Well, it’s been a pleasant day make all the better thanks to serendipity. I travelled to London for work only to find that two friends were there at the same time! Greg Ryan from Irish Railways was attending a Railway Benevolent Fund board meeting whilst SWT Driver Steve Upton was passing through and spotted a message that I was in town on Facebook. So, after doing the jobs I had the chance to meet the pair of them for a beer along with another acquaintance and RBF member – Alan Marshall. It was a perfect day for it too – the weather was superb.

I was in London to get some shots of the new First Class waiting room at Kings Cross for RAIL magazine. I won’t say too much about the place as you’ll be able to see them in the magazine, but the choice of colour scheme is perhaps best described as ’brave’....

Before catching my train this evening I had chance to grab a few more shots of the changes at Kings Cross which have been loaded onto this site thanks to Grand Central’s free onboard wifi. If you have a minute, take a look.
