Back in the game!

It’s been a while since we went on a big session to visit lots of Tube Map Stations so we decided to make amends during this Bank Holiday Weekend. We decided to complete the Eastern end of District line starting from Barking.

We made to Upminster, which had a nice Signal Box shown below.

We decided to get to Goblin (Gospel Oak to Barking LINe) from Blackhorse Road. I have already ticked this station off, but Emma Hadn’t and this counts as we arrived on the Victoria Line from Seven Sisters and exited the Gate Line to get the photo.

We arrived at Barking then headed out for a quick stop at KFC before heading back into the station to complete the District Line!

First stop along was Upney.

Dagenham Heathway

I’ve never been to Dagenham East before, but all these stations were starting to see very samey! an exit at the Eastern End of the platform leading to a single exit on a main road...

As with most of stations along this part of the District Line, there didn’t seem to be much around Elm Park when we left the stations to explore the local areas.

Upminster Bridge

One of the joys of doing the District Line was the S Stock Trains! When you are in Zone 6, its not too uncommon to have a whole train to yourself, which makes a fun selfie opportunity...

We made it Upminster in a sooner that we though we would. There was plenty of daylight and we had time so decided to visit a few more stations.

Our plan for the evening was to see Fast & Furious 8 at a Cineworld as we have unlimited cards. Originally we thought about going to Ilford, but as we had time to decided to head to the O2 instead, and get more stations in!

We took a train all the way East Ham and continue ticking off more district line stations

It’s been a few years since I was last at Upton Park, Emma’s driver a rail replacement bus here a few times but last time I visited was when we stayed at hotel in the old West Ham United Stadium.

Plaistow

After heading out then in again to use West Ham’s Gateline barriers, we switched over to the Jubilee Line and continue out journey towards the O2.

There was a lot of interestingly dressed people at Canning Town. It turns out there was a Secret Cinema screening of Moulin Rouge...

Our final station for the day was North Greenwich! We headed into the O2 to grab some dinner and see Fast & Furious 8, a pretty awesome film, surprisingly funny!

After another fun day of visiting stations we got to 15 more, well 16 for Emma! I managed to cross 100 different stations during this sessions, bring me closer to that half way mark...

My grand total thus far is 110!

2 growth stocks I’d buy in January

While rising political choppiness and tougher macroeconomic conditions may affect the fortunes of many UK-focused shares in 2018, I am convinced that Cineworld (LSE: CINE) should continue to prove its mettle as a reliable growth share.

Britons’ love of the silver screen is something that is now bankable, with new records for box office takings now being set year after year. And the steady flow of blockbusters is helping to attract more and more film addicts through the doors (Star Wars: The Last Jedi grossed a staggering $450m at the global box office in its first weekend, underlining the enduring popularity of so-called franchise films).

Meanwhile, Cineworld’s screen expansion scheme, site refurbishment programme, combined with the rollout of new technologies (like 4DX) is also helping to drive the top line. The FTSE 250 firm saw box office takings in its home market rise 5.8% during the year to November 19.

Picture perfect

Strong moviegoer appetite in the UK is not the only reason to expect Cineworld to deliver strong earnings expansion in the years ahead.

The company is also a major player across Central and Eastern Europe and Israel, of course, and takings in these regions rose 8.1% during in 2017 up to November 19. Cineworld is expanding further overseas — the firm has opened two cinemas in Poland, one in the Czech Republic and one in Romania in the second half too.

The screen star is now looking further afield to light a fire under future earnings. The market may have reacted poorly to news that the company has bought US-based Regal Entertainment Group for $3.6bn but I believe the entry into the world’s biggest movie market is a bold and exciting move for the years ahead.

In the interim, Cineworld is expected to deliver earnings growth of 8% and 9% in 2017 and 2018 respectively. And current forecasts mean than the business deals on an undemanding forward P/E ratio of 15.6 times.

With the business also offering up chunky dividend yields of 3.5% for the outgoing period and 3.8% for next year, I reckon the share is a compelling selection right now.

Global star

I am also convinced Boohoo.Com (LSE: BOO) has what it takes to keep delivering meaty profits improvement year after year.

The online clothing retailer continues to pull up trees at home, but this is not the only reason for celebration as sales across the business are also pounding higher in international markets. Over at acquired e-tailer Pretty Little Thing, Boohoo said that “the international business is gaining considerable momentum, with international sales being nearly seven times higher than in the first half of the previous year.” As a result group revenues boomed 106% during March-August.

Fears over declining margins have seen Boohoo fall out of favour with share pickers more recently. However, the investments that have driven this (like the automation of warehousing operations) should create significant upside in the coming years.

City brokers are predicting a 28% bottom-line uplift in both 2017 and 2018, and although value chasers may be put off by an elevated prospective P/E rating of 64.8 times, I reckon Boohoo’s exceptional sales momentum across the world merits such a valuation.

This growth stock could make you rich in 2018

But Boohoo and Cineworld aren't the only growth heroes you can buy today and live off in the years to come.
