Mayfield station was built alongside Piccadilly in 1910 to handle the ever increasing number of trains using the station. A short viaduct diverts away from the Piccadilly line into the terminus at Mayfield which was mainly used by suburban services to the south such as Buxton, Crewe and Macclesfield.
In the late 50s, it was used as an overspill during electrification and modernisation work at Piccadilly Station. When work was complete all trains used Piccadilly and Mayfield closed for good.
It was converted into a parcels depot in 1970 when Royal Mail constructed a sorting office on St Andrews street on the far side of Piccadilly. An overhead conveyor bridge connected the two buildings. The parcels depot was closed in 1986; Mayfield has stood silent ever since.
platform sign indicating which bullet trains were arriving next. the yellow arrows at the bottom flashed when a train was approaching. trains seemed to arrive every 5-10 minutes, and they would only stop very briefly (a couple of minutes, max).
A platform built on one side of the Sint Janskathedraal (Saint John's cathedral) in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). The platform is for the 'Wonderlijke Klim' (wondrous climb) giving visitors what might be a once in a lifetime oppurtunity to see the 96 unique sculptures on the flying butresses of the Sint Janskathedraal in (saint John's cathedral) in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). The Sint Jan is only one of four cathedrals in the world to have such sculptures. Instead of saints or angels, they depict monsters and common city people, from the architects and masons who worked on the cathedral, to beggars and musicians.
The 'wonderlijke klim' exhibition coincides with the grand Jheronymous Bosch exhibition at the Noord-Brabants Museum in Den Bosch, celebrating the 500th anniversary of the painter's death. Like the paintings of Bosch, the sculptures on the cathedral butresses are from the late middle ages, and depict monsters and common folk, which was a new theme in art at that time. Art from the early and high middle ages often depicted saints, angels and biblical scenes, but certainly not the common workfolk or even beggars. To have them adorning the outside of the cathedral no less, is very unique, and something that could only have been concieved in that particular time and place. Apparently, Jheronymous Bosch personally knew the artist very well who designed these sculptures.
The library is experimenting with new gigabit applications and developing use cases for a long distance collaboration platform called LoLa. LoLa stands for Low Latency, as in almost zero lag betweens locations. Performers feel as if they are standing 20 feet apart, despite the hundreds of miles between them during the performance.
As a part of Chattanooga Start Up Week, The Chattanooga Public Library hosted the global musical leaders with the 2016 OneBeat Fellowship, the world’s foremost music diplomacy program, and the Miami-based Fellows of the New World Symphony, America's Orchestral Academy. Using ultra high speed connectivity of Internet 2 and the low latency LoLa software inside the library, the long distance live collaborative music event was one of a kind featuring young gifted musicians from all over the world in both locations over 700 miles apart.

Must admit that this was a new one for me seeing a timetabled departure from platform 1 at Bury Bolton Street.

Gainsborough Central, Lincolnshire. I have a photo taken from this spot in 1971 when the rather special station buildings were in place. It's not my copyright so I can't really post that one, unfortunately.
the platform sign was in japanese, and it would flip briefly over to english every 30 seconds or so. the bullet trains are all the same speed, but separated into classes by the number of stops they make. kodama makes the most stops, hikari is next, and nozomi makes the fewest stops.
The platform at Glengarnock station (not my town, but the next one along) as I disembarked on Christmas Eve. Not bad, I felt.
