Best Plotted Plans Failed

Earlier in the week I spent a morning ambling around Town, following a list of 'quirky' things I wanted to see.
I started at Whitechapel Tube Station. I think this is the only place where Underground trains pass over the top of the local railway service, known as the Overground within London.
There was, once, a clear view of the Tube trains from the lower Overground platforms, but with construction work for the forthcoming Crossrail project, now there is only a small space, towards the upper right of the picture, to spot the trains of the District or Hammersmith and City lines.
So much for that carefully plotted plan. Still, it is a little bit on the quirky side!

That looks like a shiny new tube station.

I have the same plan to walk around my town and look at some of the neat things. Maybe I can write a blog about it when I am done. I live in a pretty old town. Most people are so used to living here that they think its a dump but if you really look around there is a lot of really neat history here!

I'd be interested in seeing that view myself. Oh well, you kinda found quirky.

I wish that I remembered London. I was just a baby when we lived in England. I hope to visit again one day.
