Where are you on the transport network?

Few hours ago - Horsham - Victoria via Boxhill and so on. Flourishing vineyards. Superb line and superb countryside.
Talking of transport networks...that vineyard runs a visitor tour with one of those land train things...it trundles up the hill in the background of your photo and back down again. Got a free ride on it last year; one benefit of walking with friends with toddlers :thumbs:
 
This time with the London Overground (passenger) train in the background disappearing up towards the north pole. Any better?

You should be able to catch a low-flying airliner in your shot if the wind is going the right way.

I used to go there (north bank) on the overground train with my eldest when he was two, wide range of exciting vehicles plus a nice wide paved area with a few ramps for zooming about on his little trike. Great place for young kids.
 
(I think I can top that when standing on the Luis I bridge in Porto, from there you can see cars, a variety of boats on the river below, trams on the bridge itself, heavy rail going into São Bento, a funicular, a cable car, and flights coming into the airport. A few years ago there were also tourist helicopter flights buzzing up and down, but didn’t see any this year)

No pictures though 😁

Tbf it would have to be a video, as the funicular and regular trains are one side of the bridge, cable car and planes the other. Maybe next year I’ll take my SLR and fisheye lens...

Apologies for not including an aeroplane. I thought I did well with helicopter, rubbish barge, houseboat, police boat and River us, but hey. 🙁
That’s the main approach to LHR of course, but not as frequent a sight since the pandemic.
