January 8 2010:
The Best Way to Travel!

Woking

I know railways are not perfect, but they certainly take the stress out of driving, the hassle out of flying and the discomfort and slowness of coach travel.

We are so lucky where I live to have a conveyor-belt full of trains up to London, hence the four tracks to accomodate 'fast' and 'slow' trains.

I agree ... train travel is great. Very lovely scene Ray. Good work.

I have to agree yet we don't do that much here, unfortunately. With scenery like that a train ride is the best! Love this in B&W!

Great image. I agree with you. Train travel is the best.

Hoping those days return to us. I have fond memories.

I always feel like a kid traveling by train..each time it's like my first ride..(still get confused with the underground trains, remember? lol) anyway, fantastic shot and so well done..

Glad to see there are no leaves on the track!!....well the other three anyway :) Bonnie shot.

I didn't know places had four tracks for fast and slow trains...good idea! Have to put a word in for trams too - they've got Sheffield workers to and from work when the buses have been suspended!

Another beautiful winter scene - quick catch that train, it might be the only one with snow chains! ;o)

I love this image Ray! V.
I hope that the train system in the UK works better than the one in France. They are ALWAYS going on strike there!
JW08-Jan-2010 20:19
Great scene. You have lots more trains than here
Faye White08-Jan-2010 19:31
You are lucky! I was just telling someone last weekend (during the four hour drive back from the motorcycle track) that I wished we had the train system that you have in the UK.

Beautiful winter scene.

Excellent compo and shape contrast. I agree, it's a good way of traveling.
Guest 08-Jan-2010 19:04
