Visit to Ely Cathedral 24 km away - free day on conference programme.
Took the 11.03 am train operated by West Anglia Great Northern, 4-car Class 365 Networker Express no.365527 running on overhead lines at speeds of 100 mph calling at Waterbeach.
As you approach Ely, the cathedral rises up on the left above the landscape which must have been even more dominant during the medieval period. A short walk from the station takes you to the centre of the town, past Oliver Cromwell’s House on St Mary’s Street, across to "Palace Green” grounds providing a magnificent view of the 215 feet tall West tower dating from the 12th century.
The cathedral has its origins in AD 672 when St Etheldreda built an...

    I was living in Portsmouth at this time and my wife was working on the top floor of the very tall building in the clip near the entrance to the dockyard. My first reaction to the video is the very different look to the country back then, fewer people seemed to be about, Brighton looked empty, and Portsmouth looked like a vast open area without the domination of tall buildings and Gunwharf now. Near empty trains, these days they seem packed no matter what time of day you travel.

    Thanks so much for uploading your videos from the JNB-LHR route from the 1998 to 2001 era. If you have any more please keep sharing. Video of JNB at that time, especially at night, are so rare. I have many memories but only some blurry night photos from that time. I flew on the BA 744s on that route in 1995 and 1998, Air France in 1996 and 2001 via CDG and on SA’s 747s in 1999, 2002, 2005 before Swiss a340s in 2004 and 2008. It was such a great era with SA’s colourful 747 fleet and BA’s World Tails too. Glad you seemed to appreciate those overnight flights as much as I did! ✈️ 🇿🇦
