Reflections

Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in U.K. & Ireland! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

John, lovely pic. I love the reflections you've captured so well. Nostalgia says though that true Southern Region trains had those swing-door coaches that made them so recogisable long after the other regions had moved on. This modern British train could be anyone's, anywhere --- even including our "own" Gautrain if it wasn't for the old station building.

No hassles at all, although I read in the railway press about lots of problems and I have posted a few of those news articles in the past. I wasn't a serious photographer spending hours at the end of the platform with big lenses and tripods, just a passenger with a small digital pocket camera taking quick snaps between connections. I did remember to turn off the automatic flash.
