AUBAGNE, a town of 46,000 inhabitants situated east of Marseille, inaugurated its first light rail line on September 1st 2014.
Like the town's bus network, no fares are charged for travel on the tram line, making it the first free-to-use light rail system in France and one of the first in Europe.
The 2.7km line has seven stations and links the main line station in Aubagne with Charrel. Construction began in early 2013 and the project had a budget of €166m including rolling stock.
Services operate at 10-minute intervals using a fleet of 10 Citadis Compact low-floor LRVs. The 22m-long three-section vehicles accommodate up to 125 passengers.
The Urban Community of Pays d'Aubagne et de l'Etoile decided in April that it would not proceed with construction of the second or third phase of the network, although the community's president Mrs Sylvia Barthélémy announced at the opening ceremony that the municipal government will study the reopening of the 14km Valdonne railway north of Aubagne as a light rail line.
The proposed line would serve an area with a population of 60,000, linking Aubagne with Roquevaire, Auriol, La Destrouse, and La Bouilladisse. At present there are around 18,000 car journeys a day on the road between Aubagne and La Bouilladisse, and 110,000 vehicles per day use the motorway linking the area with Marseille.

Not everyday clearing the North Cascades Highway is sunshine and postcard-like views. Often times it's rough weather conditions to work in, as it looks like in this photo. It pretty much snowed all day.
The snow is about 4 feet deep in this photo, and it's pretty well compacted. The more compact it is, the more it slows the snowblower down. It takes more work for the snowblower to cut through it.
The bezel on the Presenter is only 1 1/4" inches. You can learn more about the Presenter multitouch wall at: ideum.com/touch-walls/presenter/

1962 "Compact" canister vacuum cleaner by Interstate Engineering Corporation of Anaheim, CA at the Alameda Point Flea Market. Came with a bunch of attachments and bags, seems to work.
These newly built dwellings at Thetford make a refreshing change from the usual mean little "traditional" modern houses, with their sub-Georgian embellishments, cubicle-like rooms and allocated parking. I know a chap who lives a few yards from here. He told me they were going for an "affordable" £120,000. Hmmm. Wouldn't mind one myself. The signboards say that one is sold and one remains for sale. Yet the website says that the agents are property management consultants acting on behalf of landlords. Can't quite work that one out.
My only complaint would be that the ground floor front is all window. This is another example ...habit dies hard... of an architect giving his "end users" what he thinks they ought to have, rather than what they actually want. We're all familiar with the dogma that interiors should be "light" and "airy" and that the inside of the house should merge with the outside. But these are abstractions. Human beings require privacy, retreat, "defensible space" and refuge from the world's scrutiny. Top-to-bottom windows might do on the garden front, but nobody wants to live in a goldfish bowl. The new owners of the three occupied houses have already had to spend a pretty penny on net curtains.
Working on this, know it doesn't show really a lot of detail and generic. The plan is to develop it out into a full family with a thin to this being the heavy. We will see how it goes. I have all the uppercase sketched out but need to do lowercase which will be hell.

I figured these SWB vans would be rare one day, so thought I ought to get a shot of this fairly clean one when walking out one lunchtime (my office in the background).
USP of the Japanese vans was their loadbay length due to being forward-control, so these shorter ones must have struggled to sell against the ubiquitous SWB Transit.
