Look at 51 36 26 69N 0 14 41 87W and you'll see a FGW HST with a ghost
mini-HST ahead of it! Does look like they are merged images.


There's a two-car Underground train at 51d36'09.41N, 0d11'45.82W, just
west of Finchley Central. I don't know if it's an illusion or some kind
of engineering stock.

Nothing to do with optical illusions, but it would appear that "Thomas"
(groan) had invaded Haven Street station when the picture of there was being
taken, which may help date at least that picture, since shipping locomotives
to the Isle of White is not done very often.

Cheers,

John

OK, I was having a minor brain fart at that point. Of course I meant Wight.
