Travelling and train spotting!

A very different set of pictures for me today, doubt there will be another like it for a while! Skip and Olivia came to the station to set me on my journey home, had plenty of time as I had to go across the bridge to one of the other platforms. Had to get through the barrier first and with a little advice from a rain worker managed to get through using the phone. Getting more tech savvy, very slowly! As I got to the lift I spotted this train about to pull out.
Rather fabulous artwork. I had an hour on Doncaster station so stopped for a drink before checking want platform I needed to be on. I was quite excited that I had to go to Platform 0, had never been to that one before and you have to go over a bridge as it is out on its own a bit away from the other platforms. The bridge is a bit like an airport walkway.
Took a couple of photos through the windows, just happened to be a train going through.
Took a couple more of a long goods train going by.


The train to Hull was fine, I had bought a book of short stories by Anthony Doerr and was really engrossed in the first one, it is called Memory Wall, and really interesting. I didn’t have too long to wait for the bus once I got to the stop and managed to get my usual seat at the back. I had seen this painting on a building from the bus before but we had never stopped near enough. The lights changed just at the right time today.
Tina was in and had the kettle on when I got home which was nice. We caught up on the weeks events. I have unpacked and went out to check the trees, but feeling quite weary so haven’t done much else. Pandora isn’t too friendly at the moment, maybe she will keep sleeping with 
Darren and Tina. May be an early night tonight.

  1. Definitely different pics today. But as they say a change is as good as a rest. Like the first one with the spitfires on the train. What is it about Spitfires, they’re just great things?
    The walkway bridge looks a bit wonky. It’s just the angles, but definitely wonky! Looks a bit deserted. I thought the stations and trains would be very busy at the minute, but it appears not, which is very good for your travels.
    You could become a train spotter/photographer nerd. You’ve got some good ones to start your collection 😊
    Nice that Tina had the kettle on ready for your homecoming. Bet you were ready for a cuppa.
    I’ve no doubt Pandora will be your friend before it’s time for bed.

  2. A train spotting day definitely made a change. I usually see some real trainspotters when I am on my travels.
    I was ready for a cuppa, surprising how tired you feel when you have been travelling.
