BR Standard 9F 92220 ''Evening Star'' - the last BR steam locomotive built - arriving at Old Oak Common with the 'shuttle service' from Paddington, on the open day in September 1981, celebrating the depot's 75th anniversary.
The loco was withdrawn after less than 5 years in service, in March 1965, and was - after some accident damage repairs - preserved. The loco operated on many specials on BR tracks in the 80s, but all 9Fs were subsequently banned from UK mainline tracks, as the flangeless centre driver caused 'problems' with newer pointwork..
Today, ''Evening Star'' is a static exhibit, at the National Railway Museum, York.
Old Oak Common depot is still in operation, and sometimes hosts visiting preserved locomotives..

River Plunge – Album Description – Mainz, Germany – 2017DEC31:
New Year's Eve I got a river view room, a real rarity for me! In the pre-dawn half-light I glanced out my room in our crew hotel, glimpsing steely glistening water glimmering five floors below.
In addition to ship traffic, I got to witness a traditional jump off the bow of the Branddirektor F. A. Schneider for the fire department's New Year's Eve swim: clad in wet suits, 180 police officers, rescue divers, and firemen plunged off the fire department boat into numbing cold waters, strong currents carrying them 2 kilometers downstream starting at 10:13 a.m.
This time of year a phenomenon in unvarying annual sequence for mid-northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere gives us the earliest sunset in early December, shortest day at the solstice about December 21, & latest sunrise in early January.
The December solstice brings the shortest day to the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day to the Southern Hemisphere; however, latest sunrise doesn’t coincide with the day of least daylight, also the latest sunset not the day of greatest daylight.
Why not? Earth’s rotational axis is tilted 23.5⁰ out of vertical to the plane of our not perfectly circular orbit around the sun.
Due to this eccentric orbit ('squashed', with the sun slightly off center), Earth travels fastest in January, slowest in July. Clock time gets a bit out of sync with sun time by about ½ minute per day for several weeks around the December solstice.
Because solar noon (midday) comes later by the clock now than on the solstice, so do the times of sunrise and sunset. For today in Mainz it was a 8:25 a.m. sunrise, a 4:34 p.m. sunset.

New Year's Eve – Album Description – Mainz, Germany – 2017DEC31:
My New Year's Eve layover in Mainz!
We took off early (scheduled 1645/actual 1638) and arrived in Frankfurt, Germany, early (scheduled 0115/actual 0044), for our 2720 layover, 20 minutes longer than our scheduled 27 hours.
At the crew hotel I got a river view room! Unusual! I ran a hot bath and hopped in the tub; suddenly hotel guests opened my door and came into my room! In the unexpected excitement of getting a rare river view, I forgot to lock and latch my door!
After my nap I eagerly headed up the hill past the "Sun" where Joe and I ate Christmas Eve dinner with 7 other crewmembers a week ago to the Old Minster Church for their New Year's Eve 5:00 p.m. service; I learned of it from their pastor, my friend Hendrik Maskus. Heartwarming! Flute teacher Katrin Schild played beautiful duets, accompanied by Makoto Mikawa. She said to bring my flute for us to play duets this coming year!
Meandering back to the crew hotel I paused to admire some lovely Christmas lights and decorations along the way.
My room faced the hotel elevators, just a mere few feet away: after loud fireworks, waves of late-night revelers spilled out of those elevators sharing volumes of celebratory experiences.
Several hours later our full flight took off, and we crossed the southern tip of Greenland, arriving 33 minutes early, at 1352; at home I greeted Joe, whom I saw last year (48 hours prior)!
When Joe got up the next morning at 7 here it was 7⁰F (-14⁰C).
Hope you enjoy this 9.7% of 1121 photos I took here this day!
Whilst on a family jolly to the Mid Hants. Railway a few years ago, we were lucky enough to be there at the time of a model railway exhibition in Alton, transport to which was being provided by this preserved Leyland Tiger Cub. WCG 104 was and still is, in the care of the 'Friends of King Alfred', a group who's excellent works keep alive the spirit of the former Winchester Independent. The Tiger Cub was Leyland's effort at producing a lightweight single decker when fuel economy was becoming an issue in the mid 50s. They collaborated with Weymann as here who fitted this equally light Hermes bodywork. Locally to us, PMT ran similar buses on AEC, Leyland and Albion chassis, but I don't recall any of them having the severe weight saving economies found in the above such as single skin body panelling.
We stayed for our 3rd time during January 2016 at the memorable and ideally located Hilton Dublin Airport Hotel, Deluxe Room. Good airport shuttle connections, efficient and friendly service, good food/drinks offerings and of course large rooms make this hotel before/after a flight from/to DUB highly recommended. Of note, while the shuttle service from the airport is complimentary, the same service from the hotel to the airport is 2 Euros per person. Overall, highly recommended.

Within less than 90 minutes, the 'Aviva' had emptied. Everybody who wanted to be somewhere was there. Having made multiple trips to the Temple Bar area Donnybrook 'VT6' is signed off and the Dublin Bus operation stood down. The frenzied,goodnatured and flexible operation (flexible in that most journeys were operated in line with travellers wishes and operated to the City centre/ Temple Bar instead of the N11) was over.
Wearing a recently applied 'mega side' add for Kellogs Squares VT7,followed by VT6 return home to Donnybrook.

Ex-Metropolitan Railway E4 0-4-4T No.1 taking on water at Ropley, with the rest of its train - a BR/SR two-car 'Hampshire Unit' DEMU - waiting alongside.
No.1 is now back in action after - unfortunately - failing with boiler problems at the later 'Steam on the Met' runs in 2013.
The 'thumper' was living up to its name, as the whole driving motor was shaking with vibrations from the idling diesel in the engine compartment..

The University of Aberdeen launched a free 15 minute shuttle service between Old Aberdeen & Foresterhill in September 2010.
The service is running as a six months trial linking to the two sites of the university for staff rather than students. It has three stops, Kings Lawn, St Machar Drive and Foresterhill campus.
Two Ford Transits minibuses are used on the service, NL10 BLX and NL10 BMY, both seen here.
