Meeting at Barbican - a photo on Flickriver

            A Hammersmith & City Line train runs into Barbican station as London Transport pannier tank L94 from emerges into the daylight, greeted by throngs of enthusiasts and bystanders as it works the 'Last Steam Train on the Underground' special from Moorgate to Neasden on 6th June 1971. There were no safety lines on the platform to stand behind in those days, and one photographer is foolishly standing between the platform and running line in an effort to obtain a better shot. Having witnessed the 'gallery' already assembled on the platform upon arrival at Barbican, I opted for an elevated position, and now cannot quite remember how that was achieved, but I didn't have a ladder or steps.
