Recent nostalgia.

Le temps d'avant

Indeed so, Boro. Many thanks!

It's a lovely station and I like the angle at which you have taken it. Everything changes and, at the moment, not for the better.

Sad but true, Jean.
And as a station, it certainly isn't beautiful or especially stylish but I think it has an understated charm, a quality I particularly like, together with a four-square kind of steadfastness.
... I'm beginning to sound like a pseud so I'll quit while I'm behind and retire to bed!
Many thanks!

That was the old life !! no doubt a lot less passengers now, it looks a modern station with good wide platforms plenty of room for social distancing

Thank you Peter. I wasn't impressed when I first encountered this station but it has grown on me over the years!

Last days of freedom and happiness...

Weren't they indeed, Isabel!

Belle prise plongeante ..!

Many thanks, Malik!

Brings back happy memories..,top station!

Pleased you like this, Diana. Many thanks.

Super cadrage, Andy, jolie perspective !
Il ne faut pas se "voiler la face" : nous ne sommes pas près de revoir la bouche de nos concitoyens...

Well ... let's hope it's temporary and not for all time, Eric!
Thank you and stay safe!

Bonne composition

Thank you, Jean-Luc.

The life "before" !!!!

Indeed, Marie-claire!
Thank you.

Très belle image... !+++++++++

Many thanks, Jocelyne!

Yes....nostalgia.......
I miss so much the human contact ad the smiles ( I wear mask outside my house nearly everywhere but in nature....)

I do also, Annemarie but I have no choice as I can never leave the city - so always the mask. wherever I walk!

As yes, times past! A fine image of the station too.

Thank you, George. It's a fine station. I didn't think so when I first encountered it. It grew on me, though!I

Belle vue plongeante bien composée et pleine d'action..!

Many thanks, Roland!

joliment composée !!!

Thank you, Nathalie!

great place

Thank you, Mario!

I am always impressed with Spanish stations............they always look so clean and well kept...........unlike most of ours!

Thank you, Keith.
They used to employ armies of tiny (they were ALWAYS tiny, don't ask me why!) South and Central American ladies who swept the platforms and forecourts to within an inch of their lives every minute of the day at all metro and mainline stations.
The recession in Spain of 2011-12 put paid to that but still, the stations get a thorough cleaning 2-3 times a day and now a full disinfect every morning before opening.
I was a regular commuter on main line and tube transport in London from the late 70s to about 2000 and I agree with you that it was filthy then. But I understood that it had improved and been tidied up a lot since then.

Great shot.
Have a lovely evening ;-)

Many thanks, June!

I love the strong diagonals in this shot, Andy. All the best, Joe

Thank you, Joe!

Those were the carefree days.... I have used public transport only once (with a N95/FFP2 mask) since the virus struck and am not keen to repeat the experience.

Me too, and that was for a blood test and as the clinic opened at 7 am, I thought I would catch the first bus, hopefully empty and recently disinfected. That was in April and I was the only passenger on a bus trip right across Madrid. I was first in line and the clinic smelt of recent disinfectant. i was in and out in 5 minutes and caught the return bus where at most 3 other passengers got on. And that's all!
Amazing to think that in February I was making between 8 and 12 metro and bus journeys every day!

Even when this is over I don't think all people will return to what they did before, many have found out how much time commuting has cost them:-)

No that was to come, wasn't it?
