EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 8th of August, 1976, at Durham Railway Station. In this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we witness an intriguing glimpse into the latest method of acquiring a platform ticket. The image showcases a vintage ticket machine adorned with clear instructions and an official sign. During this era, public transport was heavily reliant on railways for efficient travel. As passengers sought access to their desired platforms, they would approach the ticket dispenser armed with twopenny pieces amounting to four pence - the cost of a platform ticket. However, superstition played its part as well; individuals would also offer a fourpenny coin for good luck. The scene exudes nostalgia as it transports us back in time when railway journeys were commonplace and bustling stations served as gateways to various destinations. This photograph captures not only the physical elements such as the railways and machines but also evokes memories of shared experiences and anticipation that accompanied train travel in those days. With its rich historical context encompassing railways, instructions, signs, and public transport during the 1970s, this print by NCJ offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how transportation systems have evolved over time while cherishing cherished memories associated with train journeys.
