Dawn breaks the morning after yet another announcement to confirm the delay of the introduction of the new Mk5 stock on the Caledonian Sleeper Highlander service. With the Mk5s on that route now not likely to be introduced until the Autumn, the 35-40 year old Mk2s (pictured) and Mk3s will be kept running in full passenger service for another few months.
Likewise, the Class 90s which have worked Sleeper trains for three decades will perform one last stint before they are no longer able to work the trains anymore (due to ETS and coupling incompatibility).
Freightliner Class 90, 90049 - on hire to GB Railfreight for use on the sleeper services - works the Up Highlander (1M16) south through Winsford.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD ("People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs", the Soviet secret police) in April and May 1940. Though the killings also occurred in the Kalinin and Kharkiv prisons and elsewhere, the massacre is named after the Katyn Forest, where some of the mass graves were first discovered.
The massacre was initiated in NKVD chief Lavrentiy Beria's proposal to Stalin to execute all captive members of the Polish officer corps, approved by the Soviet Politburo led by Joseph Stalin. Of the total killed, about 8,000 were officers imprisoned during the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, another 6,000 were police officers, and the remaining 8,000 were Polish intelligentsia the Soviets deemed to be "intelligence agents, gendarmes, landowners, saboteurs, factory owners, lawyers, officials, and priests". The Polish Army officer class was representative of the multi-ethnic Polish state; the murdered included ethnic Poles, Polish Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Polish Jews including the Chief Rabbi of the Polish Army, Baruch Steinberg.
The government of Nazi Germany announced the discovery of mass graves in the Katyn Forest in April 1943. Stalin severed diplomatic relations with the London-based Polish government-in-exile when it asked for an investigation by the International Committee of the Red Cross. The USSR claimed the Nazis had killed the victims, and it continued to deny responsibility for the massacres until 1990, when it officially acknowledged and condemned the killings by the NKVD, as well as the subsequent cover-up by the Soviet government.
An investigation conducted by the office of the Prosecutors General of the Soviet Union (1990–1991) and the Russian Federation (1991–2004) confirmed Soviet responsibility for the massacres, but refused to classify this action as a war crime or as an act of mass murder. The investigation was closed on the grounds the perpetrators were dead, and since the Russian government would not classify the dead as victims of the Great Purge, formal posthumous rehabilitation was deemed inapplicable. In November 2010, the Russian State Duma approved a declaration blaming Stalin and other Soviet officials for ordering the massacre.

October 1940 - It's been over a year since the Nazi occupation of Poland, I've seen my friends die and my father 'go missing' due to the evil inclinations of these fascist scum. Even our police force has given into them... Cowards

This poor queen ant was killed before even being able to start a colony. Still pretty rewarding to photograph!
rather theatrical protest against executions in iran taking place in whitehall today as huge crowd of mainly middle-class anti-brexit marchers filed past.
In many countries death penalty, execution is still practiced.
Crucifixion is one of many methods of execution: gas chamber, hanging, lapidation, death-chair, decapitation, stake, lethal injection, execution by firing squad,
guillotine
Steinigung, Scheiterhaufen, erhängen, Enthauptung, Erschießung, elektrischer Stuhl, Giftspritze, Gaskammer

Beginning in 1942, the Natzweiler Struthof concentration camp also became a discreet execution site for many of those condemned to death. The firing squad was made up of the camps SS guards.
More than 460 people were known to habe been executed today, including at the crematorium. But the exact figure is difficult to establish. Men and women murdered at Natzweiler were not all registered in the camp and for the most part were murdered without a trace.
Some of the executions were carried out in the sand quarry. One of the most striking of these executions was that of thirteen young Alsatians from Ballersdorf. On the night of 12 to 13 February 1943, they had tried to pass into Switzerland to escape forced inscription into the German army. Arrested and sentenced to death after a summary trial, they were shot in the Natzweiler sand quarry on 17 February.

La sablière, lieu d’exécution
A partir de 1942, le camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof devient aussi un lieu discret d’exécution pour de nombreux condamnés à mort. Ce sont les gardes SS du camp qui forment le peloton d’exécution.
Plus de 460 exécutions ont été recensées à ce jour, y compris au crématoire. Mais le chiffre exact reste difficile à établir. Les hommes et les femmes assassinés à Natzweiler n’étaient pas tous immatriculés au camp et sont pour la plupart été assassinés sans laisser de traces.
Une partie des exécutions a lieu dans cette sablière. L’une des plus marquantes est celle de treize jeunes Alsaciens de Ballersdorf. Dans la nuit du 12 au 13 février 1943, ils avaient tenté de passer en Suisse pour échapper à l’incorporation de force dans l‘armée allemande. Arrêtés et condamnés à mort après un jugement sommaire, ils ont été fusillés le 17 février à la sablière de Natzweiler.

Exekutionsort Sandgrube
Ab 1942 wird das KZ Natzweiler-Struthof in aller Diskretion auch zu einem Ort, an dem zahlreiche zum Tode Verurteilten hingerichtet werden. Die Hinrichtungskommandos bestehen aus den SS-Wachen im Lager. Bis heute weiß man von über
460 Exekutionen, die auch im Krematorium stattfanden. Doch die genaue Zahl ist schwer zu ermitteln, denn die Männer und Frauen, die in Natzweiler ermordet wurden, waren nicht immer als Lagerinsassen erfasst, und die meisten von ihnen wurden in aller Heimlichkeit ermordet.
Ein Teil der Exekutionen fand in dieser Sandgrube statt.Traurige Berühmtheit erlangte die Hinrichtung von 13 jungen Elsässern aus Ballersdorf, die in der Nacht vom 12. auf den 13 Februar 1943 versucht hatten, sich der Zwangsrekrutierung durch die Deutschen durch Flucht in die Schweiz zu entziehen. Sie wurden gefasst und in einem Schnellverfahren zum Tode verurteilt und am 17. Februar in der Sandgrube in Natzweiler erschossen.

The 98 and N98 were due to be cutback to Marble Arch in light of the Oxford Street pedestrianisation but with the project seemingly cancelled, both routes will still be continuing along Oxford Street to Holborn for the moment.
In April 1864 Fernando Maximiliano José María de Habsburgo-Lorena (1832-1867) became Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. He was not some extremely conservative royalist, but rather a broad-minded thinker who naively sought to 'improve' Mexico politically and socially. He'd reckoned though without the influence of the USA which was still then caught up in their own Civil War. That war however ended and the US with heavy hand meddled in Mexican politics, backing the so-called liberal counter forces to Maximilian's haphazard social rule.
It was a messy time, and soon the emperor was captured (1867) and quickly executed by firing squad (see the inset painting by Édouard Manet [1832-1883]). Maximilian remained much-loved in Habsburg territories, and the German sculptor Johannes Schilling (1828-1910) was commissioned to fashion his statue (1875, inset above left). The statue had a moveable history but now graces the Piazza Venezia near our apartment.
Maximilian was the guiding force behind the construction and execution of Miramare Castle (1856-1860) just up the coast from Trieste; but as is clear from the above he and his wife, Charlotte of Belgium, enjoyed its pleasures for only a very short time.
PS I think it's rather curious to call the Emperor 'I', given that there was no successor.

Having being tried and found guilty of treason on 15th May of 1536 her punishment was to be burnt alive, however Henry VIII, her husband, had reduced her punishment to beheading. He also paid for an expert swordsman, from Saint-Omer in France, to carry out the execution instead of having a queen beheaded with the common axe.
The execution was carried out in a single stroke and was witnessed by Thomas Cromwell, Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk (the King's illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy) the Lord Mayor of London, aldermen, sheriffs, and representatives of the various craft guilds.

Execution of Robespierre - my entry for the "Mad History Contest" at Imperium der Steine. You had to build a MOC with a historical scene which should contain a little twist (limited 48x48 studs). I made a version where Skynet send a terminator in the wrong time and location. Hope you like it
Paul Delaroche -
The Execution of Lady Jane Grey [1833]
big seize oil painting; cm 246 × 297
London NG
*********************************************************************************
Lady Jane Grey reigned for just nine days as Queen of England following the death of Edward VI in 1553: she was deposed by the faction supporting Edward’s half-sister and heir, Mary Tudor. Tried for treason, the 17-year-old Lady Jane was beheaded at Tower Green on 12 February 1554.
Delaroche shows the final moments of the blindfolded Lady Jane as she pleads, ‘What shall I do? Where is the block?’ She is being guided towards it by Sir John Brydges, Lieutenant of the Tower. Her outer clothing has already been removed and is gathered in the lap of a lady-in-waiting, who has slumped to the ground. Behind her, a second lady-in-waiting stands facing the wall, unable to watch. To the right, the executioner stands waiting. Using a shallow stage-like space, theatrical lighting and life-size figures, Delaroche plays up the spectacle of the innocent young victim on the brink of martyrdom, compelling us to react to the scene before us.

She was the second daughter of Henry VII and the granddaughter of Princess Mary , sister of Henry VIII , and a 5th cousin of Mary I and Elizabeth I. She was crowned queen after the death of Edward VI, and she reigned briefly, but only for nine days . As such, she sometimes refers to her as her "Queen of the Nine Days" , but scholars differ as to whether she should be classified as her Queen.

-Translated from Russian-
Russia, St Petersburg, 2067
I moved on from Gostiny Station and moved onto Spasskaya, changing lines, and ended up at Mayaskovskaya. Also known as New Russia St.Petersburg Military camp, it was a small area in the subway system, allocated to the army. The gate, was obviously, locked up tight. I crawled through and air vent to reach the base itself. I heard screams and gunfire, I moved forward on the scaffolding to get a better view.
2 guys in Metro Police uniforms were running down the hallway.
BLAM!
One down, the last one is still running, he tries to take cover at the crate and -
BLAM!
Welp, he ain't running no more.
A man in a beret walk outs. from the gate. Along with the policeman's pursuers, all dressed in plain tan Gorka Uniforms.
" General."
"Private. Sit Rep."
" We have hunted down both of the guards, One is dead, the other barely alive. As you can see."
"Why? Killing cops is not good Ivan."
" They found out. They helped the girl escape the lab down at Vladmiskaya."
"Yebat. You Cykа́ cannot even keep a couple of over-payed idiots away from the girl! Find her! I'll take care of the guard."
"On it sir! Dima! Follow me. We search the rest of the line!"
The two solders left, leaving the "general" behind.
"So you still alive huh?"
"Da. But I won't say anything, What you plan to do is wrong!."
"Haha, You will eventually, the only thing you get to decide is how much pain you will feel before you tell me."
The general pulled out a revolver and pointed it at the guard.
"Пошёл на́ хуй!"
"Oh, how'd I wish you didn't say that."
The general raised his gun and fired. I'm not sure why he shot the guard though, the guard seemed to have information he needed. But from what I observed, he didn't really care for the information, not consciously anyways. He killed for well, just for fun. I know this because, on the back of his neck, spots formed. Red spots. He was infected. And he was slowly losing his mind.
I came here for food, but It seems that I might have to detour to Vladmirskaya to see what exactly is going on.
So I'm not sure what to say in the desc, so yea.
And RU Engineer is halfway done, just need the AKS and the pants for him.
And the first part is based on studying the maps of the real St Petersburg subway system.
Russian words in russian is kept russian cuz they are vulgarites.
