title A Trainey Sort of Week, Liverpool Street, City of London - 3rd April 2014 intro It's a miscellaneous round-up of another week ridin' the rails from Diss to London and back. At Diss, DJ's station café, source of many bacon rolls over the last three years, has closed down. Meanwhile, in London, it's the week of the "great smog", as south-easterly winds and factory fumes from Europe combine with sand blown in from the Sahara and, apparently, additional Nitrogen Dioxide thanks to an increase in Diesel use (the fuel of Satan) to create "level 10" pollution, which means it's definitely time to evacuate the cities, flee for the hills or live in bunkers, etc. imgc2467 Fred's built a great Lego model of St. George imgc2470 Derelict factory buildings at Brantham, near Manningtree imgc2471 Derelict building at Brantham imgc2476 Lunchtime at work is getting a little crowded imgc2478 At Ipswich, Class 86 loco 86501, built in 1966 imgc2479 The ancient Class 86 at Ipswich imgc2483 The sight of an empty cafe at Diss station imgc2487 The almost-obsolete CRT monitors on platform 1 imgc2488 DJ's coffee shop is no more imgc2489 The train snakes its way towards Bethnal Green imgc2490 Yack graffiti on a wall imgc2491 Graffiti on a railway bridge imgc2492 Runch in action imgc2493 A smoggy City of London, on "pollution alert" day imgc2497 Another Runch tag imgc2498 Welcome to the underworld imgc2499 Possibly-derelict buildings imgc2500 A group of signalling-equipment boxes imgc2501 Nosher's train passes a Class 315 tin can imgc2502 Trains get close as they pass under a bridge imgc2503 Crossrail continues outside Liverpool Street imgc2504 A bike with a large trailer load imgc2505 Class 90 90013 "The Evening Star" gets a make-over imgc2508 A bridge over the railway imgc2510 Open doors into the mystery buildings imgc2511 The best shot yet into Liverpool Street imgc2512 Shiny spaghetti rails into Liverpool Street imgc2513 Litter and some City dude on the Bank of England imgc2514 The former Gladwell and Co Picture Dealers imgc2516 Cycle Superhighway 7 - part of the route to work imgc2518 Looking towards the Swiss Re Gherkin imgc2519 Andrew is fixing a new finial on the Cornwallis imgc2520 Ben's on the Cornwallis's roof imgc2521 Fred legs it up the drive imgc2522 A derelict-but-lived in house near Gaze's imgc2523 The four wind turbines lost in the pollution haze
