Crossing the King Edward VII Bridge approaching Newcastle station en-route to Perth.

Wanted a train blip today for our journey to Perth, but have rejected all the fairly uninspiring gricer pictures of 43238 that transported us all the way from Peterborough for this "snap" out of the window, reflection and all.

Train was unusually busy today, I think something must be up!!, but as usual we had our table & window seats booked three months ago, travelling by train is quite a bargain if you book in advance. Arrival in Perth though was a bit of a shock, we had departed a relatively warm southern England and arrived in a decidedly chilly Scotland - we must be turning into southern softies.
