EDITORS COMMENTS
The derelict and vandalised Longbenton Railway Station on 6th September 1978" captures a haunting snapshot of an era long gone. This evocative print by NCJ takes us back to the gritty reality of public transport in the 1970s. The once bustling station now stands deserted, its platforms echoing with memories of countless journeys taken. The image reveals a scene of neglect and decay, as graffiti covers every available surface and broken seats lie scattered across the platform. It is a stark reminder of the vandalism that plagued many urban areas during this time period. Yet amidst the desolation, there is an undeniable beauty in the peeling paint and weathered architecture. This photograph transports us back to an era when trains were not just a means of transportation but also symbols of progress and connectivity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even grand structures can fall into disrepair if left unattended. As we gaze upon this relic from the past, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of modernizing our public transport systems. Today's commuters may take for granted the convenience and efficiency that was lacking during this turbulent period. NCJ's print captures both the melancholy and resilience inherent in abandoned spaces like Longbenton Railway Station. It invites us to reflect on our collective history while appreciating how far we have come since those days.
