9:25am, on Platform 2 at Waterloo Station, and the Class 438 4TC train (left) has just come in
From Waterloo Station to Great Yarmouth, London and Norfolk - 20th September 1987
Nosher buys a second-hand bike from housemate Barney and despite not having cycled much for the last couple of years decides to cycle from Norwich to Great Yarmouth - around 20 miles. At around half-way, near the Stracey Arms windpump, it's hard going, and a sweater has to be pressed in to service as a saddle softener. By the time Yarmouth is reached, standing up in the peddles is the order of the day so the train is the only way back. Before that, there's a trip down south somewhere, which gives a chance to get a few photos of Waterloo Station, and the morning rush-hour.
