On 28/09 I went by train to Scarborough and on the 29th I delivered 2 training sessions in a local college. After that I went with my colleague by car to York and took the train from there back to London. On the 30th of September I posted some of the pictures I took in Scarborough, on this post are some pictures of York station and two small tales of nice encounters on the way home.
Entry lobby of York station, entirely given over to commercial activities
Northern Rail, all over the north of England
Nice train shed, in the olden days money was spent on stations
More Northern Rail
Northern Rail operates an extensive network of local trains across the north of England. See also previous postings on Leeds and Manchester.
And the last picture of a Northern Rail train
On the way from York to London I sat next to a young Malaysian Chinese woman, with whom I had a very nice conversation. Do not think that we discussed philosophy, religion and life in general all the way through, but we talked both about serious subjects and about lighter stuff.
I love meeting people of all backgrounds !
After arriving at King’s Cross I took the Circle Line to Paddington and Heathrow Connect to Southall. As I caught it just before departure I entered the rear end of the train and walked towards the front through the train. Halfway through I met with two young Midlands Singhs, sat down with them and had a very nice talk with them.
