To the end of the line

Above: A slim little book bought cheap from a stall (although not as cheap as its original cover price). It's the story of a half-forgotten railway that still runs (a shadow of its former self) through dingy parts of north London. Possibly the Pooters would have known it in its heyday.



Above: I looked at Camden Road station in the afternoon sun. The Ventian Gothic architecture is much-admired (everythign about the little railway was uniquely designed - locomotives, staff uniforms, tickets etc). If I hadn't had to get back to work I would have liked to have bought a ticket and travelled to the end of the line (which is no longer the magnificent terminus of Broad Street - destroyed in the '80s in an act of vandalism).
