Docking in the bus stand at Old Street is brand new Volvo B5LH/Enviro 400 MMC EHV6 (BL15 HBJ) on route 135, which Go-Ahead too over from Arriva last month.
These brand new buses do look the part and are definitely nice buses to do. I hope to see more of these in the future.
Go-Ahead London: BL15 HBJ/ EHV6 on route 135 to Crossharbour, Isle of Dogs ASDA.
Usually we clean up the Space Station on Saturday, but yesterday we had a new arrival: the SpaceX Cargo Dragon, so we spent all day unpacking. Some experiments need immediate attention, so after unpacking we got to work on the science too! On my first mission Proxima, the SpaceX Cargo Dragon flew close to the Station and then we grabbed it with the robotic arm and manoeuvred it to its docking port. This is the new upgraded model that docks automatically (like the Russian Progress). It is very similar to the Crew Dragon that flew us here, but instead of people it brings up supplies!
Qui dit cargo ravitailleur, dit provisions et équipements scientifiques. On a passé le samedi à ranger : répertoriage minutieux avant ET après stockage, déballage, tri, liaisons avec le Centre de contrôle, course contre la montre pour transférer les boîtes de pétri et autres échantillons qui doivent être conservées dans les congélateurs… Les opérations ont mobilisé tout l’équipage, et chacun avait un rôle bien précis pour ne pas se flotter dessus et perdre un temps précieux !

Waiting for a ship- -destined never to arrive.
Th abandoned St. Joseph Island ferry docks at Bamfort Island closed with the opening of the Brent Gilbertson bridge in 1972. The bridge replaced the ferry service operated by the Province of Ontario from 1953 to 1972. The bridge crosses the St. Joseph Channel / Lake Huron's North Channel and connects St. Joseph Island via Highway 548 to Northern Ontario.
Three days ago I posted a colour version of this image. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/paul_s_rose] commented on it, wondering what it looked like in mono. Here it is. Your thoughts on which version is preferred would be appreciated.
This is the former HMS Ocelot (S17), seen in dry dock at The Historic Dockyard in Chatham, Kent.
Ocelot was the last warship to be built for the Royal Navy at Chatham (although three Canadian Oberon-class boats were built after her at the yard). Commissioned in 1964, she was one of six O-class diesel-electric submarines built at Chatham, three for the Royal Navy and three for the Royal Canadian Navy.
The design was one of the most successful for conventional patrol submarines and 13 were built for the Royal Navy in total, with a further 14 commissioned by Australia (6), Canada (3), Brazil (2) and Chile (3).
Ocelot served in both the 1st (Portsmouth) and 3rd (Faslane) Submarine Squadrons, operating in the Mediterranean and Baltic Sea as well as the north Atlantic and one trans-Atlantic trip to North America. She was decommissioned in 1991 and sold in 1992 to be turned into the walk-through museum that she is today.
The streamlined sonar dome perched atop the bow housed a Type 2051 Triton sonar produced by Plessey. The complete suite included a "clip-on" towed array.
What can't be seen from this perspective is that there is a further 2,450-tonnes of submarine behind the sonar and torpedo tube outer doors. She had a standard crew of six officers and 62 men, although additional "sea riders" were carried on occasion. The cut in the hull just visible on the right is the space for the anchor.
Ocelot was decommissioned in 1981. She is now resident in No. 3 Dry Dock, which was built in 1820. It was the first of Chatham's dry docks to be built in stone. It, and the associated South Dock pumping station, were designed by John Rennie the Elder, who also designed docks in Hull, Greenock, Liverpool and London.
Note the second submarine in the background - a model of a Russian Victor II-class nuclear-powered submarine used in the 1999 James Bond film, "The World is Not Enough". The aggregates yard visible beyond it is on the far bank of the River Medway.

Goole Docks bathed in the golden light of the setting sun on Wednesday 23rd November 2016. Prominent in the scene are the silos for Hudson Ward flour millers and animal food producers, the south dock lighthouse and the 1912-built "Tom Pudding" No.5 boat hoist. "Tom Puddings" containing around 28 tons of coke were hydraulically lifted half-way up the hoist before there contents were discharged into a ship below. It was last used in the 1980s to handle coke from Bolsover, Askern and Grimethorpe coking plants.

This year will probably see me looking into more experimental work, with a nod to cinematography. And maybe more fog.

Set number P466 which comprised 51308-59475-51323 is seen passing Teignmouth docks on 2nd October 1983 with the 1740 Exeter to Paignton.
The railings are still in situ where the branch used to enter the docks.
This was a class 118/2 set powered by two leyland 6 cyl 150 hp engines under each power car.
I recently dug this one out of my archive and cleaned it up. hope it is passable.
Despite seeing this bug everywhere in France, I've not uploaded that many shots of it (I guess it's due to me uploading plenty of it from the UK!!)!
All of these were seen in various locations in La Brenne - France

Very active today in the warmth, although this one sat happily whilst I took a photo!

I had a hard time getting this shot to look the way I wanted it to. Composing was a struggle because there was another dock out of frame on the bottom and there really wasn't anywhere else I could stand to get the angle I wanted. At least the morning light hitting the mist turned out nice. For reference, this dock was out of frame on the right of this shot.
James Watt Dock commenced construction on 1st August 1878 and was completed in 1886. It was conceived to allow Greenock to compete with Glasgow with the aim of attracting transatlantic shipping traffic and establishing Greenock as, “one of the greatest and best equipped British seaports
The Nao Victoria was the first ship to circumnavigate the globe between 1519-1522.
This is a replica built in spain in 1991 and also circumnavigate the globe between 2004-2006.
