First class return

I used the return part of my free first class East Coast rail ticket to London on Monday. A rather uneventful journey but I wanted to show you two photos, one taken at the start of the journey and another at the end. The redeveloped Kings Cross Station is a great improvement and looks fantastic, as you can see in the photo above. The 2nd was taken as we crossed the King Edward VII railway bridge over the Tyne, approaching Newcastle. I always know when I am just about home from London when I see this stunning view of the River Tyne gorge and the bridges that span it.
