Clear labels on board the trains operated by Transpennine Express to indicate which seats are and aren't available for use to enable the government guidelines to be adhered to. With the only travel permitted being that of "essential journeys only" during the COVID-19 pandemic passenger numbers are so low that the reduced capacity isn't becoming too much of an issue at the moment.

TGIF on this lockdown Good Friday. There is much to be grateful for, the fact that most of us are staying home and safe. Unfortunately, many others are not so lucky so raising a glass or two to the brave, selfless frontline key workers who keep us safe and supplied during these testing times and all of those living under difficult circumstances. 🌈👏💙🎈💛

Recycling and waste sector employees have been granted 'key worker' status by the government recognising the key role of recycling and waste operatives. This means they will continue to receive educational and care provision for their children during the coronavirus crisis.
Ashleigh and her colleague pass me in their waste collection vehicle about 7 am each morning. They empty the 3 different recycling bins all along the coastal path. Both always have their protective masks and gloves on, even when they're driving.

West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh
Commissioned in 1903, the Floral Clock was the first of its kind in the world.
Clock hands, numbers and the surrounding display comprise of growing, photosynthesising life. In 1973, an electric motor was installed to keep the clock hands moving. Before then the clock's mechanism had to be wound daily.
With tens of thousands of small, colourful plants, the clock takes two gardeners five weeks to plant, and is trimmed, weeded and watered by one gardener for the rest of the season.
The clock flowers from July until October.
Plants vary each year but some of the more commonly used varieties include Lobelia, Pyrethrum, Golden Moss and succulents such as Echeveria and Sedum.
Edinburgh's Floral Clock was inspired by a carpet bedding display in West Princes Street Garden in 1902 to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII. The following year, John McHattie, the City's park superintendent at the time, and Edinburgh clockmakers James Ritchie and Son created the floral clock by installing a clock mechanism in the base of the Allan Ramsay Monument.
The early designs for the clock were carried out by John McHattie who was advised by James Mossman, a direct descendant of the court jeweller to Mary Queen of Scots. The first clock began ticking on 10 June 1903 with an hour hand only. A minute hand was added in 1904.
In 1905 the mechanism based on organ pipes and bellows to replicate the sound of the cuckoo was installed in a box next to the Floral Clock to record the hour. The early mechanism did not include the house for the cuckoo or indeed a full scale model of the bird.
Until 1928, the design of the floral clock was based on geometrical shapes with the clock numerals being clearly identified by using a yellow leafed plant. William Grant was appointed Head Gardener in Princes Street Gardens in 1928 and designed and supervised the planting of the clock until he retired in 1946. During the Second World War, motif designs on the clock commemorated wartime events and victories.
In 1953, a house for the cuckoo was installed with a life-size replica of a cuckoo which appears outside the house to sound every quarter hour
The original 1903 clockwork mechanism that drove the Floral Clock was converted to electric in 1973.
Each year a new display is planted in West Princes Street Gardens along the lines of a topical theme. It celebrated the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2012 and Platinum Jubilee in 2022. In 1994 it took as its inspiration the centenary of the life of Robert Louis Stevenson, in 1974 the clock celebrated 100 years of West Princes Street Garden, and in 2023 it marks the centenary of the Flying Scotsman.

Keighley Bus Co has upgraded the Keighley-Skipton Dalesway route to double decker, and after a brief interregnum with recycled B7TLs, has introduced ex Burnley & Pendle Witch Way B9TLs in route colours which suit the vehicles far better than the Witch Way monochrome (in my opinion). Here is BF63HCY. The Versas have gone to new work, including the new Flyer airport contract in place of the previous Yorkshire Tiger run service.

I have received a text from whichever part of the government is maintaining the status of our health and status that I no longer have to shield so I can go further than my home and garden. I dusted down the Leica M9 and we went for a short walk in the nearby countryside. We passed a number of houses with tributes to key workers. The straw leaking from this could symbolise the somewhat ragged performance of our government!
