Attention Vern!!

[Richard Nelson]

Hello,

The 9-4/3 photo reminds me of so much of the London area 
with piping and wiring external to the building.  Is this 
because the buildings predate such conveniences?  Do newer 
buildings have internal pipes and wires?

X < > Y,     Richard

Has the Segway been tested at Kings Cross platform 9¾? I can just see
Dumbledore wafting down the Hogworts corridors on one.

Here's a link to a picture of the platform showing a station trolley halfway
through the brick wall. Notice the muggle in the picture is quite oblivious
to the passenger pushing the trolley.
