transport

here are 4 boats. a blue one on a grey one being pushed by a tug pulling a little one.

in context

it’s all about KPIs (key performance indicators) and targets these days isn’t it. how are you getting on with your station top trumps (little britain version here)?
this one is further down the line if you are heading in the right direction (or is that left) than this one

i saw this box in the rubbish outside a sports shop and i was quite shocked. they have exercise bikes for 4 to 8 year olds ! You can buy it here if you are interested. but don’t tell your child it was my idea.

the great thing about this bike is you can put your kid in front of the telly, give them a can of coke and chocolate bar in your nice warm house so they can get fit, instead of running around in the garden/local park.

your modern trains are much healthier than your cronky old steam trains.

today is the last day the old routemaster buses run on proper bus routes which is a shame. yesterday, to celebrate, a whole load of old routemasters were brought out of retirement to drive down the last remaining route. the ones i saw were a little bashed up and graffiti’d like this one (it was very wonky at the back).

getting the train from london to edinburgh should be one of those epic train journeys. but it wasn’t realy. but it had its moments, like this one, which is a power station with a nice field in front of it.

this is a great thing at Kings Cross station. How long would it have taken them to set this up, and how many smiles has it brought to the faces of people who pass it ?
i suspect there’s a high smile to investment ratio.

this pub has a grizzly connection to london history, but i don’t want to provide a link so i won’t.

gravity catch is a great name.

here is a boat from budapest photo’d by peter

i had to get an early train to work last thursday as there was lots to do before 9am (and then lots to do after 9am). i got to my desk by 7am, but that meant leaving home at 5.15am.
i love earliy mornings although there’s sadly no sun at this time of day most of the year which is usually rubbish for photos. but on this morning there was a real pea-souper of a fog on. unfortunately it had mostly gone by the time i got to london. so here’s a picture of a train station instead
