Northern Rail pacer 144023 approaches Meadowhall Interchange with the ex 11.13 Huddersfield to Sheffield via Penistone station
Rhiw Goch a passing loop on the Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway. Located north of Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd, North Wales.
It was originally a passing loop and an exchange point for the horses that worked the line, opening in 1836. Horses were stabled overnight at Rhiw Goch farm, which adjoins the line further south nearer to the village. When the railway converted to using steam locomotives in 1863, Rhiw Goch passing loop was no longer needed and was closed.
The passing loop was reinstated at Rhiw Goch in 1975. Its location, approximately equidistant from Minffordd and Tan-y-Bwlch stations, allows maximum flexibility in timetabling, permitting up and down trains to cross with minimum waiting. The location provides a long passing loop which accommodates full length Ffestiniog trains. This is the only former 'horse station' at which it is still possible to pass trains, although Cae Ednyfed, lies within the current Minfford station limits.
In 1989 the box was taken out of use, with the signal heads being removed and the token instrument from Tan-y-Bwlch, and although the trap points (from Minffordd) were installed at the Tan-y-Bwlch end of the loop, they were never commissioned. During this period, the ground frame was only usable as a refuge siding, and it was not possible to cross passenger trains.
In 1999 the box was recommissioned, with replacement signal heads being installed, the Tan-y-Bwlch end trap points were removed and new power cabling was installed.
Rhiw Goch has the only regularly manned signal box on the railway and the 1974 vintage box was replaced by a new enlarged box during 2006/7. This included provision for the bats which have made the signal box their home.
Although trains regularly stop here to wait for a train travelling in the opposite direction to pass, passengers can not alight from or join trains here. There is no public access to Rhiw Goch except by train.

O beauty, passing beauty! Sweetest sweet!
This was a quick shot, had no time to really think of arranging those two pieces within the frame, but somehow I like this one.
This a exhibition that has just opened today .. I think about the Red Zoned suburb of Avonside. Red zone means that all house have to come down or be removed from the area because the land is too badly damage for anyone to live there because of the earthquake damaged land. Christchurch August 23, 2013 New Zealand.
Thx 4 the Memories is the first part of a 10-year Place in Time project documenting the red-zoned suburb of Avonside as it transitions from Christchurch's second-oldest suburban area to parkland following the February 2011 earthquake.
The Place in Time project has been recording Christchurch and a cross-section of its people through photography, oral history and documentary writing since 2000.
The Avonside-focused exhibition opening on the afternoon of August 22 will feature edited-down versions of comprehensive oral histories from local residents.
Fifty panels set-up along Worcester Boulevard, between the Arts Centre's market square and Cathedral Square, would feature photographs of Avonside since the February quake, while the other side of the panels would display written excerpts from the oral histories and portraits of the residents involved.
The histories were compiled and written by UC senior arts lecturer Glenn Busch and are accompanied by portraits by Bridgit Anderson and landscape images by photography lecturer Tim Veling.
The display is part of the Christchurch Arts Festival.
The festival runs from August 22 to September 22.
Veling hoped the display could be moved to other parts of the country later.

The Settle and Wensleydale Nenta Train tour passing Wylam on the return leg from Carlisle to Norwich on 31 May 2014.
70805 is seen passing Woodgrange Park while working 6V62 Tilbury to Llanwern, empty steel train. This was the first time a class 70 had worked this train throughout, as on two previous occasions a class 70 had joined the train part way along its journey. (03/12/14)
How many times we have been mere observers of passing trains? How many times have we not dared take a train to unknown? How many times have we seen it leave the station without us getting on?
Life is about taking trains or waiting for another to come. Take yours. Do not stay behind. Nice Sunday to you all!!
The ranks of Greater Manchester Police Volunteer Cadets grew in number last night, 13 November 2017, when the latest intake’s passing out parade took place at Bolton’s Victoria Hall.
The event was attended by new recruits from cadet units across the region.
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins welcomed the new cadets to the force and presented them with their certificates.
The High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, Gerry Yeung OBE DL, also attended and made a speech congratulating the young people on their achievement.
The Mayor of Bolton, Councillor Roger Hayes was also amongst the special guests.
Hundreds of the new cadets friends and families packed the hall to watch the ceremony.
The Greater Manchester Police Volunteer Police Cadets were founded in 2012.
The scheme is aimed at 13- 17 year-olds and provides a programme of weekly Cadet nights filled with activity, information and – hopefully – some fun.
The aims of the scheme include:
•Promoting and encouraging a practical interest in policing among young people,
•Providing training which will encourage positive leadership within communities which will include volunteering opportunities,
•Encouraging a spirit of adventure and developing qualities of leadership and good citizenship. Cadets will be given the opportunity to obtain a Duke of Edinburgh Award, a First Aid qualification and more.
Cadet units are based in areas where there is currently little to occupy local youngsters.
Volunteers have to apply, stating their reasons for wanting to be part of the scheme and are encouraged to remain with the scheme for as long as they can.
On reaching the end of their time as a cadet, they will be given advice on careers and business, help with CVs and information about any opportunities to remain with the Force.
During a "probationary" period they experience drill, physical exercise classes and advice on subjects such as the effective and safe use of social media.
Further items on the curriculum are lessons on the law, public order awareness, phonetics and radio use, problem solving … and more drill!
The scheme's team leaders are also volunteers and include schools based officers, PCSO's, special constables and university students, all contributing their own time to run each cadet night.

A ship passing through the 6.343 km long, 25 meters wide and 63 meters deep Corinth (Korinthos) Canal in Greece. The Isthmus of Corinth which the canal cuts through is the only narrow connection between Central Greece and Peloponnese. Building of the canal started already in the time of Emperor Nero (mr Nero personally dug some land with little golden pickaxe). They didn't manage to finish it at that time though - the canal was opened in 1893.
