They Come in Other Colours Too!

Apparently, if you have a similar need, you can have them in other colours, so macho men could have dark blue or black, Arsenal supporters dould have red, Ian Paisley could have orange and the Pope could have purple.
Shoreditch Station is Sold
The old Shoreditch station was put up for sale a week or so ago, with a guide price of £180,000.
But it now appears to have been sold for £665,000. Do some have more money than sense? Or does it show that the property market is recovering?
London Bridge is Going Up
The picture shows the new bridge going up, that will take the Thameslink tracks to Charing Cross over Borough Market on a viaduct.
New Thameslink Bridge at London Bridge
When I met one of the project managers at King’s Cross a few weeks ago, he assured me it was all on schedule.
This viaduct at Borough Market will remove one of the worst bottlenecks on the railway network and illustrates how the Victorian builders of the network, often did things on the cheap and without any thought for the future. After a long public enquiry, the permission was finally given for the new viaduct to effectively double the capacity through the area.
Hopefully, when the market is rebuilt underneath the viaducts, it will continue to be an asset to London for many years in the future. Some though have expressed serious doubts about the scheme.
