Beyond the colossal examples, many medium-sized "Station Hotels" or "Railway Hotels" were built directly adjoining stations in towns across the UK (e.g., in Bristol, Derby, etc.). While some have been converted or demolished, many have experienced periods of severe neglect, partial vacancy, or conversion into less glamorous uses. They represent the widespread network of railway-centric hospitality that, on a smaller but equally poignant scale, fell silent as their primary clientele vanished from the tracks.
