Just travelled out of Liverpoool Street Station on Saturday for the
first time for many years. What a great station that is. I wonder if
Paddington will so well restored? Anyway on leaving the initial
tunnels, on the far right hand side we saw a disused platform - I
guess this served the East London Line tube when it used to run into
Liverpool Street - and it is now used for the overhead catenary masts.
But then just a bit further on - under a series of arches - we noticed
a number of old stone carvings dumped behind a fence. They looked very
old, one looked as though it was the top of a church spire. What are/
were they and where did they come from? CJB.

IMHO The rebuilding of Liverpool St was the excellent. The result is
the finest of London Terminals. One would, that this had been used as
the rebuilding example for Paddington. Brunel's terminal should be
restored. However, the carbuncle on the suburban side should be
replaced in the same sympathetic manner as Liverpool Street. The
building over Liverpool St's suburban platforms brings income, but
fits its surroundings well.

For a '60s train spotter, the old LS station was much more fun!
