AUBAGNE, a town of 46,000 inhabitants situated east of Marseille, inaugurated its first light rail line on September 1st 2014.
Like the town's bus network, no fares are charged for travel on the tram line, making it the first free-to-use light rail system in France and one of the first in Europe.
The 2.7km line has seven stations and links the main line station in Aubagne with Charrel. Construction began in early 2013 and the project had a budget of €166m including rolling stock.
Services operate at 10-minute intervals using a fleet of 10 Citadis Compact low-floor LRVs. The 22m-long three-section vehicles accommodate up to 125 passengers.
The Urban Community of Pays d'Aubagne et de l'Etoile decided in April that it would not proceed with construction of the second or third phase of the network, although the community's president Mrs Sylvia Barthélémy announced at the opening ceremony that the municipal government will study the reopening of the 14km Valdonne railway north of Aubagne as a light rail line.
The proposed line would serve an area with a population of 60,000, linking Aubagne with Roquevaire, Auriol, La Destrouse, and La Bouilladisse. At present there are around 18,000 car journeys a day on the road between Aubagne and La Bouilladisse, and 110,000 vehicles per day use the motorway linking the area with Marseille.
These newly built dwellings at Thetford make a refreshing change from the usual mean little "traditional" modern houses, with their sub-Georgian embellishments, cubicle-like rooms and allocated parking. I know a chap who lives a few yards from here. He told me they were going for an "affordable" £120,000. Hmmm. Wouldn't mind one myself. The signboards say that one is sold and one remains for sale. Yet the website says that the agents are property management consultants acting on behalf of landlords. Can't quite work that one out.
My only complaint would be that the ground floor front is all window. This is another example ...habit dies hard... of an architect giving his "end users" what he thinks they ought to have, rather than what they actually want. We're all familiar with the dogma that interiors should be "light" and "airy" and that the inside of the house should merge with the outside. But these are abstractions. Human beings require privacy, retreat, "defensible space" and refuge from the world's scrutiny. Top-to-bottom windows might do on the garden front, but nobody wants to live in a goldfish bowl. The new owners of the three occupied houses have already had to spend a pretty penny on net curtains.
Compact is a neat little studs up font. Basic, but gets the job done. Perfect for signing mosaics.

Yep, it's another ray gun! I found some old diesel fuel injectors for sale at Daresbury Steam Fair and couldn't resist their finned look. I bought two, one of which forms the barrel of this ray pistol; an old electric drill, also from Daresbury, provided the grip. As you can see from this 'work in progress' shot, the body is held together by a length of M6 threaded rod that runs the length of the gun. Turned plywood disks that are a push fit inside the body provide reinforcement and help to keep everything concentric.
Camera : Olympus Trip 35 compact
Film : Cinestill 800T (Kodak Vision 3 movie film / Kodak Eastman 5219T)
Shutter Speed : 1/40th sec
F stop : f2.8
Development: Digibase C41, 3 stage home kit.
I shot this roll of Cinestill film using my classic Olympus Trip 35 compact camera. It has a f2.8 to f22, 40mm Zuiko lens, and is entirely mechanical requiring no batteries. It relies on a light sensitive element to either select 1/40th or 1/200th of a second exposure based on the film speed setting and light available.
By using this camera and taking it off “A” auto the camera is in manual and intended for the use of a flash gun. The shutter speed is set to 1/40th and you are free to choose an f stop manually based on the recommendation of the flash instructions, with Cinestill there was no flash required and the film speed setting was ignored.
I decided to do this to see what the small Zukio optics could manage in various light conditions including night time, with the fixed 1/40th sec f2.8 the exposures are entirely the down to the flexibility of the film itself.
I developed it myself using a Firstcall Photographic supplied Digibase C41 kit, and using an old Agfa Rondinax 35U daylight tank, you can see how do this yourself here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6e4Kl41OKU
I extended the development time slightly from 3m15s to 4m, with a 4m bleach stage, and 5m fix stage.
Images have been scanned with a Plustek Optic film 8100 at 3600dpi. I have never yet found any of the Plustek suggested settings for each film type to be realistic however for Cinestill the Fuji Pro films seem to offer a pleasing result.
I am only aware of one UK supplier for Cinestill which is Firstcall Photographic in Taunton, drop them a line.
Enjoy!
