Scaffolding has come and gone and come again at Hebden Bridge station over the last few weeks — but there never seems to be anyone actually working on or around it.

Crossing paths
Tuesday 5th May 2015, 8.00am (day 1,349)
Another trip to London. This was taken at Waterloo station — the busiest railway station in Britain by number of passengers — these two were just part of the throng, but I like the way they’ve been captured in relative isolation.
Blackbird at the station
Tuesday 28th April 2015, 7.45am (day 1,342)
I went all the way to London and back today for no immediately obvious reason thanks to someone cancelling a meeting at the last minute. Basically I did a 10-hour round trip to have lunch in the Parcel Yard at King’s Cross. So here’s none of that. Instead, let’s feature this blackbird who was looking suspiciously at me at Hebden Bridge station this morning.
King’s Cross
Thursday 23rd April 2015, 9.35am (day 1,337)
This isn’t the first photo of the atrium at King’s Cross to appear on here and I doubt it’ll be the last. As I said to my colleague yesterday, the rebuilding was done so well that it has become a place where I actually choose to spend time, happily arriving comfortably early for a train.
Platform 12, Leeds station
Tuesday 24th March 2015, 7.55am (day 1,307)
Another work trip to London, and as on the last occasion I did this (Feb 27th), the changeover at Leeds station proves far more photographically fruitful than the capital itself. I’m very happy with this picture — one of those occasions where not only did the shot turn out pretty much exactly as hoped, but I got it first go, too.
Tom at the station
Monday 9th March 2015, 7.55am (day 1,292)
Taking shots in tolerably good morning light to pass the time waiting for my train in to Manchester, it was only later, after uploading, that I realised this chap ambling down the platform was my next-door neighbour Tom (who also works at the university). And so starts another week for both of us. But the mornings are getting lighter and this is never a bad time of year.
Platform 9, Leeds station
Friday 27th February 2015, 8.45am (day 1,282)
Pictured as I made my way down to London for an afternoon’s work today. The last time — for now — that this journey can be done on a publicly-owned train, a service which was so good that it raised millions and millions for the treasury, which is why the morons that run this country have sold it off as of this weekend.
On platform 2
Monday 3rd November 2014, 8.00am (day 1,166)
Another beautiful morning, which we are becoming quite used to. When the light hits Hebden Bridge station right, it’s worth hanging around for — this train was going to Manchester, but for the sake of an extra 10 minutes until the next one, I stayed and got the shot.
Rebuilding Victoria
Friday 10th October 2014, 8.45am (day 1,142)
More a documentary photo today than any claims to artistic quality. This is where they’re currently at with the rebuilding of Manchester Victoria station. The tracks are the Metrolink (tram) line, still working (you can see a tram in the background) but the stop is closed. So the commuters can trundle through and watch lots and lots of men hanging about while dressed from head to toe in fluorescent orange.
Platform 1, Hebden Bridge station
Tuesday 2nd September 2014, 8.40am (day 1,104)
Sometimes the shot is just a consequence of being stood in the right spot at the right time, isn’t it? And you wait ages for a photogenic plastic bag to come along, then there’s two in two days…
