I didn't develop this roll. It came back from the processor with way too much grain and contrast that I toned down in some of these in iPhoto. The processor said he has been having some issues with the new batch of Adox Rodinal he uses. I don't remember if I shot this roll at ISO 320 and forgot to tell him.
Lothian's buses average an age of between 5 and 6 years and our oldest vehicles, the short-wheel based Dennis Tridents, are about to be retired from normal public service as a new batch of Volvo B5LH Hybrid Gemini 3's arrive in July 2015.
At fourteen years old Trident number 619 (SN51 AYM) looks just too good to be part of the fleet group 599/600 and 608 to 627 about to be removed. Drivers agree they still have plenty of thrash and appeal left - far more so than the shabby low 7xx B7's which are not only looking tatty but beginning to wheeze in the fan area rather too loudly!
Many of the baby tridents can still be seen (though only for a little while longer) mostly on Service 14 and number 619 is photographed on Ferry Road near to Granton Road.

These were all over the La Bagh area today. I don't think I have seen any in Northern Illinois this year until now.
Seen undergoing maintenance inside the Swanwick depot is British Rail Class 20, 20007.
The Class 20 is perhaps one of the oldest diesel locomotives that still sees revenue earning work on the UK network. A simple design, but one that came to symbolise the transition from steam to diesel traction during the late 1950's and early 60's, with these flexible and versatile locomotives finding their way into all walks of life.
The roots of the Class 20 can largely be owed to many of the early diesel locomotive designs of the 1950's. As part of the Rail Modernisation Plan of 1955, an entire slew of diesel alternatives were constructed to try and replace the now very tired fleet of steam locomotives that were the backbone of the UK railway network.
The Class 20 was among the most basic designs of this period, weighing 73 tonnes, producing 1,000hp from its English Electric 8 SVT engine, and with a top speed of a reasonable 75 mph. The general principles of the locomotive were done to allow it to work anywhere steam engines were able to, ranging from small backwater branch lines to heavy mainline work. The general purpose of these engines was primarily for freight, and thus, unlike locomotives which were designed to operate passenger trains, the locomotives were not fitted with train-heating, be it through Electric Train Heating (ETH), or steam heating boilers like on the Class 40.
When the initial batch of locomotives were unveiled in 1957, these were built with flat front headcode discs, similar to that of the steam locomotives they were replacing. The disc system was replaced in 1960 by physical headcodes displayed inside boxes, and thus locomotives built after D8127 (the 127th locomotive) were fitted with square headcode boxes at either end. Perhaps the most interesting design note of the 20 is the fact that it only has a cab at one end, similar to the American GP7 and GP9. This caused early issues due to lack of visibility when operating nose first, though, in essence, it has no difference to the view a driver of a steam engine would experience with the boiler obscuring the view. The usual configuration of Class 20's in operation was to have them work in pairs, with cabs positioned at opposite ends for ease of use.
Class 20's first made an appearance in London, being based at Devons Road depot, and put to use on transfer freights across the capital. As production of these engines continued, they were allocated much further afield, starting with the Highlands of Scotland, where they operated on the tightly curved branches to the Kyle of Lochalsh, Inverness, Wick and Thurso, as well as on the mainlines via Hawick, Ardrossan and Dumfries.
Almost immediately, the class gained a reputation for sturdy reliability and ease of use, due largely to the fact that the engines were impressively basic in their design. Other early diesels were either far too complex for regular use, or were so poorly built they were unreliable, but the Class 20's easily proved their worth, and very soon the likes of early freight steam engines were relegated to the scrapyard in the wake of the 20's arrival.
Such was the success of these engines, the initial order for 128 locomotives was doubled, and after the initial production run ended in 1962, engine building was restarted in 1964, with the first of the new batch being delivered in 1966. Locomotives were regularly put on coal trains, with some engines retrofitted to make them compatible with the new electronically controlled Merry-Go-Round system (MGR), complete with new hopper wagons to replace mineral wagons that dated back to the early 20th century. Production of Class 20's would eventually end in 1968, with 228 engines delivered, making it among the most numerous class of locomotive to operate in the UK.
The Class 20's did find their way onto passenger services, but not frequently. The first use of 20's on passenger trains was to haul empty carriage stock out of Norwich station, but eventually a small batch were fitted with steam heating pipes to work with Class 37's on passenger trains in the Scottish Highlands. Other than that, Class 20 haulage is a rarity, usually reserved for railtours and, in the past, relief trains in the summer to seaside resorts such as Skegness and Great Yarmouth.
Class 20's worked solidly from the 1960's well into the 1990's, and their fleet remained strong with British Rail until the advent of locomotives such as the Class 60 in 1991. With the appearance of the 60's, many Class 20's were pensioned off their coal workings, but could still find a home hauling engineers trains. A small fleet of Class 20's even found their way into the Channel Tunnel, working alongside SNCF shunters as part of the track-laying process when the tunnel was being built in the early 1990's.
By the end of the 1990's however, Class 20's were continuing to fall in numbers. Scrapyards up and down the country were strewn with rusting husks, the fleet gradually being withdrawn as the 40 year old design began to look its age.
However, this wasn't the end for the 20's, and, even today, these versatile engines continue to earn their keep for a variety of operators. Perhaps the most notable operator of the Class 20 following privatisation in 1994 is Direct Rail Services or DRS, formerly a division of British Nuclear Fuels. Class 20's were, and still are, employed on working nuclear flask trains across the UK, with locomotives in their fleet modified with up-to-date light clusters. Today, DRS operates 8 of these locomotives, though their intention is to replace them with the arrival of the new Class 68's and 88's.
Aside from DRS, Class 20's were employed in the construction of High Speed One in the early 2000's, while another set of locomotives were put to work delivering brand new London Underground S-Stock from the Bombardier factory at Derby Litchurch Lane to Neasden in London. The Harry Needle Railroad Company (HNRC) also employs a set of 20's for occasional lease when required.
The Class 20's have also made some very distinctive runs. Between September 17th and September 25th, 1999, Class 20's numbers 20901, 902 and 903 hauled the Kosovo Train for Life from Kensington Olympia station in west London to Pristina station Kosovo via Prague, hauling with them 800 tonnes of aid for the population of the besieged region. Another Class 20, 20188, a preserved locomotive on the Nene Valley Railway, was dressed up to look like a Soviet armoured train for the 1995 James Bond film Goldeneye, though its appearance was somewhat brief and it smashed into a rather fake looking tank outside Wansford station.
Today, 22 locomotives have been preserved across the country, including class premier D8000, which is owned by the National Railway Museum at York.
Overall, the Class 20's have proven themselves time and again to be a sturdy and reliable set of locomotives that brought about the end of steam traction on majority of freight workings across the UK. While their numbers now dwindle after 60 years of operation, the locomotives are still the pride of many operators, be they the humble preserved railway, or the busy mainline operator.

First in Halifax introduced a new batch of Volvo B7RLEs into service during January of 2014; although you wouldn't have necessarily thought it! Interestingly, a majority of this batch have been in storage since their manufacture, despite being registered for the road in August 2013. Strangely enough though 4 of the 9 due for Halifax have actually been working in Rotherham until they joined their sisters for a full Halifax launch in January. But to complicated things even further, this particular vehicle, BT13 YVV, along with no doubt more of the batch, actually had First Bradford fleetnames applied before delivery from Wrightbus! Now work that one out...
A new batch of Halloween preparation. The big day is right around the corner !

VistaJet Chally 605 OE-IND rotates from Farnborough;s runway 24 in superb winter light. Looking forward to catching the new batch of five 605's that are being delivered as I type.
OK, a new batch of sensitized emulsion, this one about ISO 6, more or less. In working with it, I've come to the conclusion that I'd been underdeveloping my plates for a while. They were perfectly scannable, but printing was more difficult. Bumping up the development has made a big difference. As the weather has been a bit yucky lately (cold, snowy, slippery) I decided to work inside for a while, and have been playing around with lighting. Enjoying the effects, need to be more persuasive in getting subjects other than myself.
This one is with a shoot-through umbrella.
A couple of BZLs have been appearing on Route D8 in the past week, I thought I'd grab a ride to South Quay as I needed to complete some errands in the area. Sadly I ended up missing it at Stratford Bus Station which is a shame, once I arrived at South Quay there wasn't much time until it departed back towards Stratford, so I just ended up taking a picture of it instead, I'll get a ride one day.
I wonder if this is just a test in the waters to see how these BZLs perform on the D8, the type for the new electric buses has yet to be confirmed, I definitely wouldn't mind a new batch of these buses.
I'm quite disappointed to see that the frequency will decrease to every 15 minutes, while it's certainly not the busiest double decker route there are generally well loaded buses and patronage has increased over the past few years, this feels like a step backward and one that will most probably backfire and lead to a drop in usage.
As one set of Solos prepare to bow out of service this year, another set goes from strength to strength!!
Nottingham City Transport's V/W reg Locallink Solo numbers are set to dwindle further, with the L3, L4, L9 and L12 moving to Nottingham Community Transport from Monday 26/1/15, using a new batch of Solo EVs on 64 plates.
959 sits on Beastmarket Hill on Locallink L64 duties, whilst 263 creeps in behind unusually on the 3.
One of the new batch of ADL/Alexander Enviro200 MMCs now operating on the P13 is seen climbing Underhill Road, East Dulwich with the backdrop of Camberwell Old Cemetery. The cemetery is undergoing refurbishment with some trees removed to make way (I assume) for extra land for graves. The fence replaces an old wall.
A new batch of E6m class has fitted with face-to-face seats on the upper deck , wheel chair area and electronic parking break .
One of a new batch of 10, these have 4 speed voiths rather than the 3-speed in the 63 plate batch. They will have fleet numbers 261-270
One of a new batch of Alexander Dennis E400 MMC type buses delivered in October 2018 for First in Glasgow exclusively for route 75 Milton - Castlemilk.

I made this years ago out of 256 rubiks cubes. I would collect the cubes one at a time at garage sales and thrift store. I have a new batch of cubes piling up - but I don't seem to find them as much as I used to. Not sure what face I'll do with them!?! Probably Audrey Hepburn.
Hazy afternoon overlooking the Chrysler Building...

This photo is part of a new batch of Sony QX100 photos I have put together to accompany a blog post that describes the QX100's interface, shooting modes, and various menu options. You can read that blog post here:
Unlike the first batch of New York City photos I took with the QX100 that I posted last week which were not altered in any way, this photo and the others I am adding along with it have been edited in Lightroom.
*Taken using an iPhone 4S as the viewfinder for the Sony QX100.

The first day of revenue service for NJT's first locomotive from a new batch of ALP-45s. Secaucus, NJ.
The lowest of the new gold E400 MMCs for the X4 is 11126, and continues to stay unbranded for now at least. Currently 11126/27/28/29/30/31/32/36 out of the new batch are out leaving now just five unaccounted for; 11126/27 however do not yet have the X4 branding or Stagecoach Gold markings; St. Edmunds Street, Northampton - October 16 2018.
The second and third batches of the 24Squared pinhole cameras are now available at my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/il-en/shop/FrozenPhotonCameraCo?ref=l2-shoph...).
The cameras shoot 24mm by 24mm square images onto 35mm film. The camera's take-up reel is a recycled 35mm cassette so exposed images are always protected. This system also allows for "warm-swappable" lensboards (two are included in the Deluxe package) so you can switch from the wide angle (20mm equivalent) and normal (42mm equivalent) fields of view while only losing one frame from the roll.
Here is my 24Squared album for sample pictures (www.flickr.com/photos/129971511@N04/albums/72157702848833125)

Finally after a few guest appearances on the X6, First Bradford's new batch of Wright Streetdecks finally entered service for real on 24 July 2016. Quite why it took so long for these to enter service is unknown as there has been no real launch for these new buses. I can only speculate they wanted to leave a short gap between the removal of blue Hyperlink branded Wright Streetcars from the 72 before introducing blue buses onto the X6 which has a lot of common, albeit limited stop, sections
24 July 2016 was the date the X6 was reduced to serve Bradford to Leeds only but with a frequency increase to every ten minutes. This was part of a package of changes which saw the 72 reduced to every ten minutes between the two cities and the X63 between Bradford and Huddersfield increased to every 10 minutes to make up for the loss of the X6 through to Huddersfield.
This is 35231 seen on Bradford Road having just left Thornbury while working an X6 journey to Leeds.
I know a few folk dislike this dark blue based express livery which First uses in a number of area's but the gold areas and the style of route branding looks fantastic on these buses IMHO and even better in real life.
