As far as I know, no heritage railway has yet restored a station to
British Rail corporate style (e.g. with "See a Friend This Weekend"
posters and buffet branded as Travellers-Fare). Is it just a matter of
time? Is there a generally constant interval that elapses before the
general public will regard a past era as Heritage? Or are some eras
more resistant to being cast in the rosy glow of nostalgia?

I went to the GCR Diesel Gala on Saturday 12/09/09, they had some
original 1970's BR posters up at Loughborough Central.

For a real 'Life on Mars' experience, you could try Manchester
Victoria, I went in there last October, it still had 1970's style BR
signage and other features.

There are of course plenty of blue diesel fanatics but it's not their
enthusiasms that I'm thinking about here; I'm wondering about the
perceptions of the "normal" public.

Gosh - does this mean my turntable and vinyl long players are back in
fashion ??

They have been for a few years now, you can buy some very nice
'designer' turntables from proper hi-fi shops, also DJ decks such as
the 'Technics 1200' never went away. Just recently, all the Beatles
LP's have been re-released on vinyl, along with various other classic
albums. Many reggae and electronic music releases are avalable on
vinyl too.
