Born 1943, British photographer David Christie was interested in transport from an early age, starting photography of railways in 1962 and buses in 1967. “My first Railway photographs were taken at the London Termini in 1962 at Kings Cross, my favourite from my trainspotting days.”And here is an amazing photo collection from part of his work that shows everyday life of London’s terminal stations during the 1960s.
