Brickadilly Station

Saturday 2nd July 2016, 1.05pm (day 1,773)

Brickadilly, 2/7/16

As made of Lego and pictured at “Bricktastic 2016” in Manchester, to which Joe and I accompanied Clare for our day out today — and this was very definitely her gig (for reasons that might be obvious if you have seen her own daily photo blog). She won the star prize in the raffle, too — a £170-worth Lego kit for a £2 ticket, not bad going. I like this photo of a Lego version of Manchester Piccadilly station thanks to the two guys in the background trying to get their own shot of it. I wonder if I was in the way.

Clare on Blackburn station

Saturday 14th May 2016, 11.40am (day 1,724)

Clare at Blackburn, 14/5/16

Congratulations to my parents, Ian and Angela Whitworth, on being married an amazing 50 years today: 14th May 1966 saw them hitched in Dukinfield, Cheshire, so today was their Golden wedding anniversary. But the picture of the day has to be this one of my gorgeous wife chilling out on platform 2 of Blackburn station while we waited for the train to join the party this lunchtime. A good day was had by all I think.

The hi-vis team

Friday 6th May 2016, 8.40am (day 1,716)

Track team, 6/5/16

it’s the ‘men at work’ post number n+1. All credit to them though, whatever they were doing not a single train through Hebden Bridge station was late this morning, and we have eight an hour in all directions.

Waiting for the London train

Friday 29th April 2016, 7.00pm (day 1,709)

Leeds station, 29/4/16

The pattern of photos on this blog is a simple reflection of my life. So as I spend a healthy proportion of my time in railway stations, there are a lot of photos of railway stations. Two in a row with this one and its nice lines and patterns. Like this woman Clare and I too were waiting for the evening train to London, in our case for a night out. I do have a social life you know.

Station subway

Thursday 28th April 2016, 3.05pm (day 1,708)

Subway, 28/4/16

I just like the lines of redness, sliding down the stairs until they spill out into the kid’s coat.

Friday morning, Leeds station

Friday 8th April 2016, 8.50am (day 1,688)

Leeds station, 8/4/16

Another trip down South, meaning another morning change of trains at Leeds station — so many shots have been taken here. I like the general pinkness of this shot and the everyday stance of the two human subjects. Mundane it may be, but attractive, I think.

Oxenhope station waiting room

Friday 1st April 2016, 3.15pm (day 1,681)

Waiting room, 1/4/16

The last train of the day (on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway) has gone already — we are waiting here for a bus, not a train, the weather was far too grim to wait outside. Joe’s face on this shot amuses me.

Relax, the weekend is here

Thursday 24th March 2016, 6.05pm (day 1,673)

Tod station, 24/3/16

A day early too. We all need a break — me, him and indeed the trains, which stop running into Manchester for the next 10 days, just for the hell of it really. Who cares: I’m now off work until the 4th April. Happy Easter.

King’s Cross station

Tuesday 22nd March 2016, 1.45pm (day 1,671)

King's Cross, 22/3/16

Why do I keep taking photos of this building (see also here and here, to identify but two others)? Because I like it, it is fine architecture and great public space.

On St. Pancras station

Friday 26th February 2016, 7.30pm (day 1,646)

Lady, St Pancras, 26/2/16

Waiting out our train connection at the subterranean St. Pancras Thameslink station and I passed the time taking pictures of people on the opposite platform. Voyeuristic maybe but this was the best picture of the day.
