Down the line

Cheddington station is about 35 miles (50km) north of London's Euston station, firmly in commuter country.

It's on the old London & North Western route, what today is the West Coast Mainline. The station was rebuilt in the 1960s, at the time the WCML was electrified, so it's in the standard BR(M) form of a low, flat-roofed brick pavilion, with a large island platform in the middle of the four-track way.

This preamble is by way of introduction to a trio of rather atmospheric night photos taken by some talented yet anonymous photographer.

I like these images a lot, despite the fact (or possibly due to the fact) that there's almost nothing to them:

The absence of any people adds to their charms, I think.

I have never succeeded in taking decent night-time photographs. I am jealous.
