London
London Capital of the United Kingdom, Essential Hub of the UK's Rail Passenger Network. Sanctuary of the weekday Commuter or foreign tourist but a hAven for Rail enthusiasts from around the world as well. A few shots of my various travels to Various areas of London. Although there is not a lot of shots as I did more spotting than photography in those days there is still ample to look at. All I can say about these shots is that they were possibly done with in a few years of each other.

3 types of Livery in one shot and it was moving as well. AN Intercity Liveried class 73 next to a Large Logo 73 and then finally a rather recently out of the paintshed Class 33/1 in BR Blue Livery with a rather thick Orange OHLE Cant rail stripe next to the roof.
