I waited on platform 1 for
ages, hoping to see the two LNER locomotives leave but finally
gave up and crossed over to platform 6. I heard a chime whistle
and looked up to see the A4 racing through the platform. the
effect it had on waiting passengers was amazing, one lady grabbed
her camera phone while the lady in red to the left punched the
air and then applauded the scene. At least two people were pointing
the engines out to their children. I have to say that the sight
of the two locomotives hurtling through the station was distinctly
surreal. 10/04/2012 |
