点评:Avenel Railway Station is proudly promoted by the locals, in their main street you will read a sign saying, "Avenel Railway Station opened in 1872. The station house features an original McKenzie & Holland lever frame". The station no longer utilises the frame, as it a 'through' station... no shunting has occurred into the sidings for a number of years.
There is an information board as you walk into the area giving comprehensive ( and rather interesting ) information about the history of the railway in the North East.
The reason you should visit the station though is because a local group of volunteers - 'The Stationeers' keep the gardens of this station in immaculate condition. I have visited at all times of the year and they are always beautiful, but Spring is my favourite time with the flush of colours as the flowers bloom. There is an avenue of trees as you walk up the ramp towards the platform and it has a very welcoming feel.
翻译:当地人自豪地宣传 Avenel 火车站,在他们的主要街道上,您会看到一个标牌,上面写着“Avenel 火车站于 1872 年开通。车站大楼采用原始的 McKenzie & Holland 杠杆框架”。该站不再使用框架,因为它是一个“直通”站……多年来没有发生过分轨。
当您走进该地区时,会看到一个信息板,上面提供有关东北铁路历史的全面(且相当有趣)信息。
不过,您应该参观这个车站的原因是,当地的一个志愿者团体 - “The Stationeers” 让这个车站的花园保持完美无瑕。我一年四季都来过这里,它们总是很美,但春天是我最喜欢的季节,因为鲜花盛开,色彩缤纷。当您沿着坡道走向站台时,会看到一条林荫大道,给人一种非常温馨的感觉。
