The Siemens Wegberg - Wildenrath test and validation centre is built on the site of a former Cold War RAF base and on aerial views the site of the runway can still be discerned. A 6km oval track circles the site and speeds up to 160km/h are permitted - although us journos were only allowed to drive up to half that! Following my stint at the controls I alighted for a few pics of the train passing through the woods that surround the track. The line is not fenced and consequently wildlife is a problem - particularly wild boars - around 50 strikes a year happen - not ideal for a brand new train before delivery!

Note the 750V DC third rail for testing UK trains so equipped. The catenary voltage can be changed easily to match that needed for a particular train.

This test track operates for 23 hours a day and only shuts down twice a day to allow movement of trains to and from the site via the mainline connection that crosses the test track on a diamond crossing.

Indian Coffee House in New Delhi, India. by Anoop Negi

96 46

The hot cups of coffee are legendary. Every journo to intellectual or a student looking for the hot cuppa have been to the institution that is the Indian Coffee House.

The history of the place is interesting and is deeply involved with the politics of India. Indira Gandhi was a strong Prime Minister of India and in the mid 70s she played her strongest hand and declared a state of Emergency in the country and that continued for almost 2 years. A period of purges, missing activists and a total blackout on freedom of speech.

Indian Coffee House located in New Delhi was a beehive of intellectuals and everyone here knew that Indira Gandhi was going to declare Emergency/ Indira's son Sanjay Gandhi the de-facto heir of the now newly crowned dictator saw to it that the premises were shut down..

Time passes on and even dictators go away for good or bad. The Emergency was lifted in 1977 and India breathed a sigh of relief.

The coffee house came up in a new locality and continues till date to serve the very same coffee in the same kind of cups that were designed way back then.

Some good things do not change

Wish that my hands were a tad dirtier. It actually took me a long time to make them dirty; the dirt wouldn't really stick even when I rubbed it in. I found this little baby in an empty pot in my backyard. I'll put him back tomorrow. He's a good photo buddy. :)

I'm finally caught up with my 365s, I'm never too good with being on time. Anyway, I'm really excited for tomorrow because I rented 12-24mm f.4 lens for the NYC convention later this week. If anybody else is going to the NYC convention for journo/yearbook, I'd be more than happy to meet you. :)

Nullarbor Mists by a777thunder (Thanks for your support)

A photo Journo of our crossing with a couple of camps

The term "crossing the Nullarbor" means driving about 1,200 kilometres on the Eyre Highway between Ceduna and Norseman in South Australia and Western Australia respectively. Between these towns the traveller crosses the 'real' Nullarbor Plain (the treeless limestone plain) as well as other regions with different characteristics.

The Nullarbor Plain is a flat limestone plain stretching across the southern part of South Australia and Western Australia. The limestone was laid down 25 million years ago on an ancient seabed and has since been uplifted as a limestone layer between 15 and 60 metres thick. The climate is classified as arid to semi-arid with 150mm to 250mm of annual rainfall and mild winters. Summer weather is extremely variable. Hot days with daytime temperatures exceeding 40°C can be followed by mild cloudy days in the low 20's. Summer rainfall is unreliable, usually comprising localised heavy showers or coastal drizzle. The mean summer temperature ranges from 18°C to 33°C.

The limited rain that does fall quickly disappears into the limestone. There are no natural watercourses but there are numerous, extensive cave systems. In earlier times, when rainfall was heavier, Nullarbor limestone was weathered and dissolved by water to form karst terrain characterised by underground drainage systems and caverns. Karst development sometimes changes the gently undulating surface by forming shallow, circular depressions with sufficient soil and localised drainage to support scattered small trees or large shrubs. Otherwise, the plain is dominated by bluebush and saltbush with scattered mulga except for the famous treeless part covered in only bluebush and saltbush.

Out For A Jolly by darkprince66 (Tug Chasing Super Hero :D)

There's a rumour going round town that one day, they are going to let us proles aboard for a ride.

One day...

A clutch of TfW bigwigs and some of their journo pals were allegedly on board 1Z49 Holyhead-Cardiff Central as it sailed non-stop through Rhyl on 8 April 2021. Maybe new MD Jan Chaudhry-van der Velde was present, surveying his new manor? Who knows...

The TfW mk4 DVT's look a little stark in grey, but they will apparently be adorned with vinyls depicting TfW's charity partners, so will probably end up pink, blue and rainbow. At that point, you'll probably be wishing for the return of plain grey...

Still, look on the bright side. TfW have been reported as 'looking to acquire additional mk4 vehicles, whilst they are available.'

Best be quick. Over 100 mk4 coaches have already been scrapped. Outrageous.

I'm Slime. by PunchDrunkCandy- Emmy

IC Candy: What would you of been in Hathian? If We'd had known about the corrupt city before you were gone, Would you of been anything? Would you of remained a whore?

Did you enjoy it?

In all the years that have passed, It is only now that I consider that possibility. I thought it was necessity. For me. For us. I thought you did everything in your power to provide.

But now thoughts never entertained come to light. The more I learn of others. The more I want of others. The more they want of me.

Did you feel the same? Were you perverse? Am I wrong to wonder?

Mother, I am slime.

Look like a girl but I think like a guy

Not ladylike to behave like a slime

Easy to be sleazy when you've got a filthy mind

You stick to your yogurts

I'll stick to my apple pie

Girls are not meant to fight dirty

Never look a day past thirty

Not gonna bend over and curtsy for you

Is there any possibility

You'll quit gossiping about me

To hide your insecurities?

All you say is "blah, blah"

Girls they never befriend me

'Cause I fall asleep when they speak

Of all the calories they eat

All they say is "na na na na na"

Girls, oh girls, wag your tails to the beat

Of Girls Aloud, oh the journos in heat

Write such good stories

Oh their mothers must be proud

Making money of your insecurity and doubt

Girls are not meant to fight dirty

Never look a day past thirty

Not gonna bend over and curtsey for you

Is there any possibility

You'll quit gossiping about me

To hide your insecurities?

All you say is "blah, blah"

Girls they never befriend me

'Cause I fall asleep when they speak

Of all the calories they eat

All they say is "na na na na na"

I feel I've been riding in a fast car

Burning dirty gas won't get you that far

I feel I've been riding up the wrong path

But I'm gonna make sure I get the last laugh

Is there any possibility

You'll quit gossiping about me

To hide your insecurities?

All you say is "blah, blah"

Girls they never befriend me

'Cause I fall asleep when they speak

Of all the calories they eat

All they say is "na na na na na"

Girls, wag your tails to the beat

In his pursuit of wisdom by Meer Ahsan Habib

What you can’t see by yourself was his first question. Before that I asked him why he was wearing that coat in this hot summer. Not realizing, I could not answer and then came the reply – if you knew it you would be me. And then he burst into laughter.

I found him near high court at ramna in Dhaka. He considered me to be journalist who would report “gongika” and make him out of high court premise. Several others were in line with him and took a hand on me. It took hours to make them convinced that I was not a journo guy rather an armature photographer. He then allowed me to take this shot and several others joined the line. When the shooting was over I asked him whether he needed anything – with a big smile, he said “just a photograph”

les pierres d' Esther by norbert journo

Il y a des lieux où des gens posent une pierre, trace de passage, pour dire que guidés par les pas du passé, ils sont passés du cœur à la pensé ...en chemin vers l'autre.

Un désert de pierres au bord de la mer ce n'est pas vraiment un désert. C'est une terre recouverte de souvenirs que les vagues caressent. La nuit les pierres remontent de sous la terre et elles apparaissent à la lumière comme à la fin d'un rêve.

Les souvenirs, tant qu'ils peuvent nous souvenir, continuent de nous construire, sur les plages de nos histoires, en devenir.

Image above by - Chris Hondros by FrAcTuReD...fOtOs

It was with much regret and sadness that both Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington were killed in Libya this week.

Chris Hondros was my favourite photo journo and the image above which was taken in Liberia of a young militia soldier is an image I keep revisiting. No I am not a war monger. I just happened to have grown up in a time where I was heavily influenced by The Vietnam War and all those images from Time Life Magazine.

I had not heard of Tim Hetherington, but when the news mentioned *Restrepo*

restrepothemovie.com/ I instantly new who Tim Hetherington was.Tristan and I had watched the documentary only recently.

Often these guys work alone or as mates along side each other even though they shoot for different photo agencies. It appears Chris and Tim as well as two other photo journalists were together when they were killed. I don't know how many journos have been killed covering these conflicts in the last decade, but the toll is way to high as they get closer and closer to the action to get *The money shot* so they can exist - feed themselves and their families or finance a project (cause) that is close to them. It also doesn't help that in recent times journalists have become prime targets in conflict zones,

I for one will sadly miss his work and his humanitarianism.

His web page and some of his work;

www.chrishondros.com/

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hondros

News of his death from Star Africa.com;

Tim Hetherington, an Oscar-nominated British film director and war photographer, and award-winning US photographer Chris Hondros were killed and two other Western journalists wounded in the besieged Libyan city of Misrata.

Vanity Fair, for which Hetherington was a contributing photographer, confirmed the death of the 41-year-old who covered numerous conflicts and won the 2007 World Press Photo Award for his coverage of US soldiers in Afghanistan.

Hondros, also 41, suffered grave head injuries in the same mortar attack, said medics in the western port city of Misrata, and died hours later from his wounds, Getty Images confirmed to AFP.

Getty "is deeply saddened to confirm the death of Staff Photographer Chris Hondros who has died of injuries while covering events in Libya on April 20th," the agency said in a statement.

Two other colleagues, Guy Martin, a freelance photographer working for Panos, and photographer Michael Brown, working for Corbis, were also wounded in the attack, the agencies confirmed.

Hetherington and Hondros were the second and third journalist killed in Libya in its two-month-old conflict.

President Barack Obama's chief spokesman, Jay Carney, said the US leader was "saddened" to learn Hetherington had been killed, in a statement released before the news of Hondros' death.

"Journalists across the globe risk their lives each day to keep us informed, demand accountability from world leaders, and give a voice to those who would not otherwise be heard," Carney said.

The White House later released a statement after Hondros was confirmed dead from his injuries, saying his "tragic death underscores the need to protect journalists as they cover conflicts across the globe."

Hondros "never shied away from the front line having covered the world's major conflicts throughout his distinguished career and his work in Libya was no exception," Getty said in its statement.

"We are working to support his family and his fiancée as they receive this difficult news, and are preparing to bring Chris back to his family and friends in the United States. He will be sorely missed."

The Liverpool-born Hetherington produced and co-directed the acclaimed documentary "Restrepo," which won a Oscar nomination.

"He really wanted to get the pictures but at the same time I had the impression he was a very responsible person," Tiziana Prezzo, an Italian journalist who was in Misrata two days earlier, told AFP.

"He was one of the last people I met in Misrata. Now that he's not alive any more... it's shocking," she said.

Pulitzer Prize-nominated photographer Hondros had covered many of the world's conflict zones over the last decade, working in Kosovo, Angola, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Kashmir, the West Bank, Iraq, and Liberia, among other places.

In 2006 he won the prestigious Robert Capa Gold Medal photography award for his "exceptional courage and enterprise" in Iraq.

The four journalists were hit by mortar fire on Tripoli Street, the main thoroughfare and focus of fighting in Misrata, which has been under siege for almost two months by Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's forces.

Hetherington's family said in a statement released to Vanity Fair that it was "with great sadness we learned that our son and brother" Hetherington was killed, saying "he will be forever missed."

On Tuesday, he sent his last post to his Twitter account, where he: "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."

A reporter for the Fayetteville Observer, Hondros' hometown newspaper in North Carolina -- where he joined as an intern, and later staff photographer before moving to New York to pursue his career -- was at the family home when the call came from Getty, delivering the news of his death.

"When it came to photography, he gave it everything," Paul Woolverton reported for the Observer. "You can tell with some people, who are really go-getters, that they are going to go far."

Journalists increasingly have come under fire in the ongoing conflict in Libya.

In the courtroom of Benghazi, seat of the opposition, photographs of missing journalists plaster the walls alongside a portrait of Ali Hassan al-Jaber, an Al-Jazeera cameraman killed on March 12 in an ambush near Benghazi.

Jaber was the first foreign journalist killed in Libya since the beginning of the uprising against Kadhafi on February 15. Numerous journalists have been detained and often mistreated by the Libyan regime.

A spokesman for the rebel Transitional National Council (TNC) said that eight foreign journalists and six Libyan colleagues are currently being held by Kadhafi's forces.

A growing number of media companies are hiring security consultants for advice on their movements around the fluctuating front line between Kadhafi's loyalists and rebel forces.

A Group of Conflict Photographers Runs Out of Luck

By MICHAEL KAMBER

Published: April 23, 2011;

www.nytimes.com/2011/04/24/weekinreview/24kamber.html

It was the photographer Joao Silva, lying in a hospital bed in Washington, his legs blown off in Afghanistan, who confirmed that my close friend was dead.

“I’ve got news for you, brother, and it’s not good,” he said simply, quietly. Tim Hetherington, a British photographer and co-director of the Afghanistan war documentary “Restrepo,” was killed on Wednesday in Misurata, Libya, when he and others came under fire. Killed with him was Chris Hondros, another good friend and photographer.

They were part of an intimate, informal group of photojournalists who routinely cover war. We are mostly Europeans and Americans, primarily based in New York or Paris, typically working for a handful of magazines and newspapers or photo agencies. The group is small enough — fewer than 100 people — that we refer to each other in conversation by first names only: Yuri, Carolyn, Gary, Spencer, Franco. Of course there are many other such photographers, separated from our group by language or geography.

Though it was unspoken among us, I often mused silently on our group’s extraordinary luck. We covered nearly a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan without losing a single member (though Martin Adler, a Swedish photographer and cameraman who sometimes worked with members of our group, was killed in Somalia in 2006 when a gunman stepped out of a crowd and shot him). Somehow we were spared.

We are not thrill seekers. Each photographer judges the risks necessary to help bring news of these conflicts to the international public.

Six months ago, our group’s luck ran out. First, a land mine destroyed Joao’s legs while he was on patrol with American soldiers in Afghanistan. Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario were held captive with two other journalists and brutalized last month in Libya. And Wednesday morning in Misurata, the incoming fire claimed the lives of Tim and Chris.

Our group is devastated. But talking with other photographers, I’m struck that I have not heard anyone say, “They should not have gone.”

Tim and Chris had experienced hundreds of days of combat; they knew the risks as well as anyone. Yet their commitment was absolute. They endangered themselves so that others might see what was happening in a small port city on the coast of North Africa, a city few had heard of until they showed it to us, until it claimed their lives.

Another interesting story;

80 Years Ago - Communists and the Daily Worker back D-Day BUT the Daily Worker is the only national newspaper banned from embarking a journo with the troops. by Alisdare Hickson

7

80 Years Ago - Communists and the Daily Worker back D-Day - the Executive Committee of the Communist Party issued a statement calling on every member to give everything in their power to ensure the speediest success of the invasion - BUT even so the Daily Worker is the only national newspaper banned from embarking a journo with the troops.

The map on the Daily Worker's front page appears to show airborne landings which include the Channel Islands, although I'm not aware of any such landings on the islands on 6 June 1944, but if anyone knows of any such landings please comment below.

To anyone wanting to read a newspaper that's truly and consistently on the side of fighting fascism, like the Daily Worker throughout the 1930s and 1940s, I would highly recommend the Morning Star -
