    • 1962 October, Brian Haresnape, “Focus on B.R. passenger stations”, in Modern Railways, page 250:
      The working life span of a passenger carriage, on average, is between 30 and 35 years, so a steady replacement takes place quite naturally. The life span of a station, however, cannot be so easily reckoned, for it depends largely on the rehabilitation and upkeep of the existing structures.
