350247, LN 13.54 London Euston-Birmingham New Street (1Y41, 2E), London Euston station Our train home after our short break in London waits in the darkness of Euston station. 350247 along with another four-car unit will work the 13.54 to Birmingham New Street. With the recent announcement that the long-awaited rebuild of Euston is to be 'indefinitely paused' then dismal scenes such as this look like that they will be with us for some time to come!

Tickets, London Euston-Northampton Our return tickets from London to Northampton unlike the outward ones were checked just once on arrival back at Northampton. Travelling ticket checks appear to have become very rare on London Northwestern southwards towards London; I cannot remember the last time one took place. However, with many trains now full and standing, as both our outward and return trains were, it is tricky for the guard to move around their train. Keywords: Tickets London Euston-Northampton
