Elevated urban terminus?

[Max Legroom]

I can't think of a place where a non-railway building is right up against the end of the tracks as in Ian Futers' layout.

 

But I can imagine a case where it could have. When Broad St station was demolished to make way for Broadgate, a residual service of North London Line trains was diverted via a rather steep and inconvenient chord at Hackney into Liverpool St. But it would also have been possible to build a new, smaller Broad St station further north, hard up against Broadgate. Indeed, ISTR, there was a temporary Broad St station for a while during construction of the Graham Road Chord.

 

Same might apply in any other city where a large terminus has been closed and built on with just a local train service remaining.

I always thought that the building right behind the bufferstops on Newcastle Haymarket looked a bit vulnerable! Great layout all the same.

Manchester Oxford Road. Had the entrance to the adjacent Cornerhouse cinema behind the bay platforms.

Although the tube lines continue on, Greenford is an elevated terminus for the Branch from Ealing

Depends on your definition of urban, but in the 1830s Merthyr Tydfil was the largest town by population in Wales; Dowlais Central, was built out of the side of the mountain on an embankment and was known as 'the tip' in consequence.  It is unusual for South Wales in being a terminus, with no line continuing past it to a colliery or ironworks.
