I'm just back from viewing the last two departures 18:09 and 18:12 ex
Waterloo and last 2 arrivals 19:40 and 19:58 at Vauxhall.

Where abouts were you at Waterloo, Nick?

At Vauxhall, for all 4, but I can see my wording is imprecise.

I did retreat out of the cold to Waterloo in between basically to kill
some time, looking at the stage etc but was being dismantled by the
time I got there.

Having spent most of the day at St Pancras I went to Waterloo to wave off
the last trains with numerous staff - was actually quite emotional for many
who had worked there for so long. With a few crates and other bits and
pieces I headed back to St Pancras with one empty at Waterloo still there.
A couple of hours later that was pulling into St Pancras after going to
Singlewell and changing ends. Busy day, very tired and plenty to do
tomorrow still but a very nice time was had by all waving off the final
Brussels and Paris trains. Naturally enough, the behind the scenes areas
look like a hurricane has blown through with several years of memorabilia
being emptied from various lockers. Incidentally, the official call from
North Pole to say 'send no more trains, we are winding down' came at around
3pm.
