26 May (Part 2) - With the high flyers

If you looked at the opening day Crossrail pictures (22 and 27) you may have noticed that I bumped into Danny Hackett on the platform and he kindly invited me to join him for coffee in his office at Canary Wharf so I climbed the canary coloured escalator (Photo 36) and ascended half way up his skyscraper.

The office space was much bigger than I had imagined with every desk filled with computer gear. A far cry from 1982 when I had to buy my own desktop machine and was rewarded with the threat of disciplinary action if I continued to use the company’s electricity without authorisation to which the rebellious response was **** you or similar.

However 2022’s technology is still not perfect; the coffee machine was broken but Danny can make a fair cup of tea.

You may wish to see the view from his window.
