Let me see... you're either a sugar man, an aeronautics man, a teleportation man, or a Chinese food wholesaler man... do I win a prize or am I way out?

Does it need to be underground? If not, Mill Hill East? If so, Lambeth North? tom I'd like to use both, I love the simple architecture of underground stations and also overground. I'll check them out :-) -- Mark. www.MarkVarleyPhoto.co.uk www.TwistedPhotography.co.uk www.TwistedArts.co.uk www.BeautifulBondage.net |

One of your soft-porn projects? May I suggest Newbury Park underground station? About 6.30 any weekday evening would be good for me. ok then, spectator tickets £50, £100 for front-row ;-) PS, I'm aware of the permissions system for photoshoots in such places so no worries from that angle. You know usenet, don't you? :-) Without that, you'd have attracted hundreds of self-appointed lawyers, all of whom would forget to answer the actual question. oh yes :-) -- Mark. www.MarkVarleyPhoto.co.uk www.TwistedPhotography.co.uk www.TwistedArts.co.uk www.BeautifulBondage.net |

Platform "0" at Southall. It's the disused face of the island platform that includes Platform 1 on the down main Great Western. As trains pass Platform 1 at 125 mph, it's not quiet sound-wise, but there are normally no passengers on that island at any time of day or night as no trains stop there. Platform 0 has the occasional freight train; the track is in good condition and the platform mostly so. If you're interested, I can send you some photos I took about a year ago. that could be ideal, fast trains passing are no problem and could actually be a bonus. Photos would be cool, email is markvarley at gmail.com -- Mark. www.MarkVarleyPhoto.co.uk www.TwistedPhotography.co.uk www.TwistedArts.co.uk www.BeautifulBondage.net |

wrote this gibberish: I'd suggest the least-served stations in London, Sudbury & Harrow Road and/or Sudbury Hill Harrow. Both have no evening or weekend train service (and precious few trains during a weekday), and are completely unstaffed, so there should be no one around to bother you. AFAIK there's no physical way for the stations to be locked, so you should have no trouble gaining access. S&HR is high up on a viaduct with no buildings, so you should get good light. SHH is in a cutting and a little more secluded. both worth a look :-) thank you You could also try South Greenford or Castle Bar Park, which have no evening or Sunday service, though off the top of my head I don't know whether they might be locked. By the way, if you use any of the suggestions from the group, posting links to some of the pics would be appreciated ![]() will do :-) -- Mark. www.MarkVarleyPhoto.co.uk www.TwistedPhotography.co.uk www.TwistedArts.co.uk www.BeautifulBondage.net |

To be precise, it's ONE of the places I work. Just off there now in fact. |

Photos would be cool, email is markvarley at gmail.com For lots of background activity, but minimal direct interference, there's always platform 1 at Clapham Junction (disused, island with platform 2 with a short train every half hour, many busy platforms beyond). |

Hopefully not to far out for you either. |
