This was taken around February 1982, very shortly before the wires went up, as can be seen with the rubble from the building work strewn around. The platform is shared with a mid 70s Fiat

I brought a body and the great Tokina 11-16mm with me on a trip to London (and to the incredible St Pancras Hotel where I stayed one night), but no tripod... I did figure out that I could use the elaborate wrought iron staircases as a stabilizer/tripod, as well as floors and stairs...
Thanks everyone for the kind comments!

One thing about having ADD is that I have so many projects I want to create, but don't stay focused on them for long. For example, I came up with the idea this morning to make a photo book of my 2008 trip to Europe. But that's daunting because I took over 2000 photos on that trip, and while I know where the photos are, the stories (in the description, like this) are just as important (meaning I would need to copy-paste those into the book as well). But more significantly, it's a matter of "Who is going to care about this photo book? Just me and my infant daughter, when she's grown up. That's it." And these pics are already on Flickr, so it's kind of like "Is it really necessary to make a book?" Ultimately I think the answer is yes, because Flickr won't be around forever, but the printed word has stood the test of time. If my parents had made photo books or albums of their travels before I was born, I would find it interesting to look through them.
Anyway, here is the story that goes along with this picture:
I took the Circle Line subway from Bayswater to Edgware Road, where I transferred to the Hammersmith & City Line and took that to King's Cross St Pancras station. I went outside and walked 3/4 of the way around St Pancras station to take pictures of it, then I went back in and went through security, which I wasn't expecting since it's a train. But I guess since it's an international train, it's a bit different. I hadn't been on an international train since 2008, and that was within the Schengen Area.
