Someone just reminded me of Platform ¾ at Kings Cross where Barry Trotter and his pals caught the Faghags express..........I can't remember seeing it for ages now, and I'm there almost everyday! here's my sprogs at this famous location!
#Frames - The elegant designs of platform beds provide a touch of unexpected elegance, serving primarily as functional pieces of art in many contemporary homes. The platform bed frames is different from the traditional style of the bed frame in a couple of remarkable ways. On one hand, it eliminates the...
A platform in the Gulf of Mexico just off the coast of Louisiana. There are thousands of them, they produce a quarter of the nation's oil and gas and employ thousands of people with high paying jobs.

"Excuse me, can I ask you what you're doing"?
I can't recall the amount of times I've heard this question when out and about with my camera mounted on my tripod. The answer is fairly obvious it would seem, but this time the question came with an undercurrent of school headmistress. It seems you need to be granted permission to take photos in York station, so, off I trundled to the station office to collect my visitor's pass and I swiftly continued with my photography experiments.
I wanted to capture movement. Not just a snapshot. A different perspective on things as most photographers do. You have to get over the embarassment of being the one standing out from the crowd, not conforming to the norm and appearing in unusual places. So I crouched on platform 3 and waited for the trains to arrive.
On reflection, I think the only person that paid any interest in what I was doing (apart from the school headmistress) is the man on the far left of the frame.
Thanks for taking the time to view, comment on or favourite any of my photos. I hope you too can find those obscure places to exist in pursuit of your passion.

Following our failure to make 37101 on the 1J11 we had to think on our feet & that meant rushing back to the taxi which luckily was still waiting outside the station at Barnsley & directing him to Sheffield. This would enable us to make a DMU to Worksop thus intercepting Eastfield's vacuum-only 37196 returning on the 1M54 1320 Skegness-Manchester Piccadilly. I wonder if the little lad watching in awe from the left hand platform as the big blue monster growls past is still a railway enthusiast today? Scarily he will be in his mid 30s now.

6th April 1972
Troll A is the world’s biggest natural gas platform, built between 1992 and 1995. From the seabed to the tip of the flare boom it measures 472 meters or 1548 feet. If it stood onshore it would surpass New York’s Empire State Building by almost 30 meters! While it is currently situated 65 kilometers (40 miles) off the coast of Norway, it was constructed in the safety of Vats fjord and then towed to the Troll gas field. It is the tallest and, at 656,000 tons, the heaviest structure ever moved. Since it started operation in 1996, the platform was extended several times to be able to further exploit the draining supplies of natural gas and crude oil under the North Sea, extracting around 100,000 m3 or 3,300,000 ft3 per day, together with Troll B and Troll C.
The model consists of 3,150 pieces, is built in scale 1:650, and features a blue whale for scale.
The brand new Rescue Platform 20 is now in service! The department’s initiative to enhance public safety led to the formation of the third rescue company dedicated to the 4th battalion, or ARFF battalion. Like the other Rescue Platforms, RP20 is staffed and operated by members of Rescue 20. As the only aerial devices with a bucket, rescue platforms play a special role on the fireground to assist with ventilation, rescue trapped individuals, or provide an elevated master stream. A recent addition to the rescue platform spec includes a deck gun mounted on the driver’s side to help discharge large volumes of water to contain fast growing fires. A triple combination is required to supply the deck gun or elevated platform since rescue platforms do not have a pump or tank. However, Rescue Platform 20 is unique due to the fact that it carries a 60 gal CAFS unit capable of producing 1200 gal of finished foam product to help put out small fires within its district. Rescue platforms are also assigned on technical rescue incidents where the bucket can be used for rescue operations. While these trucks carry the standard truck company tools such as saws, hooks, and fans, rescue platforms also carry additional struts, larger airbags, and special meters.
