Looking forward to seeing the new series of #AHouseThroughTime tonight! I only had a small role this time - providing a few research tips to the team for the London flat. I can’t wait to see how it all came together! 😀 #househistory #househistories @DavidOlusoga @TwentyTwentyTV

Dan’s right: @LondonWaterloo has some terrific Edwardian-era design details. This glorious LSWR stained glass window is best seen from the non-public side; & since I was working in the offices there today I snapped this (& mirror-flipped it) so you could enjoy it too.

Hurrah! Renovations at @LondonWaterloo @Foyles bookshop are complete: pleased to report that the former buffet’s twin domed Cash Desks (early 1900s) are still in good nick (obv part of listed structure) bearing moniker L&SWR. Alas, the attendant in 1960s pic now replaced by books

"Publishers need to put into practice an idea that has long been held as a consensus among climate scientists: addressing environmental issues depends on collective action."

Fun fact: The hammerbeam roof of Westminster Hall (under which HMQ’s coffin will lie in state) was the inspiration for Brunel’s Bristol Temple Meads of 1841: he famously designed its roof 4ft wider. But rly, it’s an engineering trick: his hammerbeam elements are just decorative.

Thank you Peter Saenger for the great write up in @WSJ about beautiful book Logomotive: Railroad Graphics and the American Dream, with an image of the New York-to-Chicago express ‘20th Century Limited’, streamlined by Henry Dreyfus in 1938. @SheldrakePress #design #railways

@scalzi Thanks for giving our author Jonathan Glancey space in The Big Idea to celebrate the romance of #rail #travel. He makes an eloquent case for the passenger #train and gives it its rightful place in the American dream: bit.ly/ABigIdea
