There is a difference between longer term train naming rather than shorter term ‘marketing’. Nonetheless a great day to celebrate an amazing result. Bravo GWR for being prepared for a result and a speedy execution. #Lionessess

This is St Pancras Station at the turn of the 19 /20th Century - the vast Cathedral like roof arches over the platforms whilst the grand Booking Hall looks more like the entrance to a stately home... the-east-end.co.uk #History

Just me or strange way for a railway TOC to promote rail travel? So many great rail lines in SEAsia, so not sure why it’s by bike (but love bikes, especially when they can go on the train)..

Bill: How can we run our own railway? Sid:  Easy.  All we need is an engine...a few coaches... Tony:  What do you mean “easy”?  You can’t just walk into a shop and ask for an engine and half a dozen coaches.  You’ll probably have to order them! #TheRailStrike

Dinner tonight at the Lale Restaurant, aka The World Famous Pudding Shop. I discovered it in 1995, it was famous in the 1960s as a stop on the Hippie Trail - when you could drive a beat-up VW from London to India via Iran & Afghanistan without being arrested or blown up.
