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.

Blue-liveried Peak D186 of Gateshead (later Class 46 46049) stands with other green-liveried diesels at the north end of the depot. Unfortunately the roof top of the engine is not visible (missing on negative). Just visible to the left is D6800 (TI). Behind the 46 is Class 47 D1110 and Class 25 D5177 (both York engines)

A bit of contrast and some removal of unwanted lights, but this was mostly in camera, involving a tripod, remote, and flashlight.

We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help children create their own artistic robots. This class for grades 4-5 is taking place at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are learning how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board.
This photo set covers our our first classes, when students designed their own robots, as well as a magical world for them to live in. They imagined a future space city connected to earth by a long elevator, and populated by robots and friendly demons. They named it Foodville: a peaceful world filled with food, including soda fountains, cars powered by slushies, with cotton candy clouds and a sea of apple juice.
Students created animated characters designed to make their world a better place: two police bots, a care bot and a friendly devil. They can throw marshmallows and cotton balls, to insure a life of ‘everlasting fun.’ In coming weeks, we will laser cut wooden figures based on their designs, and they will assemble their bots, make them move, then decorate them, give them a story, and present a robot show to their friends and families.
Each student received their own robot kit, which they will learn to assemble, control and program. They will then take their completed robot home with them, after the class ends. For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I have created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features at a lower cost.

As a first impression, The seats are soft but awkward to sit on.
But we should learn to be grateful as there are trains out there with solid steel seats.
Class 170, 170510, in the new(ish), West Midlands Railway livery, departs Herefords platform 4, with the 09.40 to Birmingham New Street. 2nd November 2018.
Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. Type JT42CWR Class 66 diesel electric locomotive 66541 heads the daily 10:28 Freightliner 4M88 Felixstowe South- Crewe Basford Hall intermodal southbound through Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line.
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.
