transport

another run away toy car.

sign at St Paul’s tube station. note the cross in lights on the ceiling. it’s a sign …

it’s a trolley on a trolley watched in the distance by an old lady with a trolley.

i’ve been getting a fair amount of visitors looking for steam / fuel cell bus pictures. so here’s one i took last week of a steam bus going under Tower Bridge.

here is michelle‘s first car. she looks very pleased with it. and so she should be.
but i see trouble ahead. look at the number plate. it’s one of those personalised ones like they have over there and it says “for sale”.
that’s going to be no end of trouble.
it’s a bit being called “ivor funnyname”. everytime someone asked you what you were called you’d tell them and they’d say “that’s ok, tell me anyway” and so on.

long distance trains are a bit of strange thing in the UK. our trains generally don’t go between countries like they on the continent. the worst that can happen in the UK is that you get inconvenienced a bit.
but the eurostar makes this sport a little more exciting. get the wrong train and you end up in paris rather than brussels. get to brussels and get on the wrong train and you can end up anywhere.
luckily i made it to Ghent safely.

spotted first thing sunday morning on the street of stockholm. it’s a carry car.

can’t compare with Maxx’s fantastic shots. oh for a digital SLR !

these new steam powered buses are good fun. here is a view of one from the window of a 1st floor brazilian cafe where the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent and cheap.
