Scammell Contractor I spotted sitting around Wingfield. Looks like it was a prime mover, and it's running a Cummins NTA400 under the hood.

This Leyland Clydesdale does not seem to be fairing well regarding rust resistance. UTC 440M is a typical yellow nameless contractors vehicle. The Leyland Clydesdale was registerd15/03/1974 and it's last liability was 01/03 1992. The location of the picture is Logbridge Island at the junction of Bristol Road South and Lickey Road, as ever with road repairs minor mayhem is caused to the traffic.

Class 47 number 47120 heads westbound through Woodley station on 27 May 1988 with the Pedigree Pet Foods train. To the right of the second container is the remains of line that once went through to Stockport Tiviot Dale station, and on to Manchester Central, now GMEX. Tiviot Dale station eventually closed on 2 January 1967 but freight continued to run along the line until contractors building the M63 (now M60) motorway "accidentally" damaged the roof of the tunnel just off the West end of the platform at Tiviot Dale causing a temporary closure of the route which soon became permanent. Since the closure of the Woodhead route in July 1981, British Rail had been looking for an excuse to close this section of line and this "mishap" was just what they had needed. This was once a very busy junction station with an almost endless precession of coal trains coming to/from the Yorkshire coalfields to the power station at Fiddlers Ferry, but Woodley station is now a shadow of its former self with an hourly service from Manchester Piccadilly to/from Marple Rose Hill and very little freight it's now a very quiet and lonely place indeed!
We have so many cicadas from Brood X around our pin oak trees that we had to hire a clean-up crew to get rid of them.
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) can't cope with the load being put upon it. EMAS has faced criticism for missing some response time targets.
Extract from here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23620394
"A surge in the use of private ambulances has been defended by East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS). In 2010/11, 12 emergency journeys were handled by private vehicles but this jumped to 246 in 2012/13, with the cost rising from £638,000 to £3.5m. Bosses at EMAS said private firms had to meet high standards and allowed the service to cope with peaks in demand. But Unison said it was vital that money was invested in the NHS rather than given to outside firms."
So enter the contractors... Amvale Medical Services.
This is is regular sight at the "Ibis Budget" (£38 per night). Amvale accommodate out of area crews here over night. The line up normally includes Paramedic cars also.
Other Ambulance contractors have been keeping costs to a minimum by camping... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23592852
A whistleblower said staff were camping because the £35 a day to cover food and board when working away from home was not enough to pay for a hotel room.
Meantime at EMAS headquarters, they have lost a disk containing 42,000 records of ambulance patients:

Of course this all a waste of time if there isn't enough capacity at the A&E department isn't it?

The Grade II Listed former St Marks Railway Station which has been converted into a St Marks Shopping centre, off the High Street in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Built in 1846 by Midland Railway and Lincoln's first railway station opening in 3rd August 1846. The architect is unknown but it may have been I A Davies of the Midland Railway. The building contractor was John Burton under the charge of the line engineer W H Barlow. Two platforms originally c 90m long, later extended, covered by double roof resting on side walls and supported by iron columns between rails. Four tracks, the inner two being sidings. Station was terminus until 1848 when end-on joining to Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway necessitated level crossing across High Street. Building was originally lit by gas. Roof was removed in April 1957, with a canopy erected over part of north platform. A small waiting room was placed on south platform. Station buildings were on the north platform. Entrance via steps through prostyle portico supported on Ionic style columns. At rear of portico and at east and west extremities of exterior are Doric style pilasters. A turntable was situated on the south side from c1870 to at least 1930s.
To save duplication of operating two stations in 1985 the station closed when services were diverted to the nearby Lincoln Central station. The construction of a new 80 metre length of track to the west allowed services from Newark to reach Lincoln Central. The grand ionic portico that was once the entrance has been preserved and, as of January 2007, is home to Lakeland Limited as part of the commercial development of the site. A mock signalbox has also been erected in the car park on which has been affixed an original sign from the station. The remainder of the former station site is now St. Marks Shopping Centre. The redevelopment in keeping with the preserved buildings won an Ian Allan heritage award in 2009, commemorated by a plaque.

A second visit to the Singapore flyer in 2 consective day...
Today with Kenny and Joseph for this great ride and the oporturnities for capturing the singapore landscape on a different perspective..
The rain threathen our visit but we still persists on it.Having boarding the ride too early(6:45pm) on my prior visit, we decided to board it 7pm. The skyline greet us warmly once we descend from the peak of the ride...The sky was pretty dark and it was a technical challenge to take a good shot...The technical challenge are listed but not limted as below...
1)The challenge of getting a correct exposure (ISO/Shutter speed/Aperture) with reasonable noise and clear shot as the flyers rotate.
2)The irratating light reflection within the cabin that will appear so often in the photos
3)The water droplet left by the rain.
4)The search of composition of photo in the limited space and different angle while flyer being rotated
Overall , it was a good experience as 3 crazy photography enthusiast running around the small cabin while being raised to 165m above the ground.I also learnt to accept my D7000 noise level;too used to shooting at iso 100 and having clean image.Most importantly , the skills to adapt and knowing what to do to trigger the shutter
in the weirdest kind of siutation.
Cheers and enjoy !

Marina Bay Sands (traditional Chinese: 濱海灣金沙; simplified Chinese: 滨海湾金沙) is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. Developed by Las Vegas Sands, it is billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion, including cost of the prime land.[1][2]
With the casino complete, the resort features a 2,561-room hotel, a 1,300,000-square-foot (120,000 m2) convention-exhibition centre, the 800,000-square-foot (74,000 m2) The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands mall, an iconic ArtScience museum, two large theatres, seven "celebrity chef" restaurants, two floating Crystal Pavilions, an ice skating rink, and the world's largest atrium casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines. The complex is topped by a 340m-long SkyPark with a capacity of 3,900 people and a 150m infinity swimming pool, set on top of the world's largest public cantilevered platform, which overhangs the north tower by 67m.[3][4] The 20-hectare resort was designed by Moshe Safdie Architects. The local architect of record was Aedas Singapore, and engineering was provided by Arup and Parsons Brinkerhoff (MEP). The main contractor was Ssangyong Engineering and Construction.[5]
Originally set to open in 2009, Las Vegas Sands faced delays caused by escalating costs of material and labour shortages from the onset. The severe global financial crisis also pressured the company to delay its projects elsewhere to complete the integrated resort.[6] Although Marina Bay Sands has been compared on scale and development costs to MGM's CityCenter, the latter is a mixed-use development, with condominium properties (comprising three of the seven main structures) being sold off.[7][8]
The resort was officially opened with a two-day celebration on 23 June 2010 at 3.18 pm, after a partial opening (which included the casino) on 27 April 2010.[9] The SkyPark opened a day later on 24 June 2010. The theatres were completed in time for the first performance by Riverdance on 30 November 2010. The floating pavilions are still being built and are expected to be fully completed by 2011. The indoor skating rink, which uses artificial ice, opened to a performance by Michelle Kwan on 18 December 2010. The ArtScience Museum opened to the public and the debut of a 13-minute light, laser and water spectacle called Wonder Full on 19 February 2011 marked the full completion of the entire Integrated Resort.
The grand opening of Marina Bay Sands was held on 17 February 2011. It also marked the opening of the seven celebrity chef restaurants. The highly-anticipated Broadway musical The Lion King debuted on 3 March 2011.[10] The last portion of the Marina Bay Sands, the floating pavilions, were finally opened to the public when the two tenants (Louis Vuitton and Pangaea Club) opened on 18 September 2011 and 22 September 2011 respectively.

The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel located in Singapore, constructed in 2005–2008. Described by its operators as an observation wheel,[2] it reaches 42 stories high, with a total height of 165 m (541 ft), making it the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, 5 m (16 ft) taller than the Star of Nanchang and 30 m (98 ft) taller than the London Eye.
Situated on the southeast tip of the Marina Centre reclaimed land, it comprises a 150 m (492 ft) diameter wheel, built over a three-story terminal building which houses shops, bars and restaurants, and offers broad views of the city centre and beyond to about 45 km (28 mi), including the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan, as well as Johor, Malaysia.
The final capsule was installed on 2 October 2007, the wheel started rotating on 11 February 2008 and it officially opened to the public on 1 March 2008.[1] Tickets for rides on the first 3 nights were sold out for S$8,888 (US$6,271), an auspicious number in Chinese culture.[2] The grand opening for the Flyer was held on 15 April 2008.[3]
Each of the 28 air-conditioned capsules is capable of holding 28 passengers, and a complete rotation of the wheel takes about 30 minutes.[4] Initially rotating in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from Marina Centre, its direction was changed on 4 August 2008 under the advice of Feng shui masters.[5]
