Roaring past the office
In the final days of Eurostar operations on the third rail into Waterloo International station, I captured a view of a Class 373 unit rumbling over the road bridge in Black Prince Road Lambeth. The red brick building is Southbank House (today China Works), the former head office of Royal Doulton Pottery. It was also my place of work at the time of this photograph. Our office suite was on the second floor, and my desk by the window was almost within touching distance of the passing Eurostar trains. On occasion, the trains would halt directly outside; the noise coming from the power car was deafening, especially when we needed to have the windows open in the absence of air conditioning.
Just after the Eurostar terminus relocated to St. Pancras International, we relocated to an air-conditioned suite one floor above.
