It's a rainy day (again) in London so maybe no-one is sitting down on a wet bench. HBM to everyone. Have a great start to the new week.

The impressive platform running in board at Lydney Junction on the Forest of Dean Railway. HBM to everyone & have a good start to the week.

From under the shelter of platform 4's awning Cross-Country Trains Class 170 diesel multiple unit 170107 is seen entering Leicester Midland station from the north with 1N59 The 14.27 Stansted Airport to Birmingham New Street. Swain Street bridge passes over the whole railway scene.

Paris Gare du Nord 2-8-2T 141TC12 departs September 1969. A second 141TC simmers in the adjacent platform on the left. All the atmosphere of a main line capital terminus. With the services out of Gare de la Bastille these were the last suburban steam trains in France. Quite a change from the Eurostars that arrive at these platforms today. My girlfriend of the time studied French at Aberystwyth University & was in Paris for an induction course at the Sorbonne to prepare for her year as a teaching assistant in Verdun. While she studied I photographed. She obviously took the course very seriously as she ended up marrying a frenchman! Still I took my photography seriously too & I still have a liking for french steam, paticularly these modern looking tanks.
