The railway arrived in 1930 in Bobo-Dioulasso and then in 1954 in Ouagadougou. It was initially operated by the Régie Abidjan-Niger (RAN) from 1960 to 1989 before being taken over by SITARAIL (Bolloré Group) in 1995. Despite an ambitious project to connect the different countries of the sub-region by the rail network, almost nothing lasting has been achieved to date apart from two sections currently abandoned.
The first is a section which was to connect Niamey to Parakou, then to the Beninese network, started in 2013 and decommissioned in 2018, which was limited to around a hundred kilometres within Niger.
The second is an ambitious project carried out by the Burkinabe people under the revolutionary regime of Captain Thomas SANKARA (1983-1987). This involved extending the Abidjan-Ouagadougou line towards Niger by serving the Tambao phosphate mines. If the platform was built over most of the distance, the rails could only be laid over a hundred kilometres to reach Kaya. The railway nevertheless operated for several years before being abandoned following the deterioration of specific watercourse crossing structures. Operation of this line is currently limited to the Kossodo industrial zone on the northeastern outskirts of Ouagadougou.
However, this infrastructure could arouse new interest because it passes close to the future Donsin International Airport. Establishing a rail service to avoid traffic jams would be an avenue to explore, primarily as the work to be carried out would be limited.
Le chemin de fer est arrivé en 1930 à Bobo-Dioulasso puis en 1954 à Ouagadougou. Il était initialement exploité par la Régie Abidjan-Niger (RAN) de 1960 à 1989 avant d'être reprise par SITARAIL (Goupe Bolloré) en 1995. Malgré un ambitieux projet de relier les différents pays de la sous-région par le réseau ferré, quasiment rien de durable n'a été réalisé jusqu'à ce jour en dehors de deux tronçons actuellement à l'abandon.
Le premier est un tronçon qui devait relier Niamey à Parakou puis au réseau béninois entamé en 2013 et mis hors service en 2018 qui s'est limité à une centaine de kilomètres au sein du Niger.
Le second est un projet ambitieux réalisé par le peuple burkinabé sous le régime révolutionnaire du Capitaine Thomas SANKARA (1983-1987). Il s'agissait de prolonger la ligne Abidjan-Ouagadougou vers le Niger en desservant les mines de phosphate de Tambao. Si le terreplein a été réalisé sur une majeure parte de la distance, les rails n'ont pu être posés que sur une centaine de kilomètres pour atteindre Kaya. Le chemin de fer a néanmoins fonctionné durant un certain nombre d'années avant d'être abandonné suite à la dégradation de certains ouvrages de franchissement de cours d'eau. L'exploitation de cet ligne se limite actuellement à la zone industrielle de Kossodo dans la périphérie nord-est de Ouagadougou.
Pourtant, cette infrastructure pourrait susciter un nouvel intérêt du fait qu'elle passe à proximité du futur aéroport international de Donsin. La mise en place d'une desserte ferroviaire qui permettrait d'éviter les embouteillages serait une piste à explorer, d'autant que les travaux à réaliser seraient limités.
Finally caught up with 66731, after being reliveried into a special scheme for the NHS, as well as naming after Captain Tom Moore. Seen with 465910 on 5X89 Slade Green to Doncaster, passing Chiltern Green.

To explain this picture I will better start from the beginning. Well I was watching Styling Forward yesterday and they get a challenge for next week what I liked a lot and even I am not in this contest I like challenges a lot. So I decided for myself I do this one just for fun.
The challenge was "Superhero" and may some have a superhero in mind like a girl in very tight short pants and a cape and maybe some with big boobs also, but for me a superhero is someone very tough even if it is a woman. Superheros are fighter, protector and I tried to create my view of a superhero with this kind of mystique, darkness and a bit creepy around her.
My character is named "Isais the Hunter" as she protect all human from creatures out of the hell who comes up to rule the world in their way.
Isais is born out of exactly that what she tries to destroy now. She is a creature out of the hell but with a human mother. As all heros have a little helper, hers is the dead dragon Makrok on her shoulder to give her tips and sometimes the right decision also. And as it is in comics, of course he is talking to much^^
Isais weapons are her power who are more strong then of a normal human, her titanium katanas what she always wears on her left hip with skulls at the end and her, she calls it her "Babies", the Sickles what she wears on her back if she don´t need them.
As I know that this challenge is next week I will not write some credits below. So it is just a picture to watch and to enjoy :D

I was going to title this one "working the room" but thought that might imply something less than honorable so I'm not going to call it "working the room"
I can't recall where this illustration came from. It might be a detail from a magazine story or possibly an ad. Going thru some old stuff and seeing what I've saved.

Back in the good old days of Network and Go2, maroon line served Beeston and Chilwell while orange line served Bulwell, Beeston, Chilwell, the QMC and the University of Nottingham.
The entire maroon colour was under the 'network' umbrella, the secondary routes, usually at lower frequencies that split off from the core Go2 routes to serve various areas. The colours were determined by which route the line took out of the city, rather than where the routes ended up, which meant orderly colour lines left the city in the same direction, while at outer termini a collection of routes would belong to a variety of colours. This is how come Beeston and Chilwell got served by maroon, orange and at one time pink line buses, as they left the city by different road corridors.
The 37 used to go all the way to Beeston Bus Station. Handily, the Scania already has 37 on the side and rear destination screens. I may go over them, I may not. The 37 shared buses with the 35 as far as I am aware, with Wright bodied vehicles mixing with Scania Omnicities. At some point the Wrights were disposed of and the 37 shortened to the QMC, where Optare Solos took over and the Omnicities kept to the 35, which went a very long way round to Bulwell.
In the mean time, maroon line buses exited the city to the south west, as opposed to the orange line exiting via the north west.
It pretty much went under Beeston town centre until it got to the middle, where it went up Station Road and came out right in the centre. Although I think there was a maroon line 12 for a while, I remember the routes 13 and 14. The 13 finished in Beeston, though it sometimes seemed it finished at Dennis Avenue while sometimes it seemed to finish at the bus station. The 14 continued to Chilwell using the same route as the 36, but when the 36 changed its route the 14 remained the same, taking in more of the housing estate which the 36 had abandoned in favour of the high road and other more major roads.
My earliest memories of it are when Optare Solos ran the route, later replaced by Scania Omnitowns, but I have some pictures of East Lancs bodied Scanias that I bought from NHV's shop and they are maroon branded for routes 13 and 14. Maroon line got killed off in about 2014. The tram wasn't running then but Yourbus was and for some reason, although it provided a quicker route to and from the southern side of the city, and a more direct route from Beeston then the 36, the 30min routes 13 and 14 (combined frequency of 15 mins from Beeston) got axed, while the 36 got new buses. Even the Yourbus got new buses.
So here are my models of the Beeston route buses, slowly progressing. The Wright Scania is not too far from completion but the East Lancs has a way to go as I need to do some work on the windows and the rear end, as the model started life as a dual door Leyland National. I added the lights as I got a bit fed up with it looking too much like a National without them.
