In a worrying situation for the X27, despite the hive of activity at TECA the service was still shunned by passengers. An empty X27 arrives at TECA flagged down by a passenger who thought it was a 727 who then decided to wait rather than take the X27 back in to town, presumably a return ticket passenger although the X27 was shunned for the 727 on all but once occasion while I was there and ironically the only time a passenger boarded the X27 it then went off service from Four Mile as it was running late leaving passengers to transfer on to the next bus.
Waiting for the sunset on the beach of Mosterios, a small village in the municipality of Ponta Delgada in Sao Miguel. Mosterios, meaning “monastery” in Portuguese, was named after the nearby islets, the largest of which is shaped like a church.

Southern California.
One of the half hourly Hythe Pier shuttles from the Quay arrives at the end of the pier. From here passengers destined for Southampton change on to the connecting ferry service, which takes just 15 minutes.
Initially a tramway was laid along the 700 yard Hythe Pier for luggage to be conveyed to and from the ferries. A narrow gauge railway was laid in 1909 and vehicles moved by hand. In 1922 the track was re-laid and the 2 foot gauge line was electrified using a third rail at 250V. The locomotives, which date from 1917, were originally battery powered and used during the latter part of the First World War in a mustard gas factory in Avonmouth. Upon arrival at Hythe the batteries were removed and the locomotives were converted for third rail operation. Passenger rolling stock consists of four bogie vehicles, two of which have driving controls at the seaward end. The normal mode of operation is for one of the locos to be at the landward end, hauling and propelling three coaches and a four wheeled flat wagon which can be used to convey luggage. The line also has a four-wheel oil-tank car, used to carry fuel to the ferries.

SSC 08/08/20: Patriotism, or love of one’s country ...
Forgive this rambling, but I wanted to set out my train of thought leading to my SSC posting this week. Like most people, we Brits can define who we are in more than one way. That’s to say, though our nation is the United Kingdom and our nationality is British, as often as not we identify with the constituent country of the UK that we’re rooted in. For instance, I have English roots and I live in England, so that’s my country. But I also have strong Scottish and Welsh roots (hence my Scottish first names and Welsh last name) which I also take pride in. So I’ve used symbols of those three countries to which I have these proud ancestral links and loyalties, and brought them together in front of our national flag:
Left: Y Draig Coch, the red dragon of Wales, the ancient principality and land of bards, legend, chapels and song,
Right: a pottery model I made a while back of a thatched cottage, quintessentially English, representing the country that gave the world Shakespear, railways, cricket, and The Beatles,
Back: along with Robbie Burns, bagpipes, shortbread, and haggis, symbols of one way Scotland has preserved its identity over a thousand years of being England’s close neighbour.
(Northern Ireland isn’t forgotten, but I’ve not discovered any connection there in my ancestry.)
