IDAT 101

In IDAT 101 we are designing an Interactive installation inside the train station. So we have been told to look at Plymouth Train station like the sounds, how many people are there on a day also draw some pictures and capture some images. But for an Interactive installation idea i thought of showing the audience what the train station use to look like and also i wanted to find out the difference between the old station and the new station.

This was the opening of the Plymouth train station  it opened in 1877 and it looks really busy and a popular traveling destination this is from the way the train was a main type of transport.

This is what it looks like now and it isn't as busy, this is because the way there are different means of transport but it can get quite busy at the Plymouth train station from time to time.

I found this picture on the internet and i think its a great picture because it shows you what the canteen use to look like and it was called the Lord Mayors Hut Buffet.
Now in the Train Station there is a WH Smiths which sells loads of different magazines and sweets where looking back in history the only had a limited number of magazines and also sweets so times have changed in the Train station.

  This is what the Train station looks like from a view now a days its got quite a big area and there are trains going in and out of here every 10 to 20 minutes every day. The Train station is open from 4:30am to 1:00am and has full time staff operating the train station.

This is what the train station looked like in 1905 there are look alike features but there is not the big building and as many tracks. So this tells us the Train industry got bigger as we moved into the future but it also decrease by inventions of different automobiles.
