Phwoar. Would you just LOOK at the spandrels on THAT. (By which I mean of the iron and glass canopies on Skipton rly station, designed by Trubshaw for the Midland Railway. Long-time fan, here.)

Today the arrival of #NaoSantaMaria in London was giving *serious* Monty Python Accountan-sea vibes. But it did feel unfair to ask if the Crimson Permanent Assurance crew was aboard, as even on this replica Columbus ship, NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition. (It’s here all month*, open for tours)

Bluesky? Not at titting sillyoclock in London today it wasn’t

London at titting sillyoclock looking pinkish today. A police boat is about to ruin the nice calm Thames

As we hurtle north, autumn seemingly surrenders and Home Counties hills fall away. Sun flickers and flashes through the carriage catching faces, drawing them westward. For a lingering moment, an entire train is lost in thought. Then, we tilt. Darkness falls, & we return to our lives. #TravelByTrain

#TravelByTrain –the “I’m so proud of my friends” edition. Yesterday, a friend since we were kids working at Bekonscot Model Village arranged for me to join him at work: in the cab of 50008 “Thunderer” across southern England. He’s living his dream & he generously shared it with me. Thank you, Mikey.
