@ClareinDxb Hi Clare, the busker booked in for that timeslot was Josh Robinson.

@LondonWaterloo who is the amazing singer, singing right now?

Due to popular demand, we have additional dates to take in an immersive walking tour of @LondonWaterloo as we celebrate rail’s remarkable past, its role today and its importance for a sustainable future. Opened in 1848 and once described as being for 'a better class of commuter’ this tour in and around Waterloo Station reveals the stories behind not one but seven stations and from one, The Station of the Dead, there were no return journeys! Discover links to the past including the station’s role during two World Wars, artwork from the 1951 Festival of Britain, luxury restaurants, contemporary public art and numerous cinematic associations including a news cinema, TV lounge and iconic film locations.

Today, representatives from Network Rail, ⁦@SW_Help⁩, ⁦@transportgovuk⁩ and ⁦@BTP⁩ gathered at Victory Arch at ⁦@LondonWaterloo⁩ to remember those servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.

@andreas_nigbur Hi Andy, the Victory Arch entrance is a War Memorial and the plaques around the arch commemorate the major battlefields of WWI.

Waterloo Station is an impressive structure and one of the UK’s busiest rail hubs, linking London to the southwest of England. Yet, as one casually enters the building, simple yet unsettling questions begin to form. The destinations listed at the entrance—Belgium, Italy, Dardanelles, France, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the North Sea—spark both curiosity and a sense of something lost. Were these destinations once seamlessly connected by airship in a past now carefully omitted from the official record? tartariabritannica.com/blog/waterloo-…

Together with @NetworkRailWssx, today we unveiled a new mural celebrating '200 Years of Romance' at London Waterloo station. The mural features photographs submitted by colleagues and customers that encapsulate the connection between people and the railway.

@JonathanGoslan Hi Jonathan, these cameras are a temporary installation and only being used for pedestrian counts. There should be a poster like this one nearby.

Looks like facial recognition for everyone leaving Waterloo Station. Jerry-rigged and no power supply. Nice.
