Transport Interchange

I am very much looking forward to a blog meetup later this week with Britmums.  The event will be in York and I thought rather than drive, although it is close, I would take the girls on the train again.   Our last train journey took us to London and my daughter really loved it.  In preparation for this we went to purchase some tickets from the transport interchange.

My eldest thought the transport interchange was fascinating.  She loved standing on the bridge looking over all the bus stops and watching both the people going by and the buses coming in and out of all the stops.

We continued over the bridge to the train station to purchase some tickets.  She had to stop on another footbridge to watch the trains coming in and out the platform

I think she would have spent all day looking out the window at the trains.  When one came she would scream with delight and when it left she would ask for another.  In the ticket office she was jumping up and down with excitement I had to explain that we would be getting on the train another day and today we are just watching the trains.  She was a little upset that we would not be getting on one today.

I made it up to her by stopping to watch the buses, which she really loved

She was ever so happy watching them and we would have spent longer if it had been a little warmer.  I love how she gets so much enjoyment from watching the world go by.

This day I love transport interchange.

  2. A fascinating past time for an youngster. I know my boys when they were young would endlessly watch trains come and go and planes too. Thanks for linking up and I hope the blog meet up was good too.

  3. Kids do love these simple things. It's such a shame we grow out of that sense of wonderment at the world

  4. Harry just adores public transport, which is good, since we don't have a car! We can see the mainline train track from our window and he gets very cross if he catches the tail end of a train!
