Manor Place, FELTHAM, TW14 9AN

The Longford River was constructed in 1638 to take water from the River Colne. This would then supplement the water supply to Hampton Court and enable the development of the water features in the park. The spire of the former St Catherine's Church near Feltham station can be seen over the trees.

Feltham is close to Heathrow where the flight to Prague had just left the runway.

The level crossing barriers rise after the passage of a train into Feltham Station. Framed between the barriers is a H25 bus for Hatton Cross in the bus station that was built in the 1990's when the railway station was rebuilt. The service is operated by Abellio and the vehicle is a Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart. The lady in the bottom right of the photo amused me - having waited patiently by the barrier rather than using the footbridge, she ducked under the barrier as it was rising to hurry briskly across the railway line.

Passengers on the up platform at Feltham wait for the doors to be released so that they can board the train - for some reason on these Siemens Desiro units it seems to take an age! The train is the 12:41 for Waterloo from Weybridge, routing via the Hounslow Loop - the slow route to Waterloo. It is followed by the 12:46 which takes the more direct route via Twickenham and 10 minutes less.
