Portuguese Trainspotting isn't just about the trains.
It's not just about those trains on the platform waiting to go.
or those coming in - yellow for regional trains
red for local trains
of different shapes
That come and go
and come and go.
It isn't just about the trains...it's sometimes about the stations.
Large, arch-encased concourses,with shops
and pathways,
bridges,
and platforms
covered by a webbed roof, supported by pillars
so the trains can stop and go
But at night the roof, the platform, is transformed.
Trains still come and go...
...people still wait, but now under an illuminated web, illuminated pillars
People wait
or they dance, in the ticket area
with others
watched by those
on their way to the platform to wait for a train.
