title Spider Webs, and 70000 Britannia at Liverpool Street, Brome and London - 10th October 2012 intro It's a misty Sunday morning, and the dew has picked out a million spider webs all around the garden. Then, on an otherwise-normal twice-weekly commute in to London for work, there's an actual steam engine waiting on Platform 5 at Liverpool Street station, packed with people on some sort of nostalgia trip. It's totally worth being ten minutes late in to the office to see and hear the train - BR Standard Class 7 70000 "Britannia" - leave the station. It's under the low-ceilinged Broadgate end of the station, and whilst it waits, smoke billowing out of the stack is trapped and flows strangely across the platform roof. But that's nothing compared to the noise when it sets off, which is similarly confined and amplified and is immense. imgp6424 A back-lit dewey spider web imgp6427 A shelf of random books in the office imgp6428 Harry peers out from his activity pod imgp6429 Fred does a cheesy pose with Harry imgp6433 Harry surveys Fred's railway from his booth imgp6445 Heavy dew-drops on a web imgp6447 Boris - Stripey Cat - sits on a car imgp6450 Drops of water on a car wing imgp6452 Another wet spider web imgp6454 The mist over the side field imgp6457 A dandelion grows out of a rusty down pipe imgp6458 The chemical works near Stowmarket station imgp6460 A collection of Class 57 locos at Stowmarket imgp6461 70000 Britannia on Platform 5 at Liverpool Street imgp6478 Smoke is trapped under the low ceiling imgp6485 The noise of the departing train is immense imgp6488 A rake of Mark 1 coaches rattles past imgp6489 Liverpool Street station, smokey like it used to be imgp6492 A photo of the kitchen, for some reason
