2011-01-07 The Ghost Train Of Stevenage Station

As I write this, I am on the train, travelling north from Stevenage towards home. Fingers crossed that the rest of the journey will go as smoothly as the previous part has been…

Anyway, while waiting in Stevenage Station for my train, there was an announcement that the next train would not stop at this station, and would we please stand back from the edge of the platform. So I got the camera out, and found that the lighting conditions were such that a one-second exposure would be required…

I’d love to claim this was totally hand-held, but I held the camera against a nearby wall and ended upo with this picture… a ghostly train half-visible as it races towards London
