Can't say I know the area, but I'll take a stab in the dark and say Farringdon sidings  |

Don't think its farringdon. theres no retaining wall on the right side, because of the FCC line to Barbican and Snow Hill Tunnel...

Answer:Well done, this is looking south from High Street Kensington. TOK and TMBA both sent me the correct answer by PM, and gave more detail than I had about the answer! This photograph (original below) is by Aspect, who will give some more details, such as the date of the picture and where he took it from.

*wonders how me managed to blank out the op on 5701* Quite easy really - if you look closely it is a mirror image of the offside window (and the same applies to the other train as well ;D |

Sorry for the slight delay in coming back on the questions raised ! I took the picture from the south end of Platform 2 at High Street Kensington. It was taken on 2/6/05 at 16.08 My camera is a normal digi (not an SLR) but it does have a x8 optical zoom ( I'd certainly recomend a large optical zoom !) The settings (selected by the camera) were f 3.4, 1/160 at ISO 200 The original picture did have Destination Blinds on both trains (Chris is obviously muddling the originals again  ;D ;D ...or perhaps i took them out  not sure now) However even I was bemused as to how he had eliminated the T/Op when i saw he'd used my picture !!!! I think that coveres the Q's raised  I rather liked the pattern of pointwork in that picture ;D |
