Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGG7E7 - Editorial photograph of McDonald's self-service ordering kiosks inside a fast food restaurant, with a large touchscreen promoting a Double Big Tasty meal and a second ordering point visible in the background. The image is useful for stories about stock-photo/gotonysmith-Digital.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>digital ordering, restaurant automation, fast food marketing, upselling, consumer choice, junk food, unhealthy eating, portion size, obesity, public health and the changing experience of buying takeaway meals. The illuminated burger advertising, card payment reader and standing kiosk design show how quick-service restaurants encourage customers to browse, customise and pay without speaking to a cashier, while the bright product photography and menu prompts can steer people toward larger or more indulgent items. The photograph also has strong relevance for hygiene and infection-control debates around public touchscreens, but the specific screen shown should not be described as dirty or contaminated unless separately tested. A 2018 London Metropolitan University test, reported with Metro, found bacteria on self-ordering touchscreens sampled in London and Birmingham restaurants, including gut and faecal bacteria, making the image suitable for wider editorial themes around shared surfaces, hand hygiene and public health. NHS advice says washing hands properly removes dirt, viruses and bacteria and helps stop infections spreading to other people and objects. The indoor setting has artificial restaurant lighting, tiled flooring and visible customers, with no sky, weather or season clues. This is a contemporary stock image for fast food, digital transformation, touchscreen kiosks, card payments, labour-saving technology, queue management, menu psychology, high street food chains, McDonald's branding, value meals, burger promotions, customer self-service, food temptation and the tension between convenience, public health advice and the commercial design of quick-service restaurants.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EENHYF - MV Clansman, a Caledonian MacBrayne ferry, lies in Oban harbour at dusk with a vivid orange, blue and purple sunset reflected on calm water and fishing gear silhouetted in the foreground. The image combines west coast Scottish travel beauty with the harder editorial story of lifeline ferry reliability, ageing vessels, disrupted island services and the dependence of island communities on regular sailings for work, healthcare, school, freight, tourism and everyday life. CalMac's own material describes MV Clansman, Fear-cinnidh in Gaelic, as a major vessel in its fleet, while Oban is one of the key ferry ports for routes to Mull, Coll, Tiree, Colonsay and other Hebridean destinations. Official performance reporting and Scottish transport consultation material recognise reliability and resilience as priority issues because disruption has direct impacts on ferry-dependent communities, businesses and visitors. This photograph is useful for news, travel and policy coverage of CalMac, Caledonian MacBrayne, Oban ferry terminal, Scottish island transport, Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services, lifeline ferries, cancelled sailings, technical faults, vessel breakdowns, timetable disruption, replacement ferries, port infrastructure, public service contracts and Scottish Government ferry policy. The beautiful twilight scene creates a strong contrast with concerns about unreliable services, making the picture suitable for features on island depopulation, tourism uncertainty, supply chains, rural resilience, public transport investment, ferry fleet renewal, harbour capacity, weather disruption and the social cost when ferries fail. With the ferry name visible, the harbour setting, fishing boat rigging, still water and dramatic evening sky give strong search value for Oban, Argyll, west coast Scotland, Hebridean travel, ferry disruption, island life, maritime transport, coastal communities, public infrastructure and Scottish travel journalism and remote island resilience too.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RBXAPE - Waterloo station also known as London Waterloo, is a central London terminus on the National Rail network in the United Kingdom, in the Waterloo area of the London Borough of Lambeth. It is connected to a London Underground station of the same name and is adjacent to Waterloo East station on the South Eastern Main Line. The station is the terminus of the South West Main Line to Weymouth via Southampton, the West of England main line to Exeter via Salisbury, the Portsmouth Direct line to Portsmouth Harbour which connects with ferry services to the Isle of Wight, and several commuter services around west and south-west London, Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire.
The station was opened in 1848 by the London and South Western Railway, and it replaced the earlier Nine Elms as it was closer to the West End. It was never designed to be a terminus, as the original intention was to continue the line towards the City of London, and consequently the station developed in a haphazard fashion, leading to difficulty finding the correct platform. The station was rebuilt in the early 20th century, opening in 1922, and included the Victory Arch over the main entrance, which commemorated World War I. Waterloo was the last London terminus to provide steam-powered services, which ended in 1967. The station was the London terminus for Eurostar international trains from 1994 until 2007, when they were transferred to St. Pancras.
Waterloo is the busiest railway station in the UK, handling 41 million passengers in the year to March 2022. It is also the UK's largest station in terms of floor space and has the greatest number of platforms.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PYBHDA - Passengers disembark from a Jet2 stock-photo/gotonysmith-Aircraft.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>aircraft on an airport apron at dusk, using mobile stairs in warm evening light after landing. The panoramic image shows travellers leaving the front door of the aircraft, stepping down onto the apron with hand luggage and bags, while another set of mobile stairs is positioned towards the rear. The low evening sun, blue sky, orange horizon, apron markings and open airfield setting make this a strong editorial travel photograph for stories about arrivals, holiday flights, package travel, short-haul aviation, airport operations and passenger handling. The scene captures the practical moment after landing when passengers leave the aircraft away from a jet bridge and move towards the terminal or onward transfer arrangements. The visible Jet2 branding, aircraft stairs, cabin door, passengers, luggage and ground markings give the image clear context for UK and European leisure travel, airport turnaround procedures and the everyday rhythm of budget and holiday airline operations. It is commercially useful for articles on evening arrivals, summer holidays, airport capacity, regional airports, passenger experience, travel disruption, airline punctuality, package holidays, tourism and the changing economics of air travel. The wide panoramic crop adds scale and atmosphere, showing both the aircraft and the surrounding apron rather than a tight close-up of passengers. The picture can also support broader features on aviation emissions, sustainable aviation, low-cost travel, airside safety, ground crew coordination and the pressure on airlines to turn aircraft round efficiently. Care should be taken not to imply boarding, delay or any incident unless supported by separate information, because the visible action is routine passenger disembarkation after arrival. As a documentary stock image, it records a familiar but visually appealing end-of-flight moment, with passengers stepping from aircraft to apron under a calm dusk sky.

Deutsche Lufthansa AG commonly shortened to Lufthansa, serves as the flag carrier of Germany. When combined with its subsidiaries, it stands as the second-largest airline in Europe in terms of passengers carried, after the ultra low-cost carrier Ryanair. Lufthansa is also one of the five founding members of Star Alliance, which is the world's largest airline alliance, formed in 1997.
Besides its own services, and owning subsidiary passenger airlines Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings (referred to in English by Lufthansa as its Passenger Airline Group), Deutsche Lufthansa AG owns several aviation-related companies, such as Lufthansa Technik and LSG Sky Chefs, as part of the Lufthansa Group. In total, the group has over 700 aircraft, making it one of the largest airline fleets in the world.
Lufthansa's registered office and corporate headquarters are in Cologne. The main operations base, called Lufthansa Aviation Center, is at Lufthansa's primary hub at Frankfurt Airport, and its secondary hub is at Munich Airport where a secondary Flight Operations Centre is maintained.
The company was founded as Luftag in 1953 by staff of the former Deutsche Luft Hansa that had been politically connected to the government of Nazi Germany and dissolved after World War II. Luftag continued the traditional branding of the German flag carrier by acquiring the Luft Hansa name and logo.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NK27W5 - Travelex is a foreign exchange company founded by Lloyd Dorfman and headquartered in Peterborough. Its main businesses are foreign currency exchange, issuing prepaid credit cards for use by travellers, supplying central banks with foreign currency and global remittance. Travelex operates more than 1,100 stores and 900 ATMs in over 20 countries.
History
Travelex was founded as Express Exchange by Dorfman and opened its first branch in central London in 1976. By 1978 the company had four central London stores.
The company experienced growth in the 1980s, opening its first international store in 1984 in Rotterdam, and its first store at Heathrow Terminal 4 in 1986. Express Exchange subsequently became Travellers Exchange Corporation or Travelex when abbreviated
On 31 December 2019, Travelex took its UK and international websites and mobile apps offline following a reported cyber incident an action that also affected a number of large corporate third parties to whom Travelex provided a white-labelled travel money service including the online travel money services of supermarket chains such as ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury's.
On 7 January 2020, it was claimed that the company was being held to ransom by hackers. The cyber criminals reportedly demanded £4.6 million ($6 million) in ransom from Travelex after infecting its network with Sodinokibi ransomware, having claimed to have copied more than 5GB of customer personal data

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NK2804 - Pret A Manger /ˈprɛt ə ˈmɒ̃ʒeɪ/ (prêt à manger is French for ready to eat) is an international sandwich shop franchise chain based in the United Kingdom, popularly referred to as Pret, founded in 1983. As of December 2022, Pret had 434 shops in the UK, including 273 in London, plus three Veggie Prets, which focus exclusively on vegetarian and vegan options. It also has shops in France, the US, Hong Kong and several other countries. Around 90% of all Pret shops worldwide donate their unsold fresh food to local charities, giving more than 16,000 sandwiches, wraps, salads and baguettes every day to homeless shelters and charities.
Two university friends, Sinclair Beecham and Julian Metcalfe, purchased the original Pret after bancrupcy.
In 1995, Metcalfe and Beecham set up The Pret Foundation, to help alleviate poverty in the UK. The Pret Foundation received donations from collection boxes in shops, funding a fleet of electric vans that deliver unsold food to homeless shelters at the end of each day, including FareShare, The Felix Project and City Harvest. The Pret Foundation has awarded over £7 million to over 100 charities across the UK, tackling homelessness, hunger and poverty.
The first shop outside London was opened on Broad Street, New York, in 2000, and by 2016, there were 74 Pret shops across the United States. In 2001, McDonald's bought a 33% non-controlling stake in the company, which they sold in 2008 to the private equity firm Bridgepoint Capital.
Pret a Manger Staff Union
In response to labour issues within the company, the Pret a Manger Staff Union was established in 2012 as an independent union with its principal demand being made around calls for a Living Wage. Andrej Stopa, the founder of the union, was later sacked from his Pret branch.
Failure to list ingredients on packaging
In late 2015, a 17-year-old girl collapsed and needed emergency medical care after a life-threatening reaction to sesame, which was present in a Pret product

The Mission Impossible-influenced installation targets the 11m passengers who go through Terminal One every year, with the tagline: It's a deal. It's a steal.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NK28BJ - Emirates (Arabic: طَيَران الإمارات DMG: Ṭayarān Al-Imārāt) is one of two flag carriers of the United Arab Emirates (the other being Etihad). Based in Garhoud, Dubai, the airline is a subsidiary of The Emirates Group, which is owned by the government of Dubai's Investment Corporation of Dubai. As of 2019, it was also the largest airline in the Middle East, operating over 3,600 flights per week from its hub at Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport. It operates to more than 150 cities in 80 countries across all continents (except Antarctica) through its fleet of nearly 300 aircraft. Cargo activities are undertaken by Emirates SkyCargo.
Emirates is the world's fourth-largest airline by scheduled revenue passenger-kilometers flown, and the second-largest in terms of freight tonne-kilometers flown.
During the mid-1980s, Gulf Air began to cut back its services to Dubai. As a result, Emirates was conceived on 15 March 1985, with backing from Dubai's royal family, with Pakistan International Airlines giving two of the airline's first aircraft. With $10 million in start-up capital, it was required to operate independently of government subsidy. Pakistan International Airlines provided free training facilities to Emirates' cabin crew at Karachi airport. The airline was headed by Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the airline's present chairman. In the years following its founding, the airline expanded both its fleet and its destinations. In October 2008, Emirates moved all operations at Dubai International Airport to Terminal 3.
Emirates operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing wide-body aircraft, and is one of the few airlines to operate an all-wide-body aircraft fleet (excluding Emirates Executive). As of December 2021, Emirates is the largest Airbus A380 operator with 119 aircraft in service, and with one aircraft having been retired. Since its introduction, the Airbus A380 has become an integral part of the Emirates fleet, especially on long-haul, high-density routes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NK28EP - EasyJet plc (styled as easyJet) is a British multinational low-cost airline group headquartered at London Luton Airport. It operates domestic and international scheduled services on 927 routes in more than 34 countries via its affiliate airlines EasyJet UK, EasyJet Switzerland, and EasyJet Europe. EasyJet plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. EasyGroup Holdings Ltd, the investment vehicle of the airline's founder, Greek-Cypriot businessman Stelios Haji-Ioannou, is the largest shareholder with a 15.27% stake (as of September 2021). It employs circa 13,000 people, based throughout Europe but mainly in the UK.
Since its establishment in 1995, EasyJet has expanded through a combination of acquisitions, and base openings fuelled by consumer demand for low-cost air travel. The group, along with associate companies EasyJet UK, EasyJet Europe and EasyJet Switzerland, operates 308 aircraft. It has 29 bases across Europe, the largest being Gatwick. In 2014, the airline carried more than 65 million passengers, making it the second-largest budget airline in Europe by number of passengers carried, behind Ryanair.
EasyJet was featured in the television series Airline, broadcast on ITV (19982007), which followed the airline's operations at London Luton and later at other bases. Its pilot training scheme was the subject of another ITV television series, easyJet: Inside the Cockpit, which premiered in August 2017.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NK28M5 - A Jet2holidays aircraft is pictured at Manchester Airport, Ringway, with the airport control tower rising behind it on the apron in daylight. The image works well as an editorial illustration of UK and EU aviation fuel supply risk, rising jet fuel prices and the possibility of higher air fares if Middle East conflict continues to disrupt oil and refined-product markets. It is especially relevant to coverage of the continuing conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel, and the wider threat to tanker traffic and petroleum flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The International Energy Agency said in April 2026 that attacks on energy infrastructure in the Middle East and restrictions to tanker movements through Hormuz had led to the largest oil supply disruption in history, tightening product markets and pushing prices sharply higher. IATA's Jet Fuel Price Monitor says the global average jet fuel price rose to 181.22 US dollars per barrel last week, while IATA also notes that fuel is one of the largest airline operating costs, commonly accounting for around 25 to 30 per cent of total operating expenses. That makes the photograph commercially useful for stories about aviation energy security, airline resilience, fuel hedging, higher holiday prices, package holidays, flight disruption risk, possible route cuts and the vulnerability of European leisure travel to external energy shocks. Jet2.com says it is the UK's third largest airline, adding extra relevance for mainstream consumer travel coverage. Care is needed not to imply that this specific aircraft was delayed, cancelled or affected by a local shortage, because the image simply shows a normal airport operating scene. Even so, it is a strong documentary image of the environment in which global energy-market pressure can feed through into airline economics, summer ticket prices, airport operations and the wider travel industry.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NK28P0 - Ethiopian Airlines (commonly referred to as Ethiopian), formerly Ethiopian Air Lines (EAL), is the flag carrier of Ethiopia, and is wholly owned by the country's government. EAL was founded on 21 December 1945 and commenced operations on 8 April 1946, expanding to international flights in 1951. The firm became a share company in 1965 and changed its name from Ethiopian Air Lines to Ethiopian Airlines.
The airline has been a member of the International Air Transport Association since 1959 and of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) since 1968. Ethiopian is a Star Alliance member, having joined in December 2011. The company slogan is The New Spirit of Africa. Ethiopian's hub and headquarters are at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, from where it serves a network of 125 passenger destinations20 of them domesticand 44 freighter destinations. The airline has secondary hubs in Togo and Malawi. Ethiopian is Africa's largest airline in terms of passengers carried, destinations served, fleet size, and revenue. Ethiopian is also the world's fourth-largest airline by the number of countries served.
A CNN investigation alleged that Ethiopian Airlines Cargo airplanes transported weapons to airports in Eritrea during the Tigray War. The airline billed Ethiopia's Ministry of Defence at least six times in November 2020. The article's reporter claimed that using civil aircraft to smuggle military weapons violates international aviation law

The close-up view captures the traditional tram destination box, curved balcony railings, cream and green livery and period styling associated with preserved tramway vehicles. Woodside Ferry is a key Mersey waterfront location in Birkenhead, linked with ferry services across the River Mersey and with the town's transport history. The heritage tramway connected Wirral Transport Museum with Woodside Ferry Terminal, giving visitors a short preserved tram ride between the museum, the waterfront and nearby bus and ferry interchange. The image is commercially useful for stories about tram preservation, electric trams, public transport heritage, Merseyside transport, Wirral tourism, Woodside Ferry, Birkenhead regeneration, local museums and the survival of historic urban transport. It can also illustrate the wider history of electric street tramways in Britain, including the way local authority tram systems once served working towns, ferry terminals, docks, shopping streets and residential districts before buses and private cars changed urban travel. The visible destination sign makes the photograph especially relevant for articles on route displays, tramway design, transport signage, preserved vehicles, museum collections and the nostalgia attached to historic public transport. Care is needed with current wording, as the Wirral Transport Museum and tramway have had periods of closure and uncertainty, with plans and funding discussions around reopening and redevelopment reported in recent years. As a documentary stock image, it records a distinctive detail of Birkenhead's tramway heritage, where the Woodside Ferry name, tram balcony and vintage styling combine to evoke ferry passengers, electric traction, museum volunteers and the wider transport memory of the Wirral waterfront.

The cream and green double deck tram, with open balcony and period livery, is one of the best-known vehicles associated with the Wirral Transport Museum and Heritage Tramway. The Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society says car 78 was built as late as 1920 by Brush, but in an old-fashioned design with open upper-deck balconies, and that it was the final tram to survive from Wallasey Corporation Tramways after withdrawal in 1933. Visit Wirral lists the Wirral Tramway and Wirral Transport Museum at 1 Taylor Street, Birkenhead, CH41 1BG, where heritage trams operated to Woodside Ferry. The image is commercially useful for stories about preserved trams, electric tramway heritage, Birkenhead transport history, Wirral tourism, museum volunteers, public transport nostalgia, Woodside Ferry and the wider history of urban transit on Merseyside. It can also illustrate the once-important links between ferry terminals, coastal suburbs and local authority tram systems, with New Brighton, Seacombe and Woodside all part of the historic transport geography of the Wirral. The distinctive destination blinds, polished paintwork, open platform and classic Edwardian-style design make the photograph especially strong for transport, heritage and leisure features. It is also useful for coverage of transport museums, family attractions, volunteer restoration work, route branding, destination displays and the visual appeal of traditional tram design. As a documentary stock image, it records a much-loved preserved tram at Woodside, evoking the era when trams carried passengers between Birkenhead, Wallasey and the seaside at New Brighton, and highlighting the role of preservation groups in keeping that history visible.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RF7M0D - Manchester Piccadilly is the principal railway station in Manchester, England. Opened as Store Street in 1842, it was renamed Manchester London Road in 1847 and Manchester Piccadilly in 1960. Located to the south-east of Manchester city centre, it hosts long-distance intercity and cross-country services to national destinations including London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol and Southampton
regional services to destinations in Northern England including Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle and York
and local commuter services around Greater Manchester. It is one of 19 major stations managed by Network Rail. The station has 14 platforms, twelve terminal and two through platforms. Piccadilly is also a major interchange with the Metrolink light rail system with two tram platforms in its undercroft.
Piccadilly is the busiest station in the Manchester station group with nearly 28 million passenger entries and exits between April 2017 and March 2018, (the other major stations in Manchester are Oxford Road and Victoria). It is the fourth busiest station in the United Kingdom outside London. The station hosts services from six train operating companies. It is the second busiest interchange station outside London, with almost 3.8 million passengers changing trains annually.
Between the late 1990s and early 2000s, Piccadilly Station was refurbished, taking five years and costing £100 million (in 2002), it was the most expensive improvement on the UK rail network at the time. Further improvements and expansion plans have been mooted. In October 2016, a Transport and Works Act application was submitted for the construction of two platforms as part of the Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Oxford Road Capacity Scheme. As of 2018, this application has not been approved by the government. To allow the station to accommodate high speed services under High Speed 2 proposals, five platforms would be required and the Metrolink station would be reconfigured.

Covering an area of over 25 acres (10 ha) in the centre of the city, it is the second-largest main line railway station in the United Kingdom in terms of area, the largest being London Waterloo
and is both a terminal station and a through station, in contrast to the majority of central London stations. Ticketing generally regards Waverley and Haymarket as interchangeable subject to operator validity.
It is one of 19 stations managed by Network Rail. It is the northern limit of the East Coast Main Line to Network Rail infrastructure definition, but through-services operate to Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Perth and Inverness.
There are many local services operated by ScotRail, including the four routes to Glasgow, the Fife Circle, and services to Stirling/Dunblane/Alloa/North Berwick/Dunbar, and the station is the terminus of the Edinburgh leg of the West Coast Main Line served by Virgin Trains and First TransPennine Express. Long distance inter-city trains to England are operated by CrossCountry to destinations such as York, Leeds, Sheffield, Derby, Birmingham New Street, Bristol Temple Meads, Exeter St Davids and Plymouth.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EC2T2J - Arpley Junction is adjacent to Warrington Bank Quay Station, but is located on the goods line that passes beneath. The line used to continue to Manchester but due to structural damage on a bridge over the Ship Canal, it was truncated at Latchford Sidings in the 1980s, just past Arpley Junction to the east.
The main freight passing beneath Warrington station are coal trains to Fiddlers Ferry Power Station. These follow a complex route from Liverpool Docks. Most workings reverse at Edge Hill, before proceeding via Rainhill and Earlestown and through Bank Quay station. They then run round in Arpley Yards, before passing Arpley Junction to Latchford Sidings. They then run round again to pass Arpley once more to head to Fiddlers Ferry. Occasionally they can be routed via Widnes to Liverpool instead of via the reverse of the above route, which will entail them exiting Fiddlers Ferry, passing Arpley Junction to Latchford, running round and heading back past Arpley and Fiddlers Ferry to Speke. Generally a train will take 30-40 minutes between passing through Bank Quay on the main line to heading under the station to Fiddlers Ferry. They will take about 90-120 minutes then to return. There are usually about 3 trains operating this circuit, but are dependant on a ship arriving at Liverpool Bulk Terminal.
Other freight trains also use Latchford Sidings to reverse when Arpley Yard is busy.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Station to Station is the tenth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1976. Commonly regarded as one of his most significant works, Station to Station is also notable as the vehicle for Bowie's last great 'character', The Thin White Duke.
The album was recorded after he completed shooting Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth, and the cover featured a still from the movie. During the sessions Bowie was heavily dependent on drugs, especially cocaine, and recalls almost nothing of the production.
Musically, Station to Station was a transitional album for Bowie, developing the funk and soul music of his previous release, Young Americans, while presenting a new direction towards synthesisers and motorik rhythms that was influenced by German electronic bands such as Kraftwerk and Neu!.
This trend would culminate in some of his most acclaimed work, the so-called Berlin Trilogy, recorded with Brian Eno in 1977\u201379. Bowie himself has said that Station to Station was 'a plea to come back to Europe for me'. The album\u2019s lyrics, meanwhile, reflected his preoccupations with Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley, mythology and religion.
With its blend of funk and Krautrock, romantic balladry and occultism, Station to Station has been described as 'simultaneously one of Bowie's most accessible albums and his most impenetrable'. Featuring the single 'Golden Years', it made the Top 5 in both the UK and US charts. In 2003, the album was ranked number 323 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
In the early days of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&
MR), the Liverpool terminus was located at Crown Street, in Edge Hill, officially opened in 1830. Construction of a purpose-built station began in October 1833, the land being purchased from Liverpool Corporation for \u00a39000. A tunnel was constructed between Edge Hill and the new station (starting in 1832, prior to station construction), and the station was opened to the public in August 1836, although construction was not completed until the following year.
Because of the steep incline between Lime Street and Edge Hill, trains were stopped at Edge Hill, their locomotives removed, and the passenger carriages taken down by gravity, descent controlled by brakemen. The return journey was achieved by using a stationary engine to haul the carriages up with rope.
Within six years, the rapid growth of the railways meant that the original station needed to be extended, and a plan was made to erect an iron roof similar to that found at Euston station in London, ridge roofs supported by iron columns
however, Richard Turner and William Fairburn submitted a design for a single curved roof, which won the approval of the station committee. The work cost \u00a315,000, and was completed in 1849. A second roof was added in the 1880s.
In 1845 the L&
MR was absorbed by its principal business partner, the Grand Junction Railway (GJR)
the following year the GJR formed part of the London and North Western Railway. The station was one of the first to send mail by train. The North Western Hotel designed by Alfred Waterhouse, was built in front of the station - this still stands, having been converted to accommodation for students of Liverpool John Moores University. At 'the grouping' in 1923, the station passed to the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish (LMS) railway, and, in 1948, the London Midland Region of British Railways.
Lime Street was part of the first stage of electrification of the West Coast Main Line in 1959. In 1966, the station saw the launch of the first InterCity service.
Lime Street was voted the equal worst of the 20 busiest UK railway stations in a 2007 poll but was voted 'Station of the Year 2010' at the National Rail Awards thanks in part to a recent reburbishment

Birkenhead had the first street tramway in Europe. Opened on 29 August 1860 the first line ran from Woodside (adjoining the terminal of the Mersey Ferry) to Birkenhead Park. This early system was horse-drawn and was the brainchild of flamboyant American, George Francis Train. A preserved tram was on display in the Woodside ferry terminal booking hall.
The system was later electrified and operated from 1901 as Birkenhead Corporation Tramways. Two replica trams, imported from Hong Kong, have been brought into service as part of a heritage tramway between Woodside and Wirral Transport Museum, and Birkenhead Corporation Tramways Car No.20 is preserved on this line and shown here.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PM6538 - Manchester Airport (IATA: MAN, ICAO: EGCC) is an international airport in Ringway, Manchester, England, 7.5 nautical miles (13.9 km
8.6 mi) south-west of Manchester city centre. In 2019, it was the third busiest airport in the United Kingdom in terms of passenger numbers and the busiest of those not serving London. The airport comprises three passenger terminals and a cargo terminal, and is the only airport in the UK other than Heathrow Airport to operate two runways over 3,280 yd (2,999 m) in length. Manchester Airport covers an area of 560 hectares (1,400 acres) and has flights to 199 destinations, placing the airport thirteenth globally for total destinations served.
Officially opened on 25 June 1938, it was initially known as Ringway Airport, a name still in local use. In World War II, as RAF Ringway, it was a base for the Royal Air Force. The airport is owned and managed by the Manchester Airport Holdings (trading as MAG), a holding company owned by the Australian finance house IFM Investors and the ten metropolitan borough councils of Greater Manchester, with Manchester City Council owning the largest stake. Ringway, after which the airport was named, is a village with a few buildings and a church at the western edge of the airport.
Future developments include the £800 million Airport City Manchester logistics, manufacturing, office and hotel space next to the airport. Ongoing and future transport improvements include the £290 million Eastern Link relief road, which opened in October 2018. A High Speed 2 station known as Manchester Airport High Speed station, earmarked for opening in 2033, will create a regular sub-ten-minute shuttle service for connecting rail passengers between central Manchester and the Airport while relieving stress on the Styal Line to the Airport from Manchester which has become one of the most congested routes on the National Rail network

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PYBHA3 - A Prayer Room is an opportunity to draw aside, take time out and meet with God. It is a dedicated space where people can go to pray and seek God, to intercede and petition. Jesus withdrew to pray (Mt 14:13
Lk 5:12-16
Jn 6:14-16), not at the expense of serving the Father but in order to be more effective in that.
The key is not about the physical space but about making space for relationship with God who from the beginning of time longs to be with His people and connect with them. We know that God is everywhere and we can meet with God anywhere and everywhere, but a Prayer Room with time and place set aside can be an important part of growing in relationship with God. It's a great addition to be part of continual prayer in local church life and helpful being in a place with no distractions with focuses for prayer.
