So what has the British Airways London Eye got to do with railways? Well not only does it provide spectacular views of London but the bonus, if you are interested in photographing railways, is that it happens to overlook two of London's Mainline stations. To the left of the Eye is Hungerford Bridge which carries Connex S & S.E services into Charing Cross. One can just be seen in the picture. Then directly behind the Eye lies Waterloo Station which in addition to handling trains from the S.& S.W. mainly by South West Trains, has alongside it Waterloo International which is for Eurostar services to the Continent. All pictures were taken on Friday May 30th 2003 in good clear conditions at around 3.00pm. 'Jampics' collectively bucked-up courage and climbed on board for the 30 minute 'flight' that takes you up to 135 metres above London..........
