We are a 'Security Risk'!!!

A Rainy and Wet Day: but neither Cold nor Windy. So with no Little Critters likely to be out and about, we decided to look for Trains.

We had just photographed this Train (at London Bridge) when we heard a Station' Announcement: 'Security Risk', Camera':


We waited for the Armed Police to arrive but nothing happened. We subsequently visited Network Rail's Office and next time we go to London Bridge to photograph Trains we shall pop into their Office to tell them what we will be doing.

We did learn one thing however: particularly during a conversation with a member of the Station Staff, who told us that as far as they were concerned, we could be Terrorists viz. that we no longer belong here. The World, or at least the London we once knew and lived in has gone and been replaced by something else in which we, being older, are Alien Beings. A strange feeling.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves.

We started out at King's Cross (looking for Trains operated by Grand Central, Great Northern and the London North Eastern Railway) viz.






Then back Home via Blackfriars (looking for Trains operated by Thameslink) viz.



and London Bridge (looking for Trains operated by Southeastern, Southern and Thameslink): and where we became the Security Risk:
