 Morning sleep and do final pack ups. Took camera and some more wires in.

Cleaned the table with cloth and took some trash whilst I walk to station. There are recycables.

It is freeeeezing out so I got to station with 15 minutes spare.

Got onto train. I charged my phone and took some photo of the sunrise on the way.

Then went to toilet in Peterborough. Got changed there and took LNER 225 down to London KGX direct. Did do some photography and videos along the way. Tries to play Fishbowl without success so do it later. I also search the train timetable. Originally want to got to Epsom to see Ciara but she kindly refused my invitation. So I did a plan change to see the BR blue 455 and ride on it to where She travels.

I took tube to Waterloo First and on 96 stock. Also changed at Kennington.

Then got to Waterloo. First went to toilets, then get diary writing and also learned German.

Then at 9:55 I went to the gateline but just discovered there is a power outrage and therefore I cannot register my Oyster for fares in Waterloo gateline so I asked what to do and the staff told be to get to Kingston and ask gateline for help.

Got video of the newly repainted 455. Then i got on the train ready to depart.

Talked to a Young fellow trainspotter. Then someone onto the train begging and saying he is not a junkies and needed help. I therefore gave him 2 quid then.

Then do some videos along the way.

I got off at Kingston. Asked the ladies to get the gate opened and travelled free for first round!

Then I walked to town centre and saw some cherry blossoms. Then I walked to the Shopping centre (Bentall). I did a photo of the post office and Maccie D. I talked to a family about how light the receipt are and talked briefly about my day out.

Then I went to have my meal and played on WhatsApp. Send a message to Nancy about what I saw on the tube- Satan hates bible :)

Then after lunch I briefly wrote my diary and go on discord about LNER using SCR?! Lol.

Thrn I walked in Town centre. Then I went into Cathedral to have a deep look around and also saw some prayers cards.

I saw Cherry's blossoms outside of the church.

Walked to Town centre and saw someone selling Chicken Katsu. I decided later I had to go back and buy.
Saw Ice Cream van.
Went to see some buses and did photos of them. Walked around in a circle in Guildhall. Then went to see the Clattern Bridge. Then walked along the main street. Saw road sign hanging on a building.
Turn into Alleyway and saw some nice paintings. Then turns left onto Queens avenue and walked along riverbank, did some photos of flowers too. Turned back and Saw the loving Church and did a few photographs of it. Walked on cycle lane for a bit. Turned right into street and another back to City centre.
Bought Chicken Katsu. Walked back to outside of train station and saw a lady there. Moved a bit then took the meal. After meal I want to see if I can go to the Gym for toilets but in reality they don't. So decided to go to Clapham Junction first.
Waited for the train.
Later took train back to Clapham Junction. Then went to toilet.
Want to do photo of Southern 377105 but got told off. I did the photo anyway so don't argue 😹.
Got to Victoria. Originally want to see if got time to do 465 but I decided not to.
So I went down to Tube. Today tube is bloody busy and also got Palestine protest. Got stuck at gateline for a bit. Passenger having issues in ticket doesn't help either.
Took tube back to Kings Cross. Then walked and stayed at St.Pancreas. Saw TGV arrivals and I saw the station history and also its relation about Brew industry in Barton on Trent and large amounts of storage underground.

Saw the piano there and then walked back to St.Pancreas. I bend down to pass the rope though.
Arrive KGX.
Heard some broadcasts in a Child voice.
Talked to some ladies.

Went to see train board and I just discovered the train been cancelled. And later further events just makes things even complicated. The trespassers and bridge strike doesnt help either.
Talked to staff about what train to take. Took the 2000 train change at Newark. On the LNER train, passenger are adviced to move to different coaches on the 2x 5 service.
Then talked to ladies on train.
Got to Newark.
Talked to Chinese ladies. Also see another 800 moving from P2 towards Doncaster Carr depot.  It is getting rainy also.
Took EMR train home.
Saw some Youngsters about to catch the train and delayed it. Train don't wait for kiddos!!
Dinner had chicken nuggets, fish, mushrooms for dinner.
When I heard about tax matters I am worried, and starts feeling lack of energy.
Went for shower and then I went to bed. Resd some internet before bed.
