Tornado At Canonbury Station
Tornado passed along the North London line yesterday, on it’s way from Ipswich to Bath for a shopping excursion. I took these pictures on Canonbury station.
I know it’s only a modern replica, but it was an impressive sight.
It was cold and that probably explains, why so few enthusiasts were on the station to see the train pass. Although there was one kid about sixteen, who said he’d seen the engine before.
Who said train-spotting is dead?
I made a video of Tornado a couple of years ago. It’s here.
