Used High Speed 1 at long!

Yes, I know, I am very late to the party, but I’ve used High Speed 1 (HS1) at long last! I only went a short distance between Stratford International and St Pancras railway station. Next time, I will need to make sure, I do a longer journey.

Charing Cross – Access All Areas

WOW! I did the Charing Cross – Access All Areas tour, while in London today! It’s got to be, one of best things you can do in London! So great fun seeing parts of Charing Cross underground station, that the public don’t normally get to see!

The parts of the station you get to see have been closed to the public since 1999.

The Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross are now synonymous with films and television. They have been used for films including Skyfall (2011/12) and Paddington (2013), and TV’s 24 (2014).

Check out www.ltmuseum.co.uk/whats-on/hidden-london/charing-cross. Right now, they are still some tickets for sale. But, they will sell out fast!

Edinburgh Waverley railway station ✅

I of course, ticked off Edinburgh Waverley railway station a long, long time ago! But I’ve just been sorting out photos! While having a wee look, back at East Coast Trains, when they use to run the most trains on the ECML!
