Waterloo Millenium Gardens provides a brilliant ringside seat


Absolutely. Makes a pleasant change when a major bit of engineering
work like this takes place in a location with such good public viewing
access.

Thanks for sharing your photos, if anyone craves even more (including
some close-ups of the carriage undersides as they were craned
overhead), I've put the good ones from my collection online as well at

Thanks for your pics too.

Amazing how dirty the car ends are. I guess the train wash does not
manage to reach in to the gap between cars, assuming there is even a
train wash down there. But you'd think they would do these bits by
hand every couple of months!
