Main Overhead View - York Railway Station, UK

Halfway between London and Edinburgh, York is one of the great crossroads of Britain's railways, and this camera looks down over the busy lines at the heart of it.

High-speed trains to Scotland and London thunder through alongside local services to Leeds, Scarborough and the Yorkshire coast, and every few minutes something else rolls into view, from sleek intercity trains to heavy freight.

It's busiest in the morning and early evening, when commuters pack the trains and the timetable is at its fullest. Rail fans love York for that variety, and heritage steam engines still pass through on special excursions, a reminder of the city's long railway history.

Did You Know? York’s grand curved station opened in 1877, and at the time it was the largest railway station in the world.
