Does it send a message to those in wheelchairs?
Coffee And Pretzels At Clapham Junction
Not for me the pretzels, but the coffee was good in my pit-stop at Knot Pretzels at Clapham Junction station.
I do love their innovative use of an old trunk for the sugar and stirrers.
Closing A Chapter – The New South London Line Opens
In some ways today, I closed a chapter in my life, that started when I moved back to London. Soon after, the rebuilt East London Line of the London Overground opened. I wrote about it here.
Today they opened the last section to Clapham Junction station and I was on the first train there from Highbury and Islington station.
The pictures could have been better, but it was just after seven this morning.
Not Everybody Is In Favour Of The New South London Line
This article on the BBC, shows that at the moment not everybody is in favour of the new South London Line as some of the inner suburban services will be dropped. But politicians will jump on any bandwagon however rickety to try to get one over on their rivals.
However, I think this will blow over, as partly the changes are caused by the rebuilding of London Bridge station.
I have used the inner South London line a few times to get to Victoria, by taking a bus to London Bridge station and then meandering through Peckham. The pictures of Battersea Power Station were taken on such a trip.
I’m just off to catch the first train from Highbury and Islington to Clapham Junction. It’ll take me longer to get round than this video.
What A Difference A Good Win Makes
I went to see Ipswich Town for the first time in a home match for some time.
The trains were actually trains and not buses and the match was worth seeing as Ipswich beat Millwall by three goals to nil.
Let’s hope this sequence of wins continues. I’m off to Leeds on next Saturday.
How To Rip Off Amazon?
With all the fuss about the tax Amazon doesn’t pay I like this advert.
How To Rip Off Amazon?
It’s boldly displayed in Angel station.
Rekindle is defined in a dictionary as to arouse or cause to be aroused again.
Rehearsals At Queens Road Peckham
I took these pictures as a London Overground train did a touch-and-go at Queens Road Peckham station.
On Sunday, they’ll be doing it for real!
But what a lovely day despite it being so cold!
What Goes On Near Here?
This tiling is at Oval station on the Underground.
What Goes On Near Here?
We need more art on the Underground and generally in public!
The Northern Line Extension Exhibition
Today, I went to a Transport for London exhibition about the new Northern Line Extension to Battersea.
It was at the Oval cricket ground and is there for the rest of today and tomorrow morning.
It was well laid-out and informative. If you have any interest in how the new stations will affect you, I would recommend you go.
As it’s in an excutive box, you get a superb view of a cricket ground in winter.
St. George Wharf Tower
St. George Wharf Tower is a residential tower near Vauxhall. Here are a few pictures.
It dominates the landscape as The Shard does. But in my view, it not quite the same blot on the landscape as that tower.
I took the pictures from a London Bridge to Victoria train. These will stop on Saturday with the extension of the Overground.
