Taking the train to Edinburgh

I recently visited Edinburgh for a conference. As I was in London I caught the train from Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley.

It was a damp early evening when I arrived at Kings Cross.

Went to platform one to get on my train.

The seat I was booked into was a table seat by the window. There was four of us on the table, so it was quite cramped.

I was quite impressed with the speed of the train, taking just four hours and twenty minutes from platform to platform.

Arrived at Edinburgh Waverley.

Walked along the platform to the overbridge.

Kings Cross

When I was in London I visited the area north of Kings Cross railway station. This area was redeveloped a few years ago now, but still looks really nice.

Then and Now – Kings Cross Railway Station

This is a regular series of blogs about photographs of the same place taken years apart.

I quite like those Then and Now comparison photographs that you see in books or on the Twitter or Facebook.

I always think I should give them a go. However what I have started to notice is that I have been doing Then and Now photographs unintentionally over the years and have been taking photographs of the same thing or place from the same view or perspective years apart.  The first instance of this that I noticed was in May 2019 when I went to  Manchester.

It only really came to my attention that I was doing this a lot, when checking the Places function on the Apple Photos Mac App that I could see I had taken the same photograph of the same thing just years apart!

I took this view in July 2016 of Kings Cross Railway Station in London having noticed that they removed the front ticket office and as a result you could see the Victorian brick structure of the station behind it.

And this was (almost) the same view in January 2018.
