I know this looks like a rip off of ~ jules ~ shot but I have reasons:
1) My sunset shot over Cardiff failed as the sunset wasn't great.
2) This was the backup idea as it fits the Macro Monday theme: Games People Play.
3) I haven't posted to the Macro Monday group in a while.

Can anyone identify the people in the photograph.
This may not be everyone's cup of tea I could have enhanced the sharpness but wanted to portray the feeling of movement.
My Black and White collection has recently come back to me after being absent for over 20 years. 'A long story'! I will probably bore you with many more of these in the future.

On the "down" platform the "Harrington Hump" is evident.
This is a custom-built modular system devised to elevate now under-height platforms to train door level and is ramped to facilitate access for the disabled.
Its name derives from the fact that the initial installation of a hump was on the "up" platform at Harrington, 4 stations down the line from St. Bees.

"kuinka paljoa enemmän on Kristuksen veri, hänen, joka iankaikkisen Hengen kautta uhrasi itsensä viattomana Jumalalle, puhdistava meidän omantuntomme kuolleista teoista palvelemaan elävää Jumalaa!"
"huru mycket mer skall icke Kristi blod -- då han nu genom evig ande har framburit sig själv såsom ett felfritt offer åt Gud -- rena våra samveten från döda gärningar till att tjäna den levande Guden!"
"how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
Hebr. 9:14
A friend has a collection of these pieces of jewelry. I had not heard of them but often they contained pictures of the loved ones and a symbol of their branch of the armed services. Interesting!
The 2H62 11:20 Wick [11:22 ex-Thurso] ScotRail service to Inverness is eased into the Up platform loop at Muir of Ord. The tokens were being exchanged that would enable 37417 'Highland Region' to continue its journey south with this Sunday service.

156464 slows to a stand at Midge Hall on 4th October 2022 with 2F47 1326 Preston to Ormskirk. The driver will collect the token as authority to proceed to Rufford where it will be surrendered to the signaller there and the train will continue to Ormskirk on the single line under One Train Working rules, again with another token.
It would be very unusual if a driver stopped or even slightly slowed for a token exchange in the days when I was at Rufford, and the act of giving and receiving the tokens for the two single lines was done at some speed!
This was something I saw taken to the extremes when travelling behind 37s on the West Highland Line in the early eighties, when some of the token handovers made our West Lancashire ones look positively pedestrian....
"By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer."

A recently completed scheme at the junction of the Buckingham Road and the Upper Shoreham Road. The main element is a much needed extra pedestrian crossing on the USR, which will be well used by kids and parents heading to and from the local schools. There's also this short strip of bike lane. I will use it most days, but on its own it has minimal impact. It does put-off parents on the school run from parking on the yellow/double yellow lines that were here, partially blocking the junction. A proper cycle lane along the USR would be good, but the well has been poisoned by the awful temporary one that got put in and taken out over the pandemic.
Something of a rarity is the sight of a token exchange involving a High Speed Train, but on each summer Saturday this occurs on four occasions at Whitland, Carmarthenshire.
This example features 1L90, the 14.55 (SO) Pembroke Dock to Paddington, on 23 June 2018, the train had just come off the Pembroke Dock branch behind the photographer, the driver giving-up the token to the signalman before the working continues its journey to the capital.

An opportunity was almost missed on Wednesday due to a non updated T.O.P.S list.
At 7.30am 37401 & 37409 were showing "Under Genius Control" as they were the previous day.
I was at my father-in-law's during the morning and there's no mobile phone reception at his gaff and so it wasn't until lunchtime that I discovered, through gen' sites, that 37402 had replaced 409 on the first southbound out of Carlisle that morning.
This meant that for the first time since inception both Cumbrian coast loco-hauled diagrams were sporting a large logo Tractor.
A plan was immediately formulated to attempt a shot of the two passing at St. Bees.
The 14.37 BIF - CAR was first to arrive and here the driver of its loco, 37402, is seen handing the token for the Sellafield single line section to the St. Bees signalwoman.
