Our Terminus Tour Terminates<\/span><\/p>\n But the railways had their eyes on other markets and better penetration of the heart of the UK’s capital – maybe several hearts!<\/p><\/div>\n … Blackfriars and Holborn Viadict …<\/p>\n … and the next of our puzzle pictures.<\/p>\n Charing Cross<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n The hotel remains, facing on to the Strand …<\/p>\n … and is now super posh!<\/p>\n Here, a menu sample …<\/p>\n … for afternoon tea. Or is it tiny afternoon nibbles?<\/p>\n fbb would want burger and chips PLUS posh nibbles and \u00a340 would still be too much!<\/p><\/div>\n The top bridge links the main Waterloo terminus with Waterloo East’s through platforms on the Charing Cross line. The lower bridge used to carry a single track railway link between the two stations.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the diagram below, the link is marked “To S E R”.<\/p>\n The connection was little used – a good thing as it crossed the concourse and the taxi toad on the level with no barriers! Health and Safety, where were you?<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p><\/div>\n Victoria<\/span><\/p>\n LADY BRACKNELL. At the cloak-room at Victoria Station?<\/span><\/p>\n JACK. Yes. The Brighton line.<\/span><\/p>\n LADY BRACKNELL. The line is immaterial. Mr. Worthing, I confess I feel somewhat bewildered by what you have just told me. To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.\u00a0 As for the particular locality in which the hand-bag was found, a cloak-room at a railway station might serve to conceal a social indiscretion – has probably, indeed, been used for that purpose before now\u00a0 –\u00a0 but it could hardly be regarded as an assured basis for a recognised position in good society.<\/span><\/p>\n JACK. I can produce the hand-bag at any moment. It is in my dressing-room at home. I really think that should satisfy you, Lady Bracknell.<\/span><\/p>\n LADY BRACKNELL. Me, sir! What has it to do with me? You can hardly imagine that I and Lord Bracknell would dream of allowing our only daughter – a girl brought up with the utmost care – to marry into a cloak-room, and form an alliance with a parcel? Good morning, Mr. Worthing!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n The station name has been expunged by fbb! In 1976 British Rail Inter City burst forth in a paroxysm of publicity for new services that would run THROUGH London from northern cities to south coast destinations.<\/p>\n Intially there were several services …<\/p>\n … with good printed publicity.<\/p>\n Sadly, the services were not very successful, perhaps because they were slow as they crawled round the Capital; and better frequencies were available by crossing London swiftly by Underground.<\/p><\/div>\n
