I had a very exciting day today – starting off by train to Charing Cross, then via Trafalgar Square and the fourth plinth to the Bakerloo line.

To Marylebone in good time to catch the scenic train to Birmingham.

I was pleased to go to Snow Hill, since it was closed during the time I lived here.

I had a mooch around the campus at Aston , which is unrecognisable from the 1970s.

Then a pause for a cuppa at Moor Street, another interesting station, before heading to New Street and the final train to Gemma’s.
