This morning at Clapham Junction, South Western #Railway (SWR) surprised passengers with a ballet performance by students from the Royal Academy of Dance. The dancers performed ‘Extended Lines’ aboard an Arterio train, celebrating the fleet’s rollout to all 96 stations on SWR’s suburban network. The five Senior Scholars, aged 15–16, moved through pliés, penchés and jetés, showcasing their artistry while highlighting the train’s larger, more comfortable carriages with Wi-Fi and charging points. SWR now runs 35 Arterios across more than 400 daily services, linking #London #Waterloo to destinations including #Dorking, #Guildford, and #Windsor.

🪞🐇 À Guildford Castle, “Alice Through the Looking-Glass” (Alice de l’autre côté du miroir) a sa statue : une scène figée comme un rêve, entre conte et réalité.
C’est le genre d’endroit où on s’attend à voir un lapin passer en courant avec une montre… 😄

Team Alice ou team Pays des merveilles ?

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has published its response to an FOI request about the outer boundary of Zone 6 in #Surrey. The requester sought the rationale for setting the Zone 6 boundary at #Surbiton on routes to #Guildford and #Woking, and at #Hampton Court for Thames Ditton and Hampton Court stations, as well as any related meeting minutes or correspondence on extending Zone 6 in Elmbridge. TfL said the zonal system was introduced around 30 years ago, broadly based on six concentric zones across London, with few changes since and only where revenue impacts allowed. TfL confirmed it has no power to extend zones to stations outside its network, stating this would be for the train operator and the Department for Transport. It holds no relevant correspondence and no minutes from a May 2025 meeting with Monica Harding MP. TfL noted fares are mainly based on station-to-station pairings and referred queries to South Western Railway.

The image depicts a historic street scene in what appears to be the early 19th century. The focal point is an imposing brick building with Gothic architectural features, including two prominent towers capped with domed roofs and conical spires. The structure has several large windows framed by decorative masonry work and gabled dormer windows on its upper story.

The street in front of this building shows a bustling town atmosphere. People are walking along the sidewalk or gathered near storefronts that have awnings. A few individuals appear to be carrying goods, possibly vendors selling items from carts parked alongside the road.

Vintage automobiles and horse-drawn carriages share the narrow roadway, suggesting the transitional period between modernization and traditional modes of transportation. Street lamps line the street at regular intervals, casting a soft glow over the scene.

The sky is hazy with no distinct features such as clouds visible in this sepia-toned photograph, adding to its aged appearance. The overall impression captures the essence of daily life during that era in Guildford, England.

This image depicts a historic urban street scene from what appears to be late 19th century, judging by the architectural style and design of vehicles. The High Street in Guildford is lined with multi-story buildings exhibiting characteristics typical for that era such as ornate facades, large windows, fire escapes on some structures, and visible signage indicating businesses or residences.

The street itself has a cobbled surface, indicative of pre-modern paving methods common before the widespread adoption of modern roads. A horse-drawn tram is in motion down this street, with its single horse pulling an attached carriage-like structure carrying passengers.

On either side of the street are storefronts and residential buildings; some have awnings extending over the sidewalk where pedestrians walk. People can be seen walking along these sidewalks, suggesting a lively urban environment even at that early period. The lighting suggests it could be late afternoon or early evening given the warm hue cast on the architecture.

The overall composition of this image captures daily life and commerce in what seems to be an upper-middle-class district during Guildford's historical heyday before modernization swept through many British towns, signaling a shift towards more industrialized cities.

"The “dragon’s teeth” in Thorneycroft Wood, Surrey, were built in 1941-42 by the Royal Engineers and were manned by the Home Guard. They have been categorised as a scheduled monument."
