Is is the verb in the first sentence and the station is the subject. In the second sentence are is the verb and the tickets is the subject. Here is an adverb of place in both sentences. The inversion (= verb before subject) is due to here. In other Germa

Interestingly, if you replace the nouns with pronouns in the original sentences, inversion is not possible:

1. Here it is. (it = the station)
2. Here they are. (they = the tickets)
