(Easy) Where was I?

[Christopher J]

After a good time out on Friday night, I had to make my way home in the early hours of the morning, not wanting to night bus it all the way back to East London from Wembley, I decided to get a bus to a certain station (see pic) and wait for the tube to begin service on Saturday, where was I?

Looking over the bridge parapet on the opposite side of the road to Acton Town station looking at the east end of Ealing Common depot.

Well done A Good Cuppa, that is the correct answer.

Aww, notice all the D78's all tucked up sound asleep. Thats a good 'atmostpheric' [sp?] shot with the sky a moody blue and the lights shining in in the right places... Well done that man. You should take some of your shots and make them into a calendar! 12 Lines, [not including DLR] 12 months, one of the best for each month...?

I’ve actually thought about making a calendar with my shots, but I’d probably have to seek permission off of TfL before I go ahead with anything, as we all know, TfL enjoy to suck the fun out of anything that includes the roundel and slaughter you with their solicitor over copyright.

I suppose you could come up with some sort of agreement over proportion of sales receipts should you choose to do this. They'd probably want the biggest slice of the cake, but having looked at your pages, I must say they are truly excellent pics. There was a bar in Berlin called the Underground Bar, with the familliar logo we all know used, but at a 45 degree angle, like the dolly/shunt signals we see. Went back there last year, to find the bar renamed Buunker, still keeping on the underground angle, but not ruffelling the feathers of TfL...

So the next little question is....The first picture on the above link is actually on a Station in Porthmadog. But which station? Quite easy really.

The question has to be asked what you were doing over the "west side" at that time of day?! ;D

And why does Sir MSO want to know that?

I was at a friends birthday party and didn't leave till the early hours, the first Silverlink/B'loo from Wembley Central isn't till 05:xx and I didn't feel like standing around waiting for it, so I got a bus to Acton to wait for the first through Upminster instead, that way I also don't have to change trains in town as I can get back to Upton Park on one train.

You being you, I would have thought you'd have done an 'all nighter' at SPK or Willesden... ;D

Just round the corner from me then! All be it, i dont live in Wembley! (Thank goodness!) I dont blame you not wanting to wait around at WC, its a strange place during the day, let alone at night!

Hope you had a good night out!
