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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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.
George at York station
Friday 19th February 2016, 8.20pm (day 1,639)
This is our friend George who came to visit tonight, here we are waiting for the train back home after time in York. I like this shot because of her blue hair nearly perfectly framed in the huge roof canopy of this famous old railway station.
Freight train
Thursday 11th February 2016, 8.00am (day 1,631)
Still occasionally to be seen on small, provincial British railways. This monster bombed through Hebden Bridge station slightly in advance of the 8:05 to Manchester, headed for unknown places.
Victoria, platform 4
Monday 1st February 2016, 12.05pm (day 1,621)
Manchester Victoria station is much improved by the recent renovations, but actually this picture is taken in the non-reconstructed part; squatting under the [insert name of current corporate sposnor] Arena, this was a rare burst of light. Nicely illuminated these guys waiting for the 12:whatever to Wigan, though. And was I arriving in the city late, or going home early? I’m not saying, Possibly both…
Outside Victoria station
Tuesday 8th December 2015, 10.40am (day 1,566)
I wasn’t taking a photo of this guy, but just of the scene. He then stopped walking, turned straight into the shot and lit his cigarette. Sometimes it just works out.
