Central Station in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, is is a real gem. It is not a terminus station, so the shed covering the tracks and platforms is entered from the side. It is the last major station before Edinburgh on the Northeast Mainline running from London to Scotland. Because of the size of Newcastle, it is also not as large as Grand Central or Penn but it is fine nonetheless.

Another fabulous station is 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, PA; perhaps the finest along the whole of the Northeast Corridor between Boston and Washington, DC. The same relationship between rail station and central post office that once existed in NYC is still evident here. Also, 30th St Station is a good model for how the Farley building could be turned into an elegant and functional station. Like Penn in NYC, it is not a terminus station and combines long distance and commuter services.
