Shades and I soon arrived there after zipping through the not-yet-opened Bond Street station and before long we were being hoofed out of the train as it got ready for its return journey.  A large and airy platform greeted us, with some lovely large roundels to play with.  A number of photos were taken, with the favourite being chosen for the site.  Once we had grabbed photos, it was time to head on to the next stop, but this time we would be leaving the Elizabeth Line behind for a while and finally getting a station that should have previously been gotten&#8230;  The District Line part of Paddington (Underground).
