Our journey on The Bittern Line from Norwich to Sheringham to a railway event at the heritage North Norfolk Railway with Greater Anglia was interrupted at Cromer due to ongoing engineering works between Cromer and Sheringham. So like many others across the network at the weekend, a rail replacement coach it is then.
The irony here is that this very pleasant, clean and tidy luxury coach was light years better than the Greater Anglia train we travelled in from Norwich to Cromer.. Unusually for me, I completely neglected to record in my travel notes the details of this unbranded coach, make, model, operator, year of manufacture and so on etc.
Note the British Rail 'double arrow' logo at the top of Cromer Station location marker post thingy. This logo is designed to show two arrows showing the direction of travel on a twin track line.
The British Rail logo which first appeared in 1965 with the British Transport Commission's rebrand of British Railways was designed by Gerald Burney. It is brilliantly simplistic, instantly recognisable and arguably one of the most enduring of any logo design for a United Kingdom only brand .
Despite privatisation and the end of British Rail from 1997 the double arrow remains in use on tickets, direction signs, outside stations as shown here and as the National Rail brand logo.

assumption being the mother of all f**** ups! The Technika is so handmade that the holes in the springs/screws only align for their particular place in the frame and the groundglass opening is not quite a true rectangle........ hence the somewhat less than proper lefthandside of the glass, what a pain when you are too close and it won't go in.
The screen that came with the camera was not original, the glass was too thick and I suppose whoever changed it shattered it immediately upon tightening the screws. The cut corners were very good though it keeps the bellows from drawing a vacuum when pulling them out.
To start the repair of the SR 99 Aurora bridge in Seattle during November 2019, crews removed the paint from the steel so they had a clean surface and good look at the damage.

View from the N of Rosendale Road railway bridge "No.2" (Herne Hill and West Dulwich, London) carrying suburban line services to and from London Bridge terminus. The green bridge has just replaced an older one, during work carried out in the early hours of January 19th 2014.
The previous bridge (1950s-1960s) replaced an even older one (1866) supported on the same cast iron columns (not visible here but see accompanying photos in this series). During the present replacement work, the columns were then also removed forever. The school crossing here was temporarily obliterated by the bridge works.

ROSENDALE ROAD RAILWAY BRIDGES
There were three railway bridges over Rosendale Road, two of which still exist. They don't appear to have names, so I have numbered them arbitrarily.
"No.1" is the most northern one, close to Brockwell Park, behind the camera viewpoint. It currently carries suburban line services of the Thameslink network between Wimbledon and Sutton and central London (and beyond).
This view shows "No.2" orignally built in 1866 for the London Brighton and South Coast Railway. It rested on brick abutments and on red cast iron columns. But the girder bridge itself, and its railings, must have been younger, having apparently replaced the older, more ornate, structure some time after 1952 (compare the photo of its more ornate predecessor in Edwin Course's article, below). The original bridge was designed by Charles Barry Junior. The large sums paid by the then railway company (London, Brighton and South Coast Railway) for construction of its line across the Dulwich Estate, with other bridges matching this one, enabled the Estate to build the present main building of Dulwich College (1857-1866).

RAILWAY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT WORK IN DULWICH & HERNE HILL, JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2014 (14/39)
This bridge, and two further sister bridges carrying the same line over neighbouring streets, had been in poor condition for some time. After a period of preparation work, the replacement work happening here began in January 2014. Two neighbouring streets, one of them a busy main road, were closed to traffic concurrently for about two weeks, and another was closed for work on the third bridge shortly afterwards. They were also closed to pedestrians at weekends as can be seen in this photo which shows the pavements closed off. To minimise disruption to train services, the main replacement work was carried out night and day in continuous shifts over two weekends. Huge hydraulic cranes, like the green 750 tonne one (Liebherr LTM1750-9._1) in the photo, had to come from Scotland (James Jack, Ainscough) to do this engineering work because there were no cranes available nearer to London capable of handling the old and new bridges.

Once the old steel plates were removed from the SR 99 Aurora bridge in Seattle in November 2019, crews cleaned and primed the stringer to make it ready for the replacement plates that hold the stringer to the beam.
Major engineering work to renew Stoats Nest Junction (Coulsdon) has led to main London-Gatwick-Brighton line being blocked from Christmas to New Year.
Alternative routes advertised include trains running to Gatwick via Sutton, Dorking and Horsham ; to Brighton via Dorking, Horsham and Littlehampton ; fast trains to East Grinstead for bus connections to Gatwick and Three Bridges ; and buses linking Coulsdon Town (on the Tattenham Corner branch) with Redhill, Gatwick and Three Bridges.
The Coulsdon Town service has provided a use for the crossovers and signals installed to facilitate terminating trains that were installed when Coulsdon North was closed. However, the facility has not been regularly used for many years.
Buses from Coulsdon Town were operated by Go-Ahead London General with a mixture of vehicles, many running non-stop via the M23 motorway to Gatwick or Three Bridges. The stopping services to Redhill I saw were being operated by Metrobus who are of course also a Go-Ahead company.
Plenty of rail and Go-ahead staff were on site to assist passengers with luggage of which there seemed to be a great deal.
It was probably as well that there werew no school services required as this meant spare buses and crews were available ; including work for the Tridents with LED destination displays which cannot, of course, operate TfL services.

Stagecoach Olympian 16292 in South West Trains livery waits at Farnborough on a Rail Replacement service to Alton.
Now bolted into position but needs a shim removed from the bottom hinge in order it to pull closer to the body.
After fitting and thinking it looked o.k. had a look from the driver's side and saw daylight between the door and body when it was fully closed.
Will sort it out tomorrow.
This door doesn't look the best but it's solid compared to the one that was originally there.
Will need a respray as the paintwork isn't tidy.

As a replacement for the Soviet Union's earlier diesel-electric submarines, work began in 1967 on Project 671-class nuclear attack submarines. The idea behind the Project 671s was to use a more hydrodynamic teardrop shape to give better underwater performance, while nuclear propulsion would give them high speed. The intention of the 671s was to hunt down and sink American ballistic missile submarines before they could launch, and support Soviet surface fleets; should war break out with NATO, it would also be utilized to sink merchant ships, though this was not its main purpose. Its main armament consisted of six torpedo tubes, capable of launching wire-guided torpedoes, antiship missiles, or mines. The class was named the Yorsh-class (named for the ruffe fish); NATO gave it the reporting name Victor.
Though the Yorsh (Victor-I) and subsequent Syomga (Victor-II) classes were successful and reliable attack submarines, its noisy nuclear plant made it easy to track by NATO antisubmarine forces. To improve this, the Soviets began to produce the definitive Shchuka (Pike) class, codenamed Victor-III by NATO, in 1979. Improvements to the nuclear powerplant, a more quiet double-propeller, and reduction in size of its flooding ports improved its chances against detection, while it added a pod atop the stern fin for a towed sonar array, allowing it a much better chance of survival than using active search for targets. (The pod was initially thought to be a silent magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system by NATO; this inspired Tom Clancy to write "The Hunt for Red October.")
Had war broken out between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in the 1980s, the Victor-IIIs would have been the primary attack submarine used by the Soviet Navy. They were gradually replaced by the quieter and more advanced Sierra and Akula class, though four Victors are still in service with the Russian Navy today.
I built this kit in high school from a 1/350 Dragon model. It turned out rather well, and has survived five or six moves in remarkably good shape, aside from a missing propeller. The dark gray over light gray scheme is inaccurate; it should be a darker gray over anticorrision dark red. In my defense, that's the scheme that the model company used...
In 1972 Montgomery Wards asked Minoru Yamasaki, a Japanese architect and designer of the World Trade Center in New York, to create a plan for a new headquarters building on Chicago's North Side. The result was a bulky, somewhat forbidding Modernist hunk of 1970s architecture. With the demise of Wards the building's new owners had the foresight to hire SOM and Pappageorge/Haymes in 2005 to re-imagine the building as condominiums. The result, especially the replacement of the old bronze curtainwall with reflective blue glass, is a much lighter, attractive addition to a still-changing neighborhood.
Rail replacement services between Three Bridges and Brighton are usually in the hands of double deck buses, many sourced from within the Go Ahead group. London E150 (SN60 BZY) passes Metrobus Scania Omnidekka 484 (YN53 RYW) yesterday morning, October 5th, 2014.
Liverpool Street opened in 1874 as a replacement for Bishopsgate station as the Great Eastern Railway's main London terminus. By 1895, it had the largest number of platforms on any terminal railway station in London. During the First World War, Liverpool Street was attacked by a daylight air raid. In the build-up to the Second World War the station served as the entry point for thousands of child refugees arriving in London as part of the Kindertransport rescue mission. The station was damaged by the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing, and during the 7 July 2005 terrorist attacks in the city seven passengers were killed when a bomb exploded aboard an Underground train just after it had departed from Liverpool Street.
Liverpool Street was built as a dual-level station with an underground station opened in 1875 for the Metropolitan Railway, named Bishopsgate until 1909 when it was renamed as Liverpool Street. The Underground station is served by the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, and is in fare zone 1

On Sunday 27th and Monday 28th December First Berkshire operated a non-stop rail replacement service between Slough and Hillingdon, to connect with Metrolpolitan Line trains to and from Central London. Trident 33179 is seen resting at Hillingdon on Monday 28th December before working the 13.47 journey back to Slough - the buses were timed to connect with a half-hourly shuttle train service between Slough and Reading.
****************************************
On Sunday 27th and Monday 28th December 2015 the railway was completely closed between Slough and London Paddington to allow various Crossrail-related works to take place.
Long-distance services were curtailed at Reading or diverted into London Paddington and London Marylebone, whilst a limited half-hourly shuttle train service was operated between Reading and Slough. A half-hourly rail replacement bus service operated between Slough and Ealing Broadway, using RATP London United Darts, Enviro200s and Optare Versas supplemented by coaches from a number of local operators - the route was single-decked because of the low bridge at Langley Station (this was supplemented by additional 'shorts' between Hayes & Harlington and Ealing Broadway, some of which were double-decked). A half-hourly service was also operated between Slough and Maidenhead to serve Burnham and Taplow, which could not be served by trains. This was nominally a separate service but was worked in practice as an extension of the Slough-Ealing Broadway service with buses pausing at Slough for several minutes.
An alternative service was provided between Slough and Hillingdon Underground non-stop for Metropolitan Line connections to Baker Street; this also ran half-hourly this was operated by First Berkshire using Tridents and a Green Line Volvo.
As well as the dedicated rail replacement buses rail tickets were widely accepted on alternative rail, Underground and bus routes in Slough and West London, and the 81 in particular was carrying good loads between Slough and Hounslow West.
For completeness, on both days Reading Buses and Horseman Coaches also operated rail replacement buses between Maidenhead and Marlow, extended to High Wycombe to connect with Chiltern Railways services to and from London Marylebone.
