Taken in the Hidden London tour of Charing Cross's Jubilee platforms.
The Charing Cross Jubilee platforms opened in 1979, originally as a terminus to the line running from Stanmore. Before the platforms opened, a plan was developed to extend the Jubilee line onwards to Stratford; the route meant the line would pass onwards through Westminster instead, leading to the closure of the Charing Cross platforms.
The tour ran through the Jubilee platforms, the ventilation shaft, through to a spoil tunnel that extended out under Trafalgar Square to beyond the fourth plinth (this tunnel led to a shaft where the spoil from digging the station and tunnels was removed).
Oriente Station Lisbon Portugal - design Santiago Calatrava - 1993 - 1998
Going beyond the competition brief, Calatrava proposed piercing the embankment to establish a link between the previously separated areas of the Olivais District. The existing Avenida Berlin, perpendicular to the embankment, was extended to the river's edge. The new Reciproca Avenida, a matching but slightly oblique avenue, was built on the northern edge to establish an important east-west axis penetrating the Expo site. This solution provided clear and easy pedestrian access among the various transport modes, while serving as the ordering principle for the entire proposal.
Creation of the two flanking avenues, which define the boundaries of the pedestrian precinct, was a grand gesture involving the elevation of the station and its displacement to the north of the originally designated site. The proposal thus ventured into the realm of urban planning: a decision that not only won the support of the Expo organizers but also of the city's planning authorities, who up to that point had not been involved. The strategic order of the design helped to achieve the aim of giving the Olivais District a function beyond Expo.
Calatrava placed the platforms on a bridge structure, comprised of five parallel rows of twinned arches. The bus terminal is located immediately to the west of the station, and a complex of commercial buildings is arranged around a plaza to the east. This plaza provides access to a shopping mall, which, along with ticket counters and platform access, occupies a multi-level hall directly beneath the platforms.
So many cables, posts and so on to keep the trains going. Disruption by rail yesterday (as usual). However, it didn't spoil a fun day I spent with www.flickr.com/photos/sasastro/ in Ely.

Platform 2B at Dovey Junction looking towards Machynlleth. Trains to and from Aberystwyth again have the ability to pass here. Trains from Machynlleth will wait in the loop before proceeding to arrive on platform 2B once the incoming service has arrived.
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!

Information
Datchet railway station is a railway station serving the village of Datchet in Berkshire, England. The station is located on the line between Windsor and Eton Riverside and London Waterloo, which lies 38 km (24 miles) to the east.
The station has two side platforms linked by a pedestrian footbridge, and the principal station buildings are to be found on the London bound platform. The station has a central location within Datchet village, and two level crossings cross the line immediately to the west of the station. The presence of these crossings, which carry both road routes from the village to the nearby town of Windsor, can cause traffic delays in the village.
he Windsor, Staines & South Western railway was authorised to build a railway line to Windsor in 1847, however Datchet was the temporary terminus after the line was opened from Richmond on August 22, 1848. The finally completed route over the River Thames was opened on December 1 1849.
The original station had goods facilities on both up and down sides but these were eventually closed by January 17 1965. This area is now a car park on the down side and industrial units on the up side. The large goods shed next to the station master's house was also demolished in the early 1990s. The up side station building was burnt down in a fire in September 1986 but was rebuilt in a more basic style coupled with flats above it. The station masters house survived and is the only surviving structure left.
The down side wooden building has also been lost as well. Datchet had a manual signal box which also worked the manual level crossing gates, this and Mays crossing box closed in December 1974 when control has taken over by Feltham power box, this led to the replacement of the manual barriers with the lifting ones we have today.
On a more positive note the ticket office is now open Monday-Friday between 06:15 and 13:05 & Saturday from 07:55 to 14:45 whereas previously it was weekdays peak hours only. In recent years the platforms have been raised and more modern lighting erected. The most recent development has been the relaying of both down & up lines through the station replacing some very worn permanent way.
The station is served by the stopping service between Windsor & Eton Riverside and London Waterloo, operated by South West Trains. There are generally two trains per hour, taking some 4 minutes to reach Windsor & Eton Riverside, and just under an hour to reach Waterloo.
