Lothian Country X17 service is now being operated by double deckers whilst the single deckers return to Livingston Locals.
Lothian Country 594 at Haymarket on Route X17 to Livingston. 10th June 2019.
New signals, switches and associated other hardware make the scene at UD Tower in Joliet. Even new trains, such as manifest MPRAS-28 pass through the new place, as UP squeezes more capacity out of the former GM&O to St. Louis.
View of the village of Navacerrada from this viewpoint, where I enjoyed peaceful moments watching the arrival of a new night in this beautiful corner of the Sierra de Guadarrama.
From this perspective, you can see practically the entire reservoir, which this year we are fortunate to enjoy with very good water reserves, approximately 70% of its total capacity.
Believe me when I tell you that while I was taking the photo, I could only enjoy the songs of some birds, which added even more beauty to the moment.
I hope you like it.
Happy Wednesday, with my best wishes always.

Navacerrada dando la bienvenida a una nueva noche, Navacerrada, Madrid, España
Vista del pueblo de Navacerrada desde este mirador en el cual disfruté de apacibles momentos observando la llegada de una nueva noche en este bello rincón de la Sierra de Guadarrama.
Desde esta perspectiva se distingue prácticamente todo el embalse, que este año tenemos la suerte de disfrutar con muy buenas reservas de agua, aproximadamente al 70% de su capacidad total.
Creedme si os digo que mientras tomaba la foto podía disfrutar únicamente del canto de algunas aves, que aportaban aún más belleza al momento.
Espero que os guste.
Feliz miércoles, con mis mejores deseos siempre.

With it now 5 months since lockdown restrictions were implemented due to COVID-19, airlines are very slowly starting to see demand returning although this maybe scuppered in part due to spikes in cases being reported.
For Finnair, the carrier was supposed to be operating 7 daily or 49 weekly flights for the S20 schedule with 2 wide-body (one Airbus A350-900 in the morning and one Airbus A330-300 in the evening) and 5 narrow-body flights providing the work. That hasn't happened as capacity has significantly dropped with only 15 weekly flights being provided with Airbus A321s being utilised.
Prior to this, Airbus A330-300s became a common sight at London Heathrow following the W18 schedule whereby between 19th November 2018 to 23rd November 2018, Airbus A330-300s replaced Airbus A350-900s on Monday and Friday, and later from 30th November 2018 until 15th March 2019, Airbus A330-300s operated on Fridays only with Airbus A350-900s operating for the rest of the week on AY1331/1332.
For the S19 schedule, Airbus A330-300s got their own dedicated flight from 31st March 2019 when AY1337/1338 was converted from Airbus A320 family aircraft whilst AY1331/1332 retained Airbus A350-900s on all days although Airbus A330-300s would often substitute.
Now, Finnair is only providing a skeleton service between London Heathrow and Helsinki with only 15 weekly flights provided by Airbus A320 family aircraft, mainly Airbus A321s. The vast majority of their Airbus A330-300s are currently in storage at Helsinki whilst their Airbus A350-900s see work providing cargo and limited commercial flights on long-haul sectors.
Currently, Finnair have 8 Airbus A330s, all of which are Airbus A330-300s. So far, 7 out of 8 Airbus A330-300s are currently in short-term storage.
Lima Tango November is one of 8 Airbus A330-300s currently in Finnair fleet, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 24th April 2009, later leased from Novus Aviation Capital between March 2014 until March 2019 where her lease transferred from DVB Bank and she is powered by 2 General Electric CF6-80E1A4 engines. She has not operated a commercial flight since 11th March 2020 and is currently in storage at Helsinki-Vantaa.

Light in the physical is beauty ...
Light in the vital is capacity ...
Light in the mind is glory ...
Light in the heart is victory!
... that's to say, in theory. This will end with spilled seed.

I really didn't know which of my two shots look better so I uploaded both
If you were to go back 11 years, Edwards Coaches were operating four Dennis Tridents on school contracts and on the UniHall contract for Cardiff University. Three carried Alexander ALX400 bodies and a single example was fitted with Plaxton President bodywork.
Their additional seating capacity also made them ideal for operation on Service 400E (Gwaun Miskin-Beddau-Llantwit Fardre-Church Village-Treforest Industrial Estate-Cardiff) on Saturdays in November and December, particularly if Wales was playing an International Match at home.
Y8 EDW was one of the ALX400s, having been new to London United in dual-door configuration as SN53 KJV. She was acquired by Edwards from Holmeswood Coaches in September 2013 and has been fitted with a set of dual-purpose seats.
This November 2014 shot of her was taken at the Upper Boat Roundabout when heading to Cardiff with a good load.
Stagecoach is expecting higher demand than ever this year from Christmas shoppers looking to travel between the retail hubs in Liverpool and Cheshire. In order to accommodate this, the company has swapped out some of its Alexander Dennis Enviro300 single deck buses on its 1 service for ADL Enviro400 double deck buses.
It was proposed that a second Scania Omnilink was to join 24004 from Fife but so far this has not materialised and instead Olympus 16946 is seen here taking a turn on the JET 727.
RATP London Sovereign VHR45208 (LJ66EZU) approaches Harrow Town Centre heading towards Hatch End during the first afternoon of the newly introduced afternoon double deck peak workings on route H14.
In September 2016, a morning double deck peak bus working was added to the H14 schedule, and a year later this has been followed by an afternoon peak bus.
Taking advantage of the newly stocked platform feeder, this Blue Jay filled his gular pouch, his throat and his beak with nuts before flying off to cache them. The gular pouch is a stretchy sac attached to the lower part of a Blue Jay’s beak. With this pouch a Blue Jay can carry as many as five small acorns. Other birds with gular sacs include pelicans and cormorants.

All four main tracks of Norfolk Southern's Fort Wayne Line are being put to good use here at East Conway. It'll only get busier after the sun sets.
A slow day after a works Christmas do yesterday and my planned trip to York was scuppered by rail strikes. Looking at RTT there was a 4H89 Hams Hall to Hillhead Sidings. I'd not been to this location since the sidings were installed increasing the capacity for loading.
I timed my arrival around the time 6H52 13:05 Dowlow Briggs to Ashburys was due to leave.

This is the front view of my SHIPtember 2020 project.
Route 31 can be a fairly busy route connecting East Craigs and Corstorphine in the west and heading south towards Lasswade, Bonnyrigg and Polton Mill.
Hopefully a sign that XLB's could become a more regular sight on this route maybe. Lothian City 1082 almost at the end of its working to East Craigs. 07th April 2019.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), also known locally as "The 'G", is an Australian sports stadium located in Yarra Park, Melbourne, Victoria. Founded and managed by the Melbourne Cricket Club, it is the largest stadium in the Southern Hemisphere, the 11th largest globally, and the second largest cricket ground by capacity. The MCG is within walking distance of the city centre and is served by Richmond and Jolimont railway stations, as well as the route 70, route 75, and route 48 trams. It is adjacent to Melbourne Park and is part of the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct.
Since it was built in 1853, the MCG has undergone numerous renovations. It served as the centerpiece stadium of the 1956 Summer Olympics, the 2006 Commonwealth Games and two Cricket World Cups: 1992 and 2015. It will also serve as the host for the opening ceremonies of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Noted for its role in the development of international cricket, the MCG hosted both the first Test match and the first One Day International, played between Australia and England in 1877 and 1971 respectively. It has also maintained strong ties with Australian rules football since its codification in 1859, and has become the principal venue for Australian Football League (AFL) matches, including the AFL Grand Final, the world's highest attended league championship event. It is set to hold the Grand Final for the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Home to the Australian Sports Museum, the MCG has hosted other major sporting events, including international rules football matches between Australia and Ireland, international rugby union matches, State of Origin (rugby league) games, and FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Concerts and other cultural events are also held at the venue with the record attendance standing at 143,750 for a Billy Graham evangelistic crusade in 1959. Grandstand redevelopments and occupational health and safety legislation have limited the maximum seating capacity to approximately 95,000 with an additional 5,000 standing room capacity, bringing the total capacity to 100,024.
The MCG is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and was included on the Australian National Heritage List in 2005. In 2003, journalist Greg Baum called it "a shrine, a citadel, a landmark, a totem" that "symbolises Melbourne to the world".
The MCG is built atop a Wurundjeri camping ground and site of numerous corroborees.[9] Founded in November 1838 the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) selected the current MCG site in 1853 after previously playing at several grounds around Melbourne. The club's first game was against a military team at the Old Mint site, at the corner of William and La Trobe Streets. Burial Hill (now Flagstaff Gardens) became its home ground in January 1839, but the area was already set aside for Botanical Gardens and the club was moved on in October 1846, to an area on the south bank of the Yarra about where the Herald & Weekly Times building is today. The area was subject to flooding, forcing the club to move again, this time to a ground in South Melbourne.
It was not long before the club was forced out again, this time because of the expansion of the railway. The South Melbourne ground was in the path of Victoria's first steam railway line from Melbourne to Sandridge (now Port Melbourne). Governor La Trobe offered the MCC a choice of three sites; an area adjacent to the existing ground, a site at the junction of Flinders and Spring Streets or a ten-acre section of the Government Paddock at Richmond next to Richmond Park.
Between European settlement in 1835 and the early 1860s, this last option, which is now Yarra Park, was known as the Government or Police Paddock and served as a large agistment area for the horses of the Mounted Police, Border Police and Native Police. The north-eastern section also housed the main barracks for the Mounted Police in the Port Phillip district. In 1850 it was part of a 200-acre stretch set aside for public recreation extending from Governor La Trobe's Jolimont Estate to the Yarra River. By 1853 it had become a busy promenade for Melbourne residents.
An MCC sub-committee chose the Richmond Park option because it was level enough for cricket but sloped enough to prevent inundation. That ground was located where the Richmond, or outer, end of the current MCG is now.
At the same time the Richmond Cricket Club was given occupancy rights to six acres for another cricket ground on the eastern side of the Government Paddock.
In 1861, a board of trustees was appointed to be responsible for the ground. Over the first forty years, most of the trustees were appointed by the MCC, giving the cricket club relative autonomy over the use of the ground. In 1906, the state governments' Lands ministry appointed five new trustees, putting the government-appointed trustees in the majority; and the government has appointed and overseen the trust since. This gives the state government, via the trust, a level of control over the ground's use.
At the time of the land grant, the Government stipulated that the ground was to be used for cricket and cricket only. This condition technically remained until 1933 when the Melbourne Cricket Ground Act 1933 widened its allowable uses. The 1933 act has been replaced by separate acts in 1989 and 2009.
In 1863, a corridor of land running diagonally across Yarra Park was granted to the Melbourne & Hobson's Bay Railway Company and divided Yarra Park from the river. The Mounted Police barracks were operational until the 1880s when it was subdivided into the current residential precinct bordered by Vale Street. The area closest to the river was also developed for sporting purposes in later years including Olympic venues in 1956.
The first grandstand at the MCG was the original wooden members' stand built in 1854, while the first public grandstand was a 200-metre long 6000-seat temporary structure built in 1861. Another grandstand seating 2000, facing one way to the cricket ground and the other way to the park where football was played, was built in 1876 for the 1877 visit of James Lillywhite's English cricket team. It was during this tour that the MCG hosted the world's first Test match.
In 1881, the original members' stand was sold to the Richmond Cricket Club for £55. A new brick stand, considered at the time to be the world's finest cricket facility, was built in its place. The foundation stone was laid by Prince George of Wales and Prince Albert Victor on 4 July and the stand opened in December that year. It was also in 1881 that a telephone was installed at the ground, and the wickets and goal posts were changed from an east–west orientation to north–south. In 1882 a scoreboard was built which showed details of the batsman's name and how he was dismissed.
When the Lillywhite tour stand burned down in 1884 it was replaced by a new stand which seated 450 members and 4500 public. In 1897, second-storey wings were added to 'The Grandstand', as it was known, increasing capacity to 9,000. In 1900 it was lit with electric light.
More stands were built in the early 20th century. An open wooden stand was on the south side of the ground in 1904 and the 2084-seat Grey Smith Stand (known as the New Stand until 1912) was erected for members in 1906. The 4000-seat Harrison Stand on the ground's southern side was built in 1908 followed by the 8000-seat Wardill Stand in 1912. In the 15 years after 1897 the grandstand capacity at the ground increased to nearly 20,000, while the full ground capacity was almost 60,000.
In 1927, the second brick members' stand was replaced at a cost of £60,000. The Harrison and Wardill Stands were demolished in 1936 to make way for the Southern Stand which was completed in 1937. The Southern Stand seated 18,200 under cover and 13,000 in the open and was the main public area of the MCG. The maximum capacity of the ground under this configuration, as advised by the Health Department, was 84,000 seated and 94,000 standing.
The Northern Stand, also known as the Olympic Stand, was built to replace the old Grandstand for the 1956 Olympic Games. By Health Department regulations, this was to increase the stadium's capacity to 120,000; although this was revised down after the 1956 VFL Grand Final, which could not comfortably accommodate its crowd of 115,802. Ten years later, the Grey Smith Stand and the open concrete stand next to it were replaced by the Western Stand; the Duke of Edinburgh laid a foundation stone for the Western Stand on 3 March 1967, and it was completed in 1968; in 1986, it was renamed the W.H. Ponsford Stand in honour of Victorian batsman Bill Ponsford. This was the stadium's highest capacity configuration, and the all-time record crowd for a sporting event at the venue of 121,696 was set under this configuration in the 1970 VFL Grand Final.
The MCG was the home of Australia's first full colour video scoreboard, which replaced the old scoreboard in 1982, located on Level 4 of the Western Stand, which notably caught fire in 1999 and was replaced in 2000. A second video screen added in 1994 almost directly opposite, on Level 4 of the Olympic stand. In 1985, light towers were installed at the ground, allowing for night football and day-night cricket games.
In 1988, inspections of the old Southern Stand found concrete cancer and provided the opportunity to replace the increasingly run-down 50-year-old facility. The projected cost of $100 million was outside what the Melbourne Cricket Club could afford so the Victorian Football League took the opportunity to part fund the project in return for a 30-year deal to share the ground. The new Great Southern Stand was completed in 1992, in time for the 1992 Cricket World Cup, at a final cost of $150 million. It was renamed the Shane Warne Stand after Victorian bowler Shane Warne in 2022 shortly after his death.
The 1928 Members' stand, the 1956 Olympic stand and the 1968 W.H Ponsford stand were demolished one by one between late 2003 to 2005 and replaced with a new structure in time for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Despite now standing as a single unbroken stand, the individual sections retain the names of W.H. Ponsford, Olympic and Members Stands. The redevelopment cost exceeded A$400 million and pushed the ground's capacity to just above 100,000. Since redevelopment, the highest attendance has been 100,022 at the 2018 AFL Grand Final.
From 2011 until 2013, the Victoria State Government and the Melbourne Cricket Club funded a $55 million refurbishment of the facilities in the Great Southern Stand, including renovations to entrance gates and ticket outlets, food and beverage outlets, etc., without significantly modifying the stand. New scoreboards, more than twice the size of the original ones, were installed in the same positions in late 2013.
From November 2019 until February 2020 all the playing field lights, including those in the light towers, were replaced with LED sports lighting with the lighting under the roof and in two of the light towers completed in time for the Boxing Day Test against New Zealand.
Mercedes CapaCity | 397 Amsterdam Elandsgracht - Nieuw-Vennep

Due to the electrification of route 397, this week is the last week for the CapaCity buses on this route.
Officially designated 'MTAPC' (Multi-Terrain Amoured Personnel Carrier), the MTAPC was likened to a Bull due to its thickset and muscular appearance; thus the name stuck. It was designed and built by German manufacturer Strauss Kinetisch in 2016 for the purpose of providing Security Forces a cost-effective, fast, and maneuverable Armoured Personnel Carrier. It is now used globally, notably by UNIST. The model pictured is a MTAPC-16 used by UNIST personnel in Urban combat situations, hence the white paint-scheme.
The 'Bull' MTAPC is relatively lightly armed, and can be fitted with either one M2HB Machine Gun or one GMG. It has a capacity of up to ten persons, including a driver and passenger.
Was going to be an entry for the Brickarms Tremendous Technical contest, but I literally finished this as the deadline passed. The cabin was an absolute bitch to do. So many techniques at play that I've never used before. Oh, and the rear door opens out into a ramp for embarkation/disembarkation.
Perhaps this hints at some Modern Conflict related stuff in the near future? :3
The Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal, originally Cincinnati Union Terminal, is a mixed-use complex in the Queensgate neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Once a major passenger train station, it went into sharp decline during the postwar decline of railroad travel. Most of the building was converted to other uses, and now houses museums, theaters, and a library, as well as special travelling exhibitions. Since 1991, it has been used as a train station once again.
Built in 1933, it is a monumental example of Art Deco architecture, for which it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
Cincinnati was a major center of railroad traffic in the late 19th and early 20th century, especially as an interchange point between railroads serving the Northeastern and Midwestern states with railroads serving the South. However, intercity passenger traffic was split among no fewer than five stations in Downtown Cincinnati, requiring the many travelers who changed between railroads to navigate local transit themselves. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which operated through sleepers with other railroads, was forced to split its operations between two stations. Proposals to construct a union station began as early as the 1890s, and a committee of railroad executives formed in 1912 to begin formal studies on the subject, but a final agreement between all seven railroads that served Cincinnati and the city itself would not come until 1928, after intense lobbying and negotiations, led by Philip Carey Company president George Crabbs. The seven railroads: the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad; the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway; the Louisville and Nashville Railroad; the Norfolk and Western Railway; the Pennsylvania Railroad; and the Southern Railway selected a site for their new station in the West End, near the Mill Creek.
The principal architects of the massive building were Alfred T. Fellheimer and Steward Wagner, with architects Paul Philippe Cret and Roland Wank brought in as design consultants; Cret is often credited as the building's architect, as he was responsible for the building's signature Art Deco style. The Rotunda features the largest semi-dome in the western hemisphere, measuring 180 feet (55 m) wide and 106 feet (32 m) high.
The Union Terminal Company was created to build the terminal, railroad lines in and out, and other related transportation improvements. Construction in 1928 with the regrading of the east flood plain of the Mill Creek to a point nearly level with the surrounding city, a massive effort that required 5.5 million cubic yards of landfill. Other improvements included the construction of grade separated viaducts over the Mill Creek and the railroad approaches to Union Terminal. The new viaducts the Union Terminal Company created to cross the Mill Creek valley ranged from the well built, like the Western Hills Viaduct, to the more hastily constructed and shabby, like the Waldvogel Viaduct. Construction on the terminal building itself began in 1931, with Cincinnati mayor Russell Wilson laying the mortar for the cornerstone. Construction was finished ahead of schedule, although the terminal welcomed its first trains even earlier on March 19, 1933 when it was forced into emergency operation due to flooding of the Ohio River. The official opening of the station was on March 31, 1933. The total cost of the project was $41.5 million.
During its heyday as a passenger rail facility, Cincinnati Union Terminal had a capacity of 216 trains per day, 108 in and 108 out. Three concentric lanes of traffic were included in the design of the building, underneath the main rotunda of the building: one for taxis, one for buses, and one (although never used) for streetcars. However, the time period in which the terminal was built was one of decline for train travel. By 1939, local newspapers were already describing the station as a white elephant. While it had a brief revival in the 1940s, because of World War II, it declined in use through the 1950s into the 1960s.
After the creation of Amtrak in 1971, train service at Cincinnati Union Terminal was reduced to just two trains a day, the George Washington and the James Whitcomb Riley. Amtrak abandoned Cincinnati Union Terminal the next year, opening a smaller station elsewhere in the city on October 29, 1972.
