Captain's log :
It is 08.05.2177, after a meeting with my Chief Engineer and the Tactical Officer I am convinced that now is the moment to inform my crew about the jump drive of the Centauri. The first jump is imminent.
Cpt Harley : Communications ? I need a ship wide channel
Communication : Open captain please speak
Cpt Harley : Crew of the Yamakoto, this is the captain.
Some of you have heard rumors of a so-called jump drive that we have received from our allies the Centauri.
I must confirm that this is not just a rumor....
The SCSS Yamakoto is the first and only ship in the Solar Confederation to have not only the commonly known FTL drive, but also a Centauri gravitational jump drive.
I regret that we have kept this information from you until now, unfortunately we were forced to do so by spies within our own ranks. I apologize to all of you on behalf of the Confederation.
Our chief engineer will contact you via ship communication and give you some details about our engines, until then I ask for your patience.
Communication
Spandau Ballet
‘Communication let me down,
And I'm left here
Communication let me down,
And I'm left here, I'm left here again!’
Train friends will doubtless be familiar with the term ‘plus five’, in ordinary English it means ‘five minutes to connect between trains’. This evening I had a ‘plus five’ at Edinburgh Waverley that involved quite a sprint, the recommended time for changing trains at this station being 15 minutes due to its size and complexity.
So, where’s the connection with the song? Well, I was able to track the progress of my train in real time using the track diagrams from ‘Open Time Trains’, seeing just what the signal man sees!

I was able to follow the schedule of my train on Real Time Trains, my actual train is here:

The 3 minutes late at South Gyle was a bit of a tense moment and resulted in anxious search for the best route between platforms 1 and 2 at Edinburgh, not as easy as you might think, the map shows all!

Anyhow, some spirited running from 68006 saw us arrive right time in Edinburgh, a long sprint and we made our train home to York. Thanks to Mrs. J for her understanding and quick running on our anniversary trip! Making the 19:36 train home did come as something of a relief, the next train being at 21:00!
Picture posted, once I got my breath back, from the train home. This was certainly an occasion when communication didn’t let me down!
68006 ‘Daring’ speeds its way across the Forth Bridge with 2K14 the 18:16 Glenrothes with Thornton to Edinburgh of 1st November 2018.
Safety note: a train had just passed in the other direction, so no safety problem from there. Phone out of the window only a couple of centimetres. Image cropped, so all nice and safe all round:-)
The conductor is counting down the distance to the highway intersection, what we think the code means: It's those two photographers again, I think they see me, hard to hide with a safety vest on. F735-17 backs to service Verallia North America.

Le seul avantage de l'abus de ces nouvelles technologies, c'est que cela nous permet de faire de la street photography, en shootant de face, sans même que les sujets ne se rendent compte de quoi que ce soit :-))) Faut avouer que j’étais assez éloigné, j'avais dégainé le fabuleux 75mm (éq 150mm) qui déchire tout !! :-)))
I THINK that is the purpose of these towers. Against a very blue and breezy sky. Nice to remember, when it’s hot and hazy.
