I'm a new Railcard holder - yippee !

Just home from a mammoth cross country journey to see Elizabeth in Norfolk for 4 nights.
We travelled on the train, which involved changing at Paddington then underground to Kings Cross. With 50 minutes to wait we strolled outside and I took a pic of Rob in front of some of the impressive building work.

What you can't see behind his shoulder is a small shed sized space which is behind the barrier.
It's platform 9 3/4 from one of the Harry Potter books, and whilst we were there in the blistering sunshine watching the great Metropolitan community rush by, foreign tourists kept arriving to pose for photos in front of this 'shrine'. Sad to say they never gave a sideways glance to the fabulous architechture adjacent.

Here's the Holmes family from Melbourne, happy to pose for a group shot.
Drop me a line Holmeses and I will send you the file if you would like it.
Luckily for us we chose to go away in the freak sunny weather, so we had a brilliant time taking a look at King's Lynn and returning to the rivers that we cruised on our narrowboat in 2005.
With our newly acquired Senior Railcards we managed to get an incredible price for the return journey on the train of £39 each, which competes very favourably with filling the petrol tank one and half times had we taken the car. We got to see the countryside, upgraded to first class for only £20 each, whole route, for which we were very grateful on the return trip home from Paddington to Exeter, as the poor travellers not in first class seemed to be packed in like sardines in their carriages with shrieking kids, litter and sweaty atmosphere, whilst we reclined on generous leather seats and enjoyed 2 goes at the free drinks trolley and free cake in our air conditioned section.
I ticked the box on the Senior Railcard form that offered e-mail alerts for more wonderful offers, so be prepared for the next dispatch to come from other far flung destinations.... I've got the travel bug (at least for as long as the ticket is valid)
