The next morning a reply from the Prince was received. "What does it say? Are we to hold the castle or push on?"
"If you'll give me a chance to break the seal Gunnar, I'll tell you." smiled Thomas.
Thomas read the parchment and then looked up, his face impassive "Well, I didn't expect that. The war is over. A Lenfald Lord will be here within the hour. We are to hand possession of the castle to him. He will then guarantee us safe passage back to Loreos. We are to return to Arrowford."
"WHAT! This is outrageous! We pay with the lives of our men to take this castle only for that Prince to hand it back on a whim and a fancy..."
"Gunnar, please calm yourself. All the war reports have told of Loreos doing well. If the Prince has agreed to a ceasefire then we can only assume the terms were too good to refuse. Besides, what were we going to do with this castle? It would not be practical for us to expend the men and resources needed to hold it for any great length of time.
We have done our duty and we are now to return home to get on with our lives. We didn't want a prolonged campaign. Our business is in Arrowford, not here. Please tell the men to prepare."
An hour later and a company of Lenfeld soldiers could be seen on the edge of the woods. Thomas's men were formed up and ready, but for the Sergeant's departure briefing. "Right listen up you lot. We will not be having any diplomatic incidents. Every man will keep his head up and eyes front and centre. If I see anyone so much as glancing at one of those Lenfeld then I shall personally be ripping your arm off and beating you to death with the soggy end. Now move out."
The gates opened and the men of Arrowford marched out. Ahead of them the Lenfeld force parted to each side of the path. "I don't like this" Gunnar hissed to Thomas "We are willingly opening both our flanks to these Lenfald troops, with whom yesterday we were at war."
"We will trust them." replied Thomas smoothly, "For if we don't, then this war will never end."
The men marched through in silence with Thomas at the rear of the column. As he drew level with the Lenfald Lord, he stopped. "I return your castle as agreed."
The Lenfald Lord snarled "And what of my men's lives?"
"They were given honourably in battle carrying out your orders. You will find their bodies complete with their weapons and kit laid out in the castle chapel. They have been treated with the respect earned by soldiers in battle. I trust you will keep your side and grant us safe passage?"
The Lord grunted. "If what you say is true then you may pass. As for safe passage, that will depend on the bears and outlaws."
"Very well. Good day to you." And with that Thomas turned and rode back towards Loreos.

"The Rodian waiting at the hangar"
Rodian: The damaged cargo is embarrassing... but, here are the credits, minus your lost cargo.
Finn: That's all? It's a whole 2nd Cargo we captured for you.
Rodian: Right, but we pay your for cargo not for junk. Let disappear this registered imperial cargo and you failure can you corrected if you fly to Nar Shadaa. We have another Job for you.
Finn: You don't want the cargo? But, all we did was now for nothing?
Rodian: Well, that's not my problem. Contact me if u on Nar Shaddaa.
Finn: How can we contact you?
Rodian: Look at your Credits, that's the contact number. And take a none registered connection.
Finn: Dammit. Fine!
The Rodian speaks something in their native speech: Let's go, guys!

The Dart was looking the part today ready for its official handover. Alasdair Robertson from Artemis came to the museum to officially hand the bus over to the SVBM and start a whole new chapter in the bus life. We hope to have the bus up and running very soon so it can be enjoyed by visitors and provide much needed disabled access around the site.

I managed to capture this moment at the end of the day... Thomas was in the station and we were waiting for the train from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster... I took up position on the bridge and waited for my opportunity! Snap! Then I had to run down and catch the train :-)
If you look an the larger size you can see one of Gordon's drivers is about to hand something over to the guy in orange... hence the title :-)

As the night slowly draws in, Departmental grey liveried Class 37 loco 37263 pulls into Highley Station on the Severn Valley Railway. Appearing as a guest from the Telford Steam Railway, the locos crew on board prepares to exchange tokens with the signalman as it hauls a train from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster.
Chester bus station; and Stagecoach Chester and Wirral Trident/ALX400 17491 has just arrived from the garage. The hi-vizzed individual who ferried it hither is about to pass his charge over to the driver. The bus is looking very smart for a 12 year old vehicle that has seen service in the unforgiving London environment.
I have been liberal with the removal of lighting columns from this image.
The signalman at Carrick-on-Suir exchanges the single line token with the driver of Class 22000 railcar No. 22056, which is working the 10:45 Limerick Junction - Waterford service on Monday 7th September 2015. This infrequently-served line, sometimes known as "The Golden Vale", has some of the last remaining semaphore signals in the Republic of Ireland.

Again a rescue from Larkfield, in this print somebody from MCW is handing over a key to somebody from Strathclyde’s Buses Ltd, in front of Metrorider M52. I’m indebted to Stuart M. Little who has told me who all but one of these people were. The one on left of frame with the striped tie is Alan Westwell, the chap in the red tie with matching handkerchief represented MCW and sadly my short term memory is not good enough to remember who Stuart said the other two were yesterday...

Flash back to June 2015 sees the official handover of 4001 to the Transport Museum, Wythall. Flickrites NOE 544R and WDA4T also feature! The internal restoration of 4001 is well underway and should be completed for Easter - I'll post some pictures soon.
Normally I don't share personal events but I really liked this moment when the father gave the bride to the prospective groom. I would have liked to have been in front of the bride but unfortunately I was just an onlooker at this wedding.
In this shot, the men's 4x400m relay at London2012 heads towards its climax with the 3rd leg runners handing over to those who will finish the race. It looks close here with four teams (Trinidad & Tobago, Great Britain, Russia and Belgium) within 5m of each other.
But in reality, these four are racing for the bronze medal, as you can see the American and Bahamian 3rd leg runners just off the track to the right, with their 4th leg runners having already run well out of shot. The Bahamians went on to pull off a truly magnificent win against the Americans in a new national record of two minutes, 56.72 seconds.
Note in the upper left of the shot that a small piece of history is about to occur as Oscar Pistorius awaits the baton exchange for South Africa. He thus became the first individual to compete in both the Olympics and Paralympics track and field finals, having earlier made the semi-finals of the individual 400m.
Haven't things changed for him since then?
Incidentally, the race for third place was won by the Trinidadians, who managed to finish 0.13 seconds ahead of the British. The South Africans came eighth, as the Cuban team did not finish.
