TfL Rail

TfL Rail is a commuter railway route in London and the home county of Essex that currently serves the 14 stations on the Great Eastern Main Line between Liverpool Street, in the City of London, and Shenfield.

It is operated by MTR Corporation under contract to Transport for London (TfL), and forms part of the future Crossrail route from Shenfield to Reading and Heathrow Airport.

 TfL Rail took control of the Liverpool Street to Shenfield "metro" service in May 2015. In May 2018, Heathrow Connect services (between Paddington and the airport) and the Heathrow Express shuttle (from Heathrow Central to Terminal 4) will also come under TfL Rail operation. The route will then be re-branded as the Elizabeth line in December 2018, when its central underground section opens.

Between May 2016 and May 2017, TfL Rail carried over 47 million passengers.

On my line TfL will be travelling through Arnos Grove this allows me to add addition train services to my train set

 

 

 

 

THE PINEAPPLE

I first learned about this pub from a book I read called Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier, set in the times of Philip Astley (1742–1814), a riding instructor, horse-trainer, and was acknowledged as the inventor of the modern day circus.

This pub is on the end corner of  the historical Hercules Road which is mostly well known for a former resident, the poet and visionary artist William Blake (1757–1827), who lived in a large house, number  13 Hercules Buildings, and his address was Mr. Blake Engraver, Hercules Buildings, Westminster Bridge

In 2015 when my family visited London I took my step son to visit The Pineapple  and had a nice lunch of fish and chips
