Had my last ride on the East London line around midday today. Took
some photos (without flash for the most part!) and got very nostalgic.
It will be missed


Well I am sorry to see it pass having been a regular passenger for
the last 30 years, but I am glad to see the pace at which things are
happening
at the site of the new depot, the foundations for the flyover are in a
pretty advanced state, the site has been totally transformed from the
old car pound and wasteland that it previously was.
So here's hoping we all around in 3 years time for the grand re-opening.
