"The National Railway Museum is a museum in York forming part of the Science Museum Group. The museum tells the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It is the home of the national collection of historically significant railway vehicles such as Mallard, Stirling Single, Duchess of Hamilton and a Japanese bullet train. In addition, the National Railway Museum holds a diverse collection of other objects from a household recipe book used in George Stephenson’s house to film showing a "never stop railway" developed for the British Empire Exhibition. It has won many awards, including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001.
As of 2019 the museum is about to embark on a once-in-a-generation site development. As part of the York Central redevelopment which will divert Leeman Road, the National Railway Museum will be building a new entrance building to connect the two separate parts of the museum together. At the same time, the space around the museum will be landscaped to provide public spaces.
In 2020 architectural practice Feilden Fowles won an international competition to create the museum’s new £16.5 million Central Hall building—a key element of the museum’s Vision 2025 masterplan.
York is a cathedral city and unitary authority area in North Yorkshire, England. The population of the council area which includes nearby villages was 208,200 as of 2017[citation needed] and the population of the urban area was 153,717 at the 2011 census. Located at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss, it is the county town of the historic county of Yorkshire. The city is known for its famous historical landmarks such as York Minster and the city walls, as well as a variety of cultural and sporting activities, which makes it a popular tourist destination in England. The local authority is the City of York Council, a single tier governing body responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout the city. The City of York local government district includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. It is about 25 miles north-east of Leeds and 34 miles north-west of Kingston upon Hull. York is the largest settlement in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria and Jórvík. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained. In the 19th century, York became a major hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre, a status it maintained well into the 20th century. During the Second World War, York was bombed as part of the Baedeker Blitz. Although less affected by bombing than other northern cities, several historic buildings were gutted and restoration efforts continued into the 1960s.
The economy of York is dominated by services. The University of York and National Health Service are major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy. In 2016, York became sister cities with the Chinese city of Nanjing, as per an agreement signed by the Lord Mayor of York, focusing on building links in tourism, education, science, technology and culture. Today, the city is a popular tourist attraction, especially for international visitors from America, Germany, France and China. In 2017, York became UK's first human rights city, which formalised the city's aim to use human rights in decision making." - info from Wikipedia.

Outside the Tate, I was amused to find a Blue Screen of Death on a public map terminal. It's not Port Authority, but it's nice.

Found these in the bottom of my stationery drawer. I'll figure out a use for them, but it won't be the originally intended one.

After the devastating Fourth World War (2126 to 2148) in which over 1/3 of the world's population was killed, a great number of weapon companies were left bankrupt from overproduction. PAC, finding itself under aggressive WWAC (World Wide Alliance of Countries; basically the NEA and the rest of the world, after the WUR was forced to unconditional surrender) control was on the verge of calling bankruptcy, when QuanTech Ltd., a company producing quantum computers, asked for a merger.
A deal was eventually worked out in which PAC would become a subsidiary of the company, keeping most, if not all, of their profits, in return for letting QuanTech utilize PAC's superb scientists to complete a new supercomputer to be used by radar installations. By 2155, PAC had become the largest weapon producer in all of the North American Territories. In contrast, QuanTech was slowly sliding into a pit of debt brought on by the little need for new computers, while PAC was becoming more and more independent.
This time, PAC had to bale out QuanTech. They decided to merge into a new company, and on May 4th, 2156, they merged into Qbit Technologies, a company manufacturing both quantum computers (Qbit was a reference to the qubit, a unit, not unlike the bit in normal computers, used in quantum computing) and weapons.
