| Well it seems that wherever i go i am a purveror of bad luck. The Routemasters have all but gone, Arsenal upped sticks and moved 500 yards now another last. Today was my very last trip on the North Woolwich line. This line is the oldest line in London and dates back to 1840. Saturday the 9th sees the last day of Operation. As today was my last trip i decided to get a couple of pictures as is usual when i do a last trip the weather decided to through a spanner in the works.
I would like to thank the kind enthsiasts who took the pictures with me in the shots. |
