I headed down to Fulham today for a work meeting, taking in Putney Bridge Underground Station on the District Line, the River Cafe outside was excellent. I'll be back down a few miles away tomorrow at Loftus Road.

Entrance to Manchester Piccadilly train station on a clear bright morning, with light scattered clouds

Early start, and a nice clear morning here in Manchester for the first of two trips to this part of London in as many days.

I took advantage of a recent work trip to take a few photographs around Cheltenham Spa Train Station, run by GWR.

The main station is a striking white building, and though the facilities are limited to a coffee shop on the Southbound platform and a conservatory of a waiting room, there is an excellent GCM coffee shop over the road from the station.

Growing up in Walsall, Birmingham New Street was the gateway to the rest of the world.

Wrapping up one of the most miserable and depressing weeks of my entire career with a relaxing day trip out to see a bus stop in Hounslow.

I couldn’t get on the coach, so train from Preston.

Have been looking forward to seeing this stadium since it opened.

A few photos from my unnecessary changeover at Winchester, on my recent visit to Eastleigh. I should have just got off at Southampton Airport Parkway instead!

A few images of Southampton Airport Parkway train station, from my visit to see David and Karen a few weeks ago.

I always forget that Southampton Airport Parkway is a much better connected way of visiting Eastleigh by rail, than Eastleigh station itself.

No coffee till Reading.

Quick changeover at Birmingham International on outward leg of trip to Eastleigh.

Looking across the platforms at Birmingham International station on my way down to the South coast.

Leaving Burnley for the day to catch up with a friend.

The 04:30 start was tough. I suspect my hour on Zwift at 23:45 to maintain my training streak will be tougher still.

Manchester Piccadilly.

Arriving back at Preston Station last night after a week working away in London. Found it quite disorienting arriving on platform 4/5, and further down the platform.

Waiting for the 07:21 train into Leeds from Burnley Manchester Road this morning.

I’d lived in Burnley for almost 5 years before I realised I could actually get a direct train into Leeds.

It’s been a wee while since I stood here.

East India Wharf - I always stay out here when working in the city…. Just a pleasant overground ride in to Tower Gateway.

Beautiful building. All the more so for being left untarnished by illuminated reindeer or any other such flashing religious winter festival graffiti pollution.
