This vehicle began life with Yorkshire Traction, passing to Stagecoach, then Huddersfield Bus Co, and now with Yorkshire Tiger, a wholly Arriva owned company. It most recently wore Centrebus livery, which has been partially removed with the overpainting of the blue skirt into orange, a full version of which has become the Yorkshire Tiger livery. Whether this bus will survive long enough to get a full repaint we'll have to wait and see...
This is the travelator at London Waterloo underground station.
The travelator is 140 metres long, connecting the Northern and Bakerloo line platforms with the Jubilee line platforms.Waterloo's Jubilee line station opened in November 1999
This is a Magic Lantern slide titled Westminster Bridge, over 122 years after its manufacture I am able to correct this mistake and say that this is not Westminster Bridge, it is Waterloo Bridge looking towards the south bank. It shows two Police Constables, one is walking towards the camera after dealing with some sort of incident with his colleague who is apparently still dealing with it whatever it was. The Constable is wearing the 1864 pattern tunic with eight buttons which was replaced in 1897 with the five button and two breast pocket tunic, so the photograph was taken before 1897. He is probably from Bow Street Police Station which was then part of “E” Division, the other officer may be from “L” Division south of the river based at Kennington Police Station. The famous Shot Tower on the south bank can be seen top centre, it was built in 1826 and was the centre piece of the 1951 Festival of Britain, in the early 1960s it was demolished to make way for the Queen Elizabeth Hall. The buildings right middle belong to the Barclay Perkins Lion Brewery. The bridge was designed by John Rennie and opened on the 18th June 1817 by the Prince Regent accompanied by the Duke of Wellington, it was a private venture by the Strand Bridge Company who sponsored three enabling Acts of Parliament the last of which specified that the Bridge should be named the Waterloo Bridge in remembrance of the Duke’s great Victory over Napoleon two years earlier. The company had wanted to name the bridge, the Strand Bridge. The bridge was a toll bridge until 1877 when it was taken over by the Metropolitan Board of Works under the provisions of the Metropolitan Toll Bridges Act, 1877. I like the cameo of the conductor of the single deck bus perched precariously on the small ledge on the back of the bus.
Remember the 158s from Waterloo to the likes of South Wales? On 16 April 2004, 158825 in its Ginsters pasties advertising livery is seen at Waterloo on the 1217 to Milford Haven.
10.3.2017. With nineteen platforms already in constant use, the extension built originally for Eurostar is now being readied for extra suburban train use. Network Rail is spending £800 million to improve services in and out of the station. Britain's busiest station will then have 24 platforms!
Waterloo Village is a restored 19th-century canal town in Byram Township, Sussex County (west of Stanhope) in northwestern New Jersey, United States. The community was approximately the half-way point in the roughly 102-mile (165 km) trip along the Morris Canal, which ran from Jersey City (across the Hudson River from Manhattan, New York) to Phillipsburg, New Jersey, (across the Delaware River from Easton, Pennsylvania). Waterloo possessed all the accommodations necessary to service the needs of a canal operation, including an inn, a general store, a church, a blacksmith shop (to service the mules on the canal), and a watermill. For canal workers, Waterloo's geographic location would have been conducive to being an overnight stopover point on the two-day trip between Phillipsburg and Jersey City.
It is currently an open-air museum in Allamuchy Mountain State Park. As part of the State Park, it is open to the public from sunrise to sunset. The village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Waterloo bridge occasionally rewards those who walk over it with the most wonderful light. For once I had camera in hand and enough time to wait for the light to pick out St Paul's. Ray Davies of The Kinks wrote a song about the magic of a Waterloo Sunset a little while back.
The London-Holyhead road project was Telfords greatest project (according to him). It was the biggest national road scheme since the Romans.
The Waterloo Bridge at Betws-y-coed was completed soon after the famous Brexit battle in 1815. This is the view of the river Dee from the bridge

159102 on platform 7 at Waterloo with the 13:50 departure for Yeovil Pen Mill in the colourful South West trains livery, soon to change into the new drab south western railway colours no doubt. 14 October 2017
On the blocks at Waterloo on an unknown date we have Class 33 33009. As far as I remember the 62 was the Waterloo to Salisbury service but that was usually worked by 33/1's.
No date but 80's I would guess before the loco lost BR Blue livery. It was new as D6509 to Hither Green in May 1960 and withdrawn in 1993 after a collision on the Meldon Branch. It was finally cut up at Eastleigh in April 1997.

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise...

First night in paradise after an exhausting drive and we're offered a fantastic sunset...
