular would notice and, perhaps, feel cheated abit. I've visited numerous times and never seen anything other than 1950s uniforms, machines, tickets, furnishings, coal fires, politeness from all members of staff and I've felt transported back in time to those gadget-free days.

  • Hi Molls,

    Interesting rants you have there. I have to say, looking at some of the pictures makes me miss the UK a little. When you have been away from Yorkshire for a while, you forget how nice it looks!
