This zebra crossing on Station road leads to the upper entrance into Stockport station and platform Zero.
Platform Zero was added in 2003 although not used until 2008. It is the only platform that is accessible from street level.
Only three other stations in the UK have a platform zero, Edinburgh Haymarket, London King's Cross and Cardiff Central.

We have zebra crossings on some streets here as well... of course, this time of year they're hiding under snow and slush.
ReplyDeleteZebra crossing is a more imaginative name than pedestrian crossing, which is what we call it in the U.S. I may just start calling it zebra crossing.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Z posting.

I wasn't sure what a zebra crossing was until I visited the UK last summer. I like calling it by that name!
ReplyDeleteExcellent for Z !

This is so creative. I've never called the zebra crossings. Now, I'll always remember that!

Level zero strikes me as humorous.

Platform zero sounds like a great title to a murder mystery
