"The Railway Platform" by Laurence Stephen Lowry is his very famous Painting. The platform of this station is crowded, thronging with figures from all walks of life. Businessmen chat, read the newspaper or simply stand with their briefcases, waiting for their train to arrive. Women with shopping and children are mixed amongst them, suggesting perhaps that we may be looking at a crowd waiting to go home after a day in the town centre. Skilfully Lowry weaves a curving line along the platform and back, taking the viewer from each little vignette to the next, very much the way we might if we found ourselves on the opposite platform, casually waiting for our own train and casting an eye over the scene.
