I walk to the front of the station, past the long and snaking lines of people waiting to check in for the Eurostar, then along the crowded and litter-strewn pavement to Euston, past the usual sights, people having breakfast in the various hotels, and homeless people sleeping in shop doorways. Welcome to Brexit Britain.
Euston is a brutalist carbuncle, which will soon be swapt away as did the neo-classical station in the 1960s. The concourse is packed with people waiting for the platforms to be announced for their trans. Most, I knew, would be waiting for the same train as I was, the half ten to Glasgow.
I had had 35 minutes to catch the train, and after the route march along the Euston Road, to stand around waiting until seven minutes before departure time, then when platform 13 was announced, there was a stampede as half the passengers moved to make their way to the slope down to the train.
Then we had to stand in line to show our tickets, and then allowed onto the platform to our 11 coach Pendalino.
I had paid upfront for a seat in 1st class, so had a reserved seat, a nice seat with a table with the huge picture window that would be my source of entertainment for the next two hours and twenty minutes.
I love travelling by train.
The doors closed on time, and we quickly accelerated out of the station, into the tunnels taking us into and through Camden, then beside the huge freight yards out of London to Watford and into the rolling countryside beyond.
All the way to Birmingham, the line shadows the older Grand Union Canal, and occasionally I could see hump-backed bridges, or waterside pubs, and all the way, narrow boats chugging along, going nowhere fast. Which the more I thought about seems a very sensible thing.
The train tilts round the sharp bends of the West Coast Main Line, through the Trent Valley, bypassing Birmingham to Stafford, then up to Crewe and Warrington.
In first class, we were fed and watered. Not with an at table meal, but a box of snacks and two passes of the coffee cart, which for two hours wasn't bad.
Next stop was Wigan; my destination.
Home of the pie.
And my home for the next 24 hours or so.

Engineered like no other car in the world
A bit of contrast and some removal of unwanted lights, but this was mostly in camera, involving a tripod, remote, and flashlight.
I Love my car

Heritage traction in B.R blue. Does it get any better? Two of the earliest Class 20s off the production line. 20007 and 20032 rest up at Llandudno Town before returning to Stoke later in the day. I remember this train picked up some really good speed along stretches of the North Wales coast and with the window open and your eyes closed it could almost have been a 40. Almost ;O/

The caged signal device on the left is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal at the other end of this platform (the up line) during bi-directional workings. The banner aspect is 'on' (the following signal is on stop/danger). When a banner repeater is 'off' (the following signal is on green/proceed) the display bar will be at 45 degrees.
