A Week on the Rails, Stratford and Liverpool Street, London - 23rd July

It's a busy week for the ever-changing graffiti alongside the railway lines through Poplar and Tower Hamlets and into Liverpool Street, along with snatched glimpses of life in the side streets. Many of these photos are now impossible to do since the trains were "upgraded" and replaced with ones where it's impossible to open any windows.
