Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ENF28Y - Evening view of an Avanti West Coast Pendolino intercity train standing at Warrington Bank Quay railway station in Cheshire, England, with the service destination shown as London Euston. The photograph captures a busy West Coast Main Line platform at dusk, with passengers boarding beside the open train doors, station lighting glowing under the canopy and a cool blue evening sky above the overhead electric wires. The Avanti West Coast branding is visible on the train side, making the image useful for editorial coverage of rail travel, long-distance commuting, public transport, passenger experience, railway capacity, north west connectivity and journeys between Cheshire, the Midlands and London. Warrington Bank Quay is an important town-centre station on the electrified West Coast Main Line, serving intercity routes as well as regional travel. The scene also shows the industrial rail setting around Bank Quay, with railway infrastructure, platforms, signage, overhead line equipment and station architecture all contributing to a strong documentary transport image. The dusk timing gives the platform a commuter and business-travel feel, suitable for stories about evening departures, timetable reliability, rail investment, fares, station accessibility, sustainable travel, modal shift from road to rail and the continuing importance of direct services to London Euston. The image is also relevant to stock uses around Avanti West Coast operations, Pendolino trains, WCML services, Cheshire transport, rail franchising, passenger rail policy, electrified railway routes and the practical reality of using intercity rail outside the largest city stations. Visible details include the yellow safety line, brick platform surface, destination information display, canopy lights, passengers waiting or boarding, and the distinctive dark Avanti train livery, all photographed in natural low evening light.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ER9NFR - Electronic ticket barriers line the bright passenger concourse at Haymarket railway station in Edinburgh, Scotland. The wide interior is covered by a curved glazed roof, allowing daylight into the modern entrance hall, while the older stone station building remains visible beyond the gateline. Travellers approach and pass through the automated barriers using paper tickets, smartcards or compatible digital tickets, with yellow readers mounted on each gate. Several barrier panels carry colourful artwork, adding visual interest to the functional transport setting.
Haymarket is Edinburgh's second major railway station after Waverley and serves commuter, regional and long-distance services. It is particularly important for journeys west and north from the capital, including routes towards Glasgow, Stirling, Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen and the West Coast Main Line. The station is managed by ScotRail and has the National Rail code HYM. Its central location also provides connections with Edinburgh Trams, local buses, taxis and airport services, making it an important interchange for commuters, tourists and event crowds.
The original Haymarket station opened in 1842 as the Edinburgh terminus of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. Its historic entrance and office block are protected as a listed building. A £25 million Network Rail redevelopment created a larger concourse, improved circulation, new lifts and step-free access, with the new main building officially opened in December 2013. The project retained the historic station frontage while adding the spacious glass-and-steel structure shown here.
This editorial image illustrates railway ticket control, fare collection, public transport infrastructure, passenger movement, station accessibility and investment in Scotland's rail network. It is also relevant to ticketless travel, contactless payment, transport security, urban mobility, sustainable travel and the modernisation of historic railway stations

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EW7BWY - Passengers travel north through Scotland in the Standard Class carriage of an LNER Azuma train on an evening service from Edinburgh Waverley to Aberdeen. The view looks along the modern saloon between rows of high-backed grey seats with red headrests and trim. Several tables are visible, passengers are seated throughout the coach, and a large travel bag has been placed on the overhead luggage rack. Bright linear ceiling lights illuminate the carriage while fading daylight and blurred trackside scenery can be seen through the windows.
Electronic reservation indicators above the windows show seat availability, while red seat-back notices and table fittings reflect LNER branding. The carriage has a two-plus-two seating arrangement, overhead storage, individual window blinds, power connections and onboard passenger-information equipment. The relatively quiet interior conveys the practical atmosphere of long-distance rail travel during the later part of the day.
Azuma is LNER's name for its Hitachi-built Class 800 and Class 801 intercity trains. Introduced into passenger service from 2019, the fleet replaced older InterCity 125 and InterCity 225 trains on East Coast routes. Bi-mode Class 800 units can operate using overhead electric power or diesel engines, allowing through journeys beyond fully electrified sections of the network. Class 801 trains are principally electric.
LNER operates direct services between Edinburgh Waverley and Aberdeen over the East Coast Main Line and the railway north through Fife, Dundee, Angus and north-east Scotland. The journey covers approximately 92 miles and normally takes around two and a half hours, linking the Scottish capital with Dundee and the Granite City. North of Edinburgh, trains cross the Forth Bridge before continuing along Scotland's eastern coastline.
The photograph documents contemporary British public transport, intercity passenger accommodation and evening rail travel aboard a modern Hitachi train.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EF6C4M - A close stock-photo/gotonysmith-Evening.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>evening view of a TransPennine Express train carriage with the illuminated onboard destination display reading Doncaster, photographed at dusk or in low station light with passengers visible through the windows. The image shows a modern British rail scene, combining the practical detail of an electronic train destination board, interior seating, lit carriage windows and platform lighting with the quiet atmosphere of evening travel. Although the exact station location is not confirmed by the image, the destination sign clearly links the service with Doncaster, an important South Yorkshire railway hub on the East Coast Main Line and on regional cross-Pennine routes. Doncaster station is served by TransPennine Express, with the operator publishing station and route information for journeys involving Doncaster. The photograph has strong editorial value for stories about rail travel in northern England, regional train services, commuting, public transport, passenger information systems, evening journeys, railway capacity, rolling stock, station stops and intercity connections. It can also illustrate wider themes such as northern transport infrastructure, rail operations, reliability, passenger experience, alternatives to car travel, regional towns, and Doncaster as a transport interchange. The visible passengers add a human dimension without dominating the frame, while the dark exterior and bright green LED destination display create a documentary feel suited to news, transport, travel and infrastructure features. The scene appears to be taken in dry evening conditions, under artificial platform lighting, with the blue-grey train bodywork, orange marker light and reflected interior glow giving the image a distinctly urban railway mood. This is a useful stock image for coverage of TransPennine Express services, train operating companies, regional rail networks, evening commuting, station environments, rail timetables and journeys to Doncaster.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFHT1H - Passengers waiting in the illuminated platform 2 shelter at Manchester Oxford Road railway station, photographed at dusk or after dark in Manchester city centre. The image shows the distinctive curved timber and glass waiting area, designed to echo the station's celebrated laminated wood architecture and platform canopies. Manchester Oxford Road is well known for its unusual post-war railway design, with timber structures used to reduce the load on the viaduct beneath the station rather than relying on heavier masonry, iron, steel or concrete. The station's main buildings and platform structures are Grade II listed, giving this everyday commuter scene added architectural and heritage interest. The photograph captures a quiet but recognisable moment in urban rail travel: passengers seated on wooden benches, bright interior lighting, reflective glass, platform barriers, night shadows and the muted glow of city railway infrastructure. It is useful for editorial stories about public transport, railway commuting, Manchester travel, station waiting rooms, passenger experience, evening journeys, railway safety, urban design, listed transport architecture and the continuing role of regional rail stations in daily life. The shelter's rounded black frame and timber interior visually connect with Oxford Road's wider station character, while the dusk setting adds atmosphere and a sense of waiting between trains. The scene can also illustrate themes around night travel, city centre transport hubs, station facilities, rail passenger comfort, commuting culture, train delays, late-night journeys, station refurbishment and the balance between heritage design and modern passenger needs. Visible details include platform railings, glass doors, bench seating, passengers in winter or evening clothing and the platform edge environment, making the photograph strong for documentary, transport, architectural, Manchester, railway, infrastructure and social-use picture research.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFHRJ2 - Elevated coastal view across the Port of Catania and the city of Catania in eastern Sicily, with snow-capped Mount Etna rising in the background and a small plume of volcanic smoke or gas visible from the summit area. The photograph combines deep blue Mediterranean water, harbour breakwaters, port infrastructure, dense urban development and the striking white volcanic cone of Etna, creating a strong editorial image of Sicily's relationship with an active volcano. Mount Etna is Europe's largest active volcano and dominates the landscape above Catania, making this view useful for travel, geography, geology, climate, natural hazards, tourism, shipping, urban planning and environmental stories. The scene shows the port as a working maritime gateway, with docks, piers, a breakwater, vessels and open sea in the foreground, while the city spreads across the lower slopes beneath the volcano. The snow on Etna contrasts with the clear blue sky and bright coastal light, suggesting a cool winter or early spring period when the summit is white but the coast remains sunlit. The small plume adds news and documentary value, linking the attractive Mediterranean panorama with the constant volcanic activity that affects local life, air travel, farming, tourism and risk management around Catania. The image is suitable for features on Sicily holidays, cruise and ferry routes, Catania harbour, volcanic landscapes, UNESCO-listed Etna, Italian islands, Mediterranean ports, earth science, ash clouds, volcanic monitoring, natural beauty and the coexistence of a major city with one of the world's most closely watched volcanoes. It also works well for contrasts between sea and mountain, industry and nature, urban settlement and geological force, with Etna forming a dramatic snow-covered backdrop to the harbour and city below. The clear weather and high viewpoint give the image broad stock value for guidebooks, education, climate resilience and Italian travel publishing.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEEHC - An easyJet Airbus A320 family aircraft stands on the apron at Manchester Airport while ground staff refuel the jet during turnaround operations at the gate. Baggage equipment, service vehicles, a jet bridge and the open fuel connection are all visible, making this a strong editorial image of airport ground handling, aircraft servicing and the routine but critical process of preparing short-haul flights for departure. The picture is commercially useful for stories about aviation fuel, airport operations, airline resilience, delays and the pressure on carriers when fuel supply, logistics or wider energy markets become uncertain. It also works well as a concept image for possible jet fuel shortages, cancelled or delayed UK and EU flights, and the knock-on effect disruption can have on passengers, schedules and airport efficiency. easyJet says it operates an all-Airbus fleet, including A320 family aircraft, and Manchester Airport is one of its major UK bases, so the scene is closely tied to everyday British and European short-haul travel. The visible refuelling activity gives extra value for features about kerosene demand, fuel costs, decarbonisation, sustainable aviation fuel, operational turnaround times and the vulnerability of aviation to external shocks. Care should be taken not to imply that this specific aircraft was affected by any actual shortage or cancellation event, because the image simply shows normal apron servicing. Even so, it is a useful documentary illustration of how every departing flight depends on reliable fuel availability, skilled ground crews and efficient airport infrastructure. The image can support reporting on airline operations, airport congestion, energy security, flight cancellations, European travel disruption, summer holiday travel and the wider economics of commercial aviation. Other aircraft parked in the background reinforce the sense of a busy working airfield and a live airport environment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E93466 - Close view of an Avanti West Coast onboard passenger information poster promoting free period care on trains as part of the operator's Package for a Friend scheme. The red notice explains that if a passenger's period arrives unexpectedly, help is available onboard, with customers able to ask staff for a pad in the shop or request a Package for a Friend for a more private and discreet handover. The image is useful for editorial coverage of women's health, menstrual care, period dignity, inclusive travel, passenger welfare, public transport support initiatives and the wider role of transport operators in responding to real everyday needs. Avanti West Coast announced the scheme in 2025, saying customers could access free pads via onboard shop staff or through Click and Collect for discreet pickup. The poster also carries Package for a Friend branding, linking it to a broader rail industry initiative around menstrual equality and practical passenger support. This makes the photograph relevant for news, magazines, health features, transport policy coverage, equality and inclusion reporting, customer service case studies and rail industry commentary. Visually, the strong red design and bold white lettering create a clear, informative documentary image of modern onboard signage, while the wording gives specific context around unexpected periods, privacy and access to free sanitary products during a journey. Suitable themes include women travellers, train operator services, public information campaigns, travel reassurance, period poverty awareness, transport accessibility and practical measures to make rail travel more inclusive and less stressful for passengers. The image also works as a record of changing expectations in customer care on Britain's railways, where health, dignity and discreet support are becoming more visible parts of the onboard experience.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97R9 - A crisp, documentary view of Stockport's historic town centre showing the distinctive Victorian roofline of Stockport Market Hall in the foreground and the commanding clock tower of St Mary's Church rising behind it. The repeating white-painted arches and glazing of the market structure create a strong graphic rhythm, while the tall stone church tower adds weight, history and a clear sense of place. The clock face is visible, anchoring the scene as a recognisable civic landmark in the Market Place and Churchgate area.
The atmosphere feels wintry and clear. Bright sunlight breaks across the buildings under a deep blue sky with drifting cloud, giving the stonework and painted market frames crisp contrast and clean edges. The viewpoint emphasises layers of heritage: a working market hall associated with everyday shopping and local trade, set against the long-established parish church that overlooks the marketplace. Together they capture the character of Stockport as a traditional market town within Greater Manchester, where historic public buildings still shape the townscape and visitor experience.
This image works well for editorial themes around British town centres, heritage architecture, listed buildings, local history and cultural identity. It is also useful for travel and tourism coverage, destination guides, and stories about markets and public spaces as social hubs. The combination of readable civic detail, strong architectural forms and seasonal winter light makes it a versatile Stockport location photograph for documentary and illustrative use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97XC - A wide, documentary view across Stockport Market Place capturing the distinctive Victorian Market Hall frontage alongside everyday town-centre businesses, including the clearly signed Town Barbers shop. The market hall's white-painted iron-and-glass structure, with its repeating arched frames and tall glazed panels, creates a strong graphic backdrop that instantly reads as a traditional northern market building. In contrast, the row of smaller street-level premises to the right gives the scene its modern, lived-in character, with local services and shopfronts sitting directly on the edge of the historic public square.
The light and colour suggest a cold-season day. Clear blue sky and crisp winter sunshine pick out the market hall framework and sharpen the edges of the streetscape, while long, clean shadows add depth to the paving and bollards in the foreground. The open space in front of the market hall gives a sense of scale and approach, emphasising the Market Place as a civic heart where trading, meeting, and everyday errands overlap. The presence of a barbershop sign in the same frame adds a useful editorial layer: a reminder that town centres are sustained not just by retail and markets, but by practical personal services that keep footfall steady through the week.
This image is well suited to editorial and commercial themes around UK market towns, heritage architecture in active use, independent businesses, and town-centre resilience. It also works as a recognisable Stockport location photograph, combining the landmark market hall with a named local shop, and presenting the Market Place as a functional, people-scale public realm rather than a purely tourist setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM985E - A clean, documentary exterior view of the pedestrian entrance to Stockport Interchange, showing the modern curved glass frontage and prominent Bee Network branding on the doors. The yellow bee emblems are highly visible and act as an immediate location and organisation cue, making the image useful for editors who need a clear, neutral illustration of Greater Manchester's integrated transport network. The building design reads as contemporary civic infrastructure, with pale cladding, wide glazing, and a rounded upper level that gives the entrance a modern, purpose-built feel.
The light suggests a cold-season day with clear winter sunshine and a blue sky, producing crisp reflections in the glass and sharp edges on the façade. The framing stays focused on the entrance and signage rather than crowds or vehicles, which keeps the image versatile for multiple contexts, including travel guidance, transport service updates, accessibility information, and regeneration coverage. As a location identifier, the combination of the Bee Network logos and the recognisable interchange architecture makes the scene unmistakably about public transport in Stockport town centre.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8PTXH - Visitors walk beside the Escapade Silverstone trackside residences at Silverstone Circuit, passing a row of angular contemporary apartments with projecting balconies overlooking the famous motor racing venue. The image shows the distinctive design-led accommodation built into the circuit environment, where motorsport fans can stay close to the track and view racing action from private balconies and hospitality spaces. Escapade Silverstone describes itself as being in the heart of Silverstone and offers one to four-bedroom residences, with trackside options marketed as giving front-row access to the Grand Prix circuit. Its own material says some residences provide views of nine corners and two high-speed straights, while separate Escapade information describes the development as 60 individual residences with a clubhouse, restaurant, bar, gym, pool, sauna and treatment rooms. This photograph is commercially useful for stories about Formula 1, the British Grand Prix, Silverstone hospitality, motorsport tourism, luxury accommodation, race weekend stays, leisure property, sports venue development and the changing visitor economy around major circuits. The walking spectators, bright summer sky, trackside path, modern cladding, glass balconies and repeating architectural forms create a strong editorial image of high-end motorsport accommodation rather than a conventional hotel frontage. It can also illustrate wider themes including experience-led travel, premium event hospitality, sports business, trackside real estate, architectural design at sports venues, destination tourism and how major sporting sites are expanding beyond race-day seating into year-round leisure, dining and overnight stays. The image has particular value for coverage of Silverstone as the home of British motorsport and a major Northamptonshire visitor attraction, showing how spectators, guests and accommodation now sit directly alongside the racing circuit environment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EM2JP7 - Two Luas Red Line trams passing on Abbey Street in Dublin city centre, with pedestrians, shops, street signs, overhead power lines and reserved tram tracks creating a busy urban transport scene. The photograph shows the light rail system operating at street level through one of the capital's central shopping and movement corridors, close to O'Connell Street, Marlborough Street, the Abbey Theatre, the Spire, bus connections and the wider northside retail district. Luas is Dublin's tram network, with the Red Line linking Tallaght and Saggart in the west to Connolly and The Point in the east via the city centre, making Abbey Street an important stop for commuters, shoppers, tourists, students and workers crossing the city. The image is useful for editorial stories about integrated public transport, sustainable mobility, city-centre congestion, pedestrian safety, tram priority, transport planning, light rail investment, accessible travel, urban regeneration, retail footfall and Dublin's changing streetscape. Visible signage in Irish and English, including the instruction for tram access, adds a clear Dublin context and shows how the tram environment is managed within a dense mixed-use street. The scene appears to have been taken in daylight under a bright but overcast sky, with summer or mild-weather clothing among pedestrians and a lively flow of people around the platforms and crossings. The side-by-side trams, overhead catenary and rails embedded in the road surface make the picture suitable for transport, infrastructure, planning, climate, tourism, commuting, Ireland travel and public realm features. It also illustrates the everyday operation of a modern European light rail system in a historic city centre where public transport, walking, retail activity and heritage streets all share limited street space.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EBGJG7 - The Little Mermaid statue, known in Danish as Den Lille Havfrue, sits on a waterside rock at Langelinie in Copenhagen harbour, Denmark. This famous bronze sculpture by Edvard Eriksen was unveiled in 1913 and was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale about a mermaid who longs for human life. The statue was commissioned by Carl Jacobsen, the Carlsberg brewer and art patron, after he saw a ballet based on the story at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. The image shows the small green-patinated figure seated beside the water, with harbour vessels, cranes and the Copenhagen waterfront in the background, giving useful context for travel, tourism, literary heritage and Danish cultural identity. Although modest in scale, the statue has become one of Copenhagen's best-known landmarks and a powerful city symbol, frequently photographed by visitors walking along Langelinie, touring the harbour, visiting nearby Kastellet, or exploring the waterfront north of the city centre. The photograph has strong editorial value for articles about Copenhagen sightseeing, Denmark travel, Scandinavian city breaks, Hans Christian Andersen, fairy tale tourism, public sculpture, bronze monuments, harbour promenades and the relationship between Copenhagen and the sea. The green bronze surface, rounded rock, calm water and open sky create a classic documentary view of a much visited landmark, while the industrial and maritime background helps avoid a purely postcard reading by placing the sculpture in the working harbour landscape. The Little Mermaid is also useful for wider themes around cultural memory, national icons, literary adaptation, tourist expectations, public access to art and the continuing appeal of understated civic monuments. The scene suits guidebooks, travel features, educational publishing, cultural history, cruise tourism, Nordic destination marketing and stock photography uses needing a recognisable image of Copenhagen and Denmark.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E5TC5Y - Exterior view of the Dundee Cycle Hub on the Dundee waterfront in Scotland, showing the modern angular building with large glazed frontage, workshop and destination signage, and a bicycle parked outside on the paved approach. Photographed beside the city's regenerated waterfront area, this image is useful as an editorial illustration of active travel, sustainable transport, cycling infrastructure and the growing role of bike hubs in modern urban life. The architecture has a crisp, contemporary look that fits the wider Dundee regeneration story, where former industrial and dockside land has increasingly been repurposed for public realm improvements, leisure, culture and lower-carbon transport. The scene works well for themes including cycling promotion, healthier travel, net zero policy, environmental transport, bike repair services, cycle tourism, commuter cycling and investment in practical alternatives to car dependency. It also suits stories about Scottish city infrastructure, public support for cycling, riverfront redevelopment and efforts to normalise everyday bike use through visible, accessible facilities.
The signage for workshop and destination reinforces the building's function as more than a simple retail unit, suggesting a broader role in bike maintenance, advice, hire, community support and travel planning. This makes the image commercially useful for articles on cycling culture, urban mobility, active lifestyles, public health, place-making and transport behaviour change. The clean lines of the building, the broad sky and the open waterfront setting give the photograph a modern documentary feel rooted in contemporary Dundee. It is relevant to editorial content on Dundee, Scotland, the River Tay waterfront, cycling services, sustainable cities, active travel policy and civic investment in greener movement. It also captures a moment in the evolution of Dundee's waterfront, where transport, regeneration and public accessibility meet in a practical real-w

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M6G - Late-night view of the narrow pedestrian passage leading to Hackney Central London Overground station in the London Borough of Hackney. The illuminated orange station sign stands out against old brick railway arches, while the enclosed walkway recedes into darkness beneath artificial lights. A lone traveller is visible further along the route, giving the image a documentary focus on personal safety, perceived vulnerability and the experience of using urban public transport after dark. The photograph does not establish that a crime is occurring, but the confined passage, limited sightlines and quiet surroundings may reflect concerns often expressed by women, lone commuters, shift workers and late-night passengers when approaching stations or walking through isolated routes.
Hackney Central is a Zone 2 station on the London Overground Mildmay line, serving journeys towards Stratford, Highbury & Islington, Richmond and Clapham Junction. The station has access from the Amhurst Road area and from a passage beside the surviving nineteenth-century railway building near Mare Street. A second entrance on Graham Road opened in 2022 to provide more direct access, reduce congestion and improve interchange with local buses and nearby Hackney Downs station.
Transport for London advises passengers travelling at night to plan journeys in advance and use established public transport services, staffed stations, help points and available support. The image suits editorial themes involving women's safety, fear of crime, night-time commuting, urban design, station access, lighting, surveillance, public-realm improvements and safer streets. It can also illustrate debate about how architecture, visibility, maintenance and pedestrian activity influence whether a route feels welcoming or intimidating after dark. The dramatic angle, glowing orange branding and largely empty passage create a tense metropolitan atmosphere without implying wrongdoing by the person shown.

Transport pictures are especially useful because they show the infrastructure and passenger experience behind policy debates about connectivity, reliability and regional investment. Liverpool carries a global identity built from port history, music heritage, football, tourism, nightlife and regeneration. Images from the city centre and Cavern Quarter speak to both Beatles pilgrimage and the everyday economy of bars, visitors, streets and signs. Transport images are useful because they show the lived reality behind policy debates about public transport, reliability, fares, regional connectivity, disabled access, climate goals, commuter patterns and the social value of buses and railways. It has strong value for publishers needing authentic documentary imagery for news pages, blog articles, council reports, social media graphics, presentations, magazine features and local-history explainers. Historically and socially, this kind of image can help connect past and present: older streets, civic institutions, transport systems, shops, signs, political messages or public services are not frozen museum pieces, but part of how people understand modern life, local identity and economic change.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RECE2B - Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia, also known as the Royal Yacht Britannia, is the former royal yacht of the British monarchy. She was in service from 1954 until 1997. She was the 83rd such vessel since King Charles II acceded to the throne in 1660, and is the second royal yacht to bear the name, the first being the racing cutter built for the Prince of Wales in 1893. During her 43-year career, the yacht travelled more than a million nautical miles around the world to more than 600 ports in 135 countries. Now retired from royal service, Britannia is permanently berthed at Ocean Terminal, Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland, where it is a visitor attraction with over 300,000 visits each year.
Construction
HMY Britannia was built at the shipyard of John Brown & Co. Ltd in Clydebank, Dunbartonshire. She was launched by Queen Elizabeth II on 16 April 1953, and commissioned on 11 January 1954. The ship was designed with three masts: a 133-foot (41 m) foremast, a 139-foot (42 m) mainmast, and a 118-foot (36 m) mizzenmast. The top aerial on the foremast and the top 20 feet (6.1 m) of the mainmast were hinged to allow the ship to pass under bridges.
Britannia was designed to be converted into a hospital ship in time of war, although this capability was never used. In the event of nuclear war, it was intended for the Queen and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, to take refuge aboard Britannia off the north-west coast of Scotland

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EG4CAA - Interior view of a crowded Manchester Metrolink tram travelling through the city centre, with passengers standing closely together under yellow grab rails and hanging straps. The image shows the everyday pressure and usefulness of light rail in a growing regional city, where commuters, visitors and shoppers rely on tram services to move between rail stations, offices, venues, universities, retail streets and residential districts. The bright yellow fittings now sit comfortably with the wider Bee Network identity, Greater Manchester's joined-up public transport programme associated with Mayor Andy Burnham and Transport for Greater Manchester. The photograph works well for editorial stories about urban commuting, public transport capacity, passenger crowding, sustainable travel, transport devolution, city centre mobility, modal shift, clean air, car-free travel and the politics of bringing buses, trams and local rail into a more integrated system.
Manchester Metrolink opened in 1992 and became one of the most recognisable modern transport systems in the North of England, converting former heavy rail routes and city streets into a light rail network linking the city centre with towns and suburbs across Greater Manchester. The Bee Network, launched from 2023, broadened that story into a London-style local transport ambition, with common branding, simpler ticketing and a stronger public-service identity across bus, tram, walking, wheeling and cycling. This crowded carriage captures the human side of that policy: the closeness of rush-hour travel, the handholds, the standing passengers, the shared space and the practical reality of getting across Manchester without a car. The image is useful for articles on Andy Burnham's transport agenda, Greater Manchester devolution, commuter behaviour, tram patronage, infrastructure demand, public transport investment, urban congestion, city centre regeneration and the social value of accessible mass transit.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WEG8 - Liverpool Street station, also known as London Liverpool Street, is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in the north-eastern corner of the City of London, in the ward of Bishopsgate Without. It is the terminus of the West Anglia Main Line to Cambridge, the Great Eastern Main Line to Norwich, commuter trains serving east London and destinations in the East of England, and the Stansted Express service to Stansted Airport.
The station opened in 1874, as a replacement for Bishopsgate station as the Great Eastern Railway's main London terminus. By 1895, it had the most platforms of any London terminal station. During the First World War, an air raid on the station killed 16 on site, and 146 others in nearby areas. 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 bombing, seven passengers were killed when a bomb exploded aboard an Underground train, just after it had departed from Liverpool Street. New platforms for the Elizabeth line opened in 2022 as part of the Crossrail project.
Liverpool Street was built as a dual-level station, with provision for the Underground. A tube station opened in 1875 for the Metropolitan Railway
the tube station is now served by the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. It is in fare zone 1 and is managed directly by Network Rail.

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.

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 2R59X72 - This image shows bilingual signage at the entrance to Cardiff Market, also known in Welsh as Marchnad Caerdydd, located in the heart of Cardiff city centre. The sign prominently displays the Welsh-language name above the English wording Cardiff Market , reflecting Wales's official bilingual status and the everyday public use of the Welsh language.
Cardiff Market is a Grade II listed Victorian indoor market dating back to the late 19th century and has long been a focal point for local trade, food retail, and social life in the Welsh capital. The use of Welsh alongside English on public signage is part of a wider national effort to promote and normalise the Welsh language in civic spaces.
The photograph captures the arched architectural detail of the market entrance, with decorative lighting adding warmth and atmosphere, suggesting an evening or festive setting. The combination of historic typography, traditional materials, and bilingual text highlights the intersection of heritage, language, and contemporary urban life in modern Wales.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering Welsh language policy, bilingual Britain, Welsh culture and identity, historic markets, Cardiff tourism, and the preservation of civic heritage in Wales.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBKH - The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, commonly known as York Minster, is the cathedral of York, North Yorkshire, England, and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the third-highest office of the Church of England (after the monarch as Supreme Governor and the Archbishop of Canterbury), and is the mother church for the Diocese of York and the Province of York. It is run by a dean and chapter, under the Dean of York. The title minster is attributed to churches established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches, and serves now as an honorific title
the word Metropolitical in the formal name refers to the Archbishop of York's role as the Metropolitan bishop of the Province of York. Services in the minster are sometimes regarded as on the High Church or Anglo-Catholic end of the Anglican continuum.
The minster was completed in 1472 after several centuries of building. It is devoted to Saint Peter, and has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic quire and east end and Early English North and South transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the north transept is the Five Sisters window, each lancet being over 53 feet (16.3 m) high. The south transept contains a rose window, while the West Window contains a heart-shaped design colloquially known as The Heart of Yorkshire.
On 9 July 1984, York Minster suffered a serious fire in its south transept during the early morning hours. Firefighters made a decision to deliberately collapse the roof of the South Transept by pouring tens of thousands of gallons of water onto it, in order to save the rest of the building from destruction

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K0GF9B - Penny Lane is a road in the south Liverpool suburb of Mossley Hill. The name also applies to the area surrounding its junction with Smithdown Road and Allerton Road, and to the roundabout at Smithdown Place that was the location for a major bus terminus, originally an important tram junction of Liverpool Corporation Tramways. The roundabout was a frequent stopping place for John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison during their years as schoolchildren and students. Bus journeys via Penny Lane and the area itself subsequently became familiar elements in the early years of the Lennon“McCartney songwriting partnership. In 2009, McCartney reflected:
Penny Lane was kind of nostalgic, but it was really [about] a place that John and I knew ... I'd get a bus to his house and I'd have to change at Penny Lane, or the same with him to me, so we often hung out at that terminus, like a roundabout. It was a place that we both knew, and so we both knew the things that turned up in the story.
Lennon's original lyrics for In My Life had included a reference to Penny Lane. Soon after the Beatles recorded In My Life in October 1965, McCartney mentioned to an interviewer that he wanted to write a song about Penny Lane. A year later, he was spurred to write the song once presented with Lennon's Strawberry Fields Forever. McCartney also cited Dylan Thomas's nostalgic poem Fern Hill as an inspiration for Penny Lane. Lennon co-wrote the lyrics with McCartney. He recalled in a 1970 interview: The bank was there, and that was where the trams sheds were and people waiting and the inspector stood there, the fire engines were down there. It was reliving childhood

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JKC2GT - The Victoria line is a London Underground line that runs between Brixton in south London and Walthamstow Central in the north-east, via the West End. It is printed in light blue on the Tube map and is one of the only two lines on the network to run completely underground, the other being the Waterloo & City line.
The line was constructed in the 1960s and was the first entirely new Underground line in London for 50 years. It was designed to reduce congestion on other lines, particularly the Piccadilly line and the Charing Cross branch of the Northern line. The first section, from Walthamstow Central to Highbury & Islington, opened in September 1968 and an extension to Warren Street followed in December. The line was completed to Victoria station in March 1969 and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II who rode a train from Green Park to Victoria. The southern extension to Brixton opened in 1971, and Pimlico station was added in 1972.
The Victoria line is operated using automatic train operation, but all trains have drivers. The 2009 Tube Stock replaced the original 1967 Tube Stock trains. The line serves 16 stations and all but Pimlico provide interchanges with other Transport for London or National Rail services. The line, the most intensively used on the Underground, is used by over 200 million passengers each year, making it the sixth-busiest tube line.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07A9C - Horse Guards Parade is a large parade ground off Whitehall in central London. It is the site of the annual ceremonies of Trooping the Colour, which commemorates the monarch's official birthday, and the Beating Retreat.
Horse Guards Parade was formerly the site of the Palace of Whitehall's tiltyard, where tournaments (including jousting) were held in the time of Henry VIII. It was also the scene of annual celebrations of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth I. The area has been used for a variety of reviews, parades and other ceremonies since the 17th century.
The adjacent Horse Guards building was once the Headquarters of the British Army. The Duke of Wellington was based in Horse Guards when he was Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. The current General Officer Commanding London District still occupies the same office and uses the same desk. Wellington also had living quarters within the building, which today are used as offices
The parade ground is open on the west side, where it faces Horse Guards Road and St James's Park. It is enclosed to the north by the Admiralty Citadel and the Admiralty Extension building, to the east by Admiralty House, William Kent's Horse Guards (formerly the headquarters of the British Army) and the rear of Dover House (home of the Scotland Office), and to the south by Kent's Treasury building (now used by the Cabinet Office), garden walls of 10 Downing Street (the official residence and office of the British Prime Minister) and Mountbatten Green before the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's west wing. Access to the south side is restricted for national security.
On the east side, Horse Guards Parade is normally accessible to the public from Whitehall through the arches of Horse Guards
A number of military monuments and trophies ring the outside of the parade ground, including:

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K148W6 - Avanti West Coast is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%) that operates the West Coast Partnership.
During November 2016, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced the InterCity West Coast franchise would be replaced by the West Coast Partnership (WCP). In August 2019, the DfT awarded the WCP franchise to the First Trenitalia consortium. On 8 December 2019, Avanti West Coast took over operations from the prior operating company Virgin Trains, which had run the franchise since 1997. Originally, the franchise was initially scheduled to run until March 2030, and had also been set to operate the initial High Speed 2 services from 2026. However, during December 2020, it was announced that First Trenitalia and the DfT had agreed to terminate the WCP franchise at the earlier date of 31 March 2026 as part of the abolition of the franchise system. Since then a number of contract changes have taken place due to COVID-19 and then poor performance by the company. As of March 2023, the company's contract will expire in October 2023.
Between 14 August and 18 September 2022, Avanti West Coast reduced its timetable, citing unofficial strike action from its employees. However, this allegation was disputed by Aslef, which accused the company of lying and blamed their lack of recruitment, especially of train drivers, for the problems. Trains were running at one service per hour on the majority of routes, as opposed to the three which would typically occur on the London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly route. Following these changes, Avanti West Coast was subject to public criticism
news stories emerged of numerous train cancellations, overcrowded services, delays, and expensive fares. Many commuters faced difficulties reaching their destinations on the reduced services and some travellers have been left to wait for to two days before travel for tickets to be released for sale

UKHSA warns of lower levels of natural immunity to flu this year and increased coronavirus (COVID-19) circulation
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is urging everyone eligible for a free flu vaccine and a COVID-19 booster to take up the offer as soon as possible ahead of what could be a difficult winter with respiratory viruses circulating widely.
International surveillance shows that H3N2 “ a subtype of influenza type A “ is currently the most-commonly detected flu virus worldwide. H3N2 has recently caused waves of infection in southern hemisphere countries such as Australia, which has also experienced flu circulating earlier than usual in their winter season.
This H3N2 strain circulated in the UK last winter but was held largely in check by COVID-19 restrictions when people mixed a lot less and worked from home. This helped to protect people from catching flu but has also led to lower levels of natural immunity to this strain building up within the population.
There was record uptake of the flu jab in people aged 65 and over in 2021 and 2022 (82%), though there was lower uptake among people in clinical risk groups and pregnant women and these groups are particularly encouraged to come forward this year.
All primary school children and some secondary school children are eligible for the flu nasal spray this year, which is usually given at school. GP surgeries are also inviting children aged 2 and 3 years old (age on 31 August) for this nasal spray vaccination at their practices.
Most young children will not have encountered flu yet. This means they will not have built up any natural immunity to this virus, so it is particularly important for them to take up the flu vaccine this year.
In addition to the predicted flu wave, we have early indications that COVID-19 rates are beginning to rise ahead of winter, increasing the threat to people's health

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A4PJNY - Wanting to increase their presence and market share, Greggs opened their first Moto-operated franchised bakery at Lymm truckstop in early 2012, with high hopes. Following good sales a second store was opened at Birch eastbound the following June, and it was then confirmed that most Moto services would get one. Moto have also been opening franchises at some Extra services.
What makes Greggs a little bit different to other new brands is that most units have been modified so customers can visit without entering the main amenity building. This helped Moto's tax accounts: by not offering the option of eat-in food, the food was exempt from VAT, although the notorious pasty tax complicated things. As with most service station franchises, prices are inflated and the menu is altered slightly.
Greggs had never agreed to franchised stores before the Moto deal, but following its success they opened franchises with Euro Garages and Applegreen too (in the UK only). Greggs was now being added to petrol stations across the country, and Euro Garages started introducing the country's first Greggs drive thrus.
On the baked goods front, Moto had been using Upper Crust as a bakery brand, although this sold fewer hot goods and began to lose ground to Moto's other stores. In 2011 they also introduced West Cornwall Pasty Co., mostly in stands outside the services. Other operators have responded to Greggs with the likes of The Cornish Bakery, Pret a Manger and The Pasty Shop.
In line with Greggs's rules, service stations in the West Country are not allowed to sell Cornish pasties, for fear of upsetting the locals.

One of the female figures holds a scale and depicts Justice (without the usual blindfold), the other has a sword representing Law, while each holds an olive branch. Below the shield on a scroll is the city's motto, Obedientia Civium Urbis Felicitas, which translates as the obedience of the citizens produces a happy city.
The origin of the Coat of Arms is unknown, but there are numerous theories, including:
The castles are watch towers outside the city walls.
The castle is Dublin Castle and is repeated three times because of the mystical significance of the number three.
The castles are not castles but represent three gates into the ancient Viking city.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGPHAJ - Liverpool South Parkway station is a railway station and bus interchange in the Garston district of Liverpool, England. It serves, via a bus link, Liverpool John Lennon Airport in the neighbouring suburb of Speke, as well as providing an interchange between main line services and the Merseyrail rapid transit/commuter rail network.
The station is located towards the southern end of Merseyrail's Northern Line and on the junction of two main lines: the City Line from Liverpool to Manchester via Warrington and the Liverpool branch of the West Coast Main Line to London via Crewe.
Allerton Traction Maintenance Depot is situated to the immediate east of the station.
As the orbital route had been closed, the impetus to eventually complete the station was to improve public transport access to the expanding Liverpool John Lennon Airport, and also to provide new journey opportunities for rail passengers in south Liverpool by giving easy interchange between Northern Line, City Line and West Coast Main Line services.
Construction began in 2004. Allerton station closed in July 2005 and the new station was built on its site. The concourse, bus station and car park were built on land that was once the home of South Liverpool F.C. An information board situated on the footpath towards the main road explains the history of the site. The station opened on 11 June 2006, the day after Garston station closed.
At the time of opening, the Merseyrail City Line service (which had been hourly at the former Allerton station) was increased to half-hourly. The station also became an additional stop on the Liverpool-Birmingham service (then operated by Central Trains). From 11 December 2006, the Monday-Saturday evening service on the Northern Line was increased to run every 15 minutes, instead of half-hourly as previously.
Initially, many long-distance services omitted Liverpool South Parkway from their timetables.

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTA83 - The Zündapp Bella is a motor scooter manufactured by motorcycle manufacturer Zündapp from 1953 to 1964. Approximately 130,000 Bella scooters were sold, with engine sizes ranging from 150 cc to 200 cc.
The design of the Bella was heavily influenced by that of the Parilla Levriere, also known as the Parilla Greyhound. Along with being similar in general appearance, both designs have prominent air tunnels along the centreline of the scooter to allow fresh air to cool the engine without a fan.
Early Bella with kick starter and telescopic fork
As introduced in 1953, the Bella had a 146 cc two-stroke single cylinder engine, 12 inch wheels, 6 V electrics, a kick starter, and an undamped telescopic fork. The fuel tank was mounted under the seat.
A version of the Bella called the Suburbanette was made for the United States market from 1953 to 1954. The Suburbanette was stripped of the body panels enclosing the engine. 370 Suburbanettes were sold. An export version of the last 150cc Bella, the R154K (K for kickstarter), with higher Western (buckhorn) bars and no dynastarter, came to the United States in the later 1950s.[10]
A 197 cc (12.0 cu in) engine producing 10 hp (7.5 kW) became available in May 1954. The front suspension was later changed from a telescopic fork to an Earles-type leading link fork with a single suspension unit on left side of the fork. Later Bella scooters also had 12 V electricals powered by two 6 V batteries.[citation needed] Electric starters also became available on the Bella.
The Bella was imported into the United Kingdom by Ambassador Motorcycles, and into the United States by International Motorcycle Company.

It will be seen by millions of people arriving at Doncaster Sheffield Airport and marks the imminent completion of the Great Yorkshire Way airport link road.
Chris Brammall (artist) comments:
This piece is a modern symbol representing Yorkshire in the now, creating a landmark of significance with the capacity to capture a moment in time and form a lasting memory. This symbol will communicate on a visual and physical level and allow interaction, experience and memories to be formed.
Chris attended the official installation press launch on 26th April with Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive Welcome to Yorkshire and Ros Jones Mayor of Doncaster pictured above.
Located on the route of the Tour de Yorkshire, the gateway feature will be incorporated into local cycling routes encouraging people to interact with the new landmark. Parking and seating will also be provided for those who want to 'stop for a selfie' at the site.
The artwork was commissioned to Chris Brammall by Doncaster Council. Ros Jones, Mayor of Doncaster, said The simplicity of its design, scale and quality is a bold statement reflecting the importance of Great Yorkshire Way as the gateway into Yorkshire and driver of economic growth for the local and regional economy.
Most of the Chris Brammall team were involved in the fabrication of the sculpture in our workshop in Ulverston and the piece was fitted by a three man team - Phil, Paul and Duncan.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MXFF3W - The Glasgow Subway is an underground metro line in Glasgow, Scotland. Opened on 14 December 1896, it is the third-oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro. It is the only heavy rail underground metro system in the United Kingdom outside London, and also the only one in the United Kingdom which operates completely underground. It is also one of the very few railways in the world with a track running gauge of 4 ft (1,219 mm). Formerly a cable railway, the Subway was later electrified, but its twin circular lines were never expanded. The line was originally known as the Glasgow District Subway, but was later renamed Glasgow Subway Railway. It was so called when taken over by the Glasgow Corporation who renamed it the Glasgow Underground in 1936. Despite this rebranding, many Glaswegians continued to refer to the network as the Subway. In 2003 the name Subway was officially readopted by its operator, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). A £40,000 study examining the feasibility of an expansion into the city's south side is in progress.
The system is not the oldest underground railway in Glasgow
that distinction belongs to a 3.1 mi (5.0 km) section of the Glasgow City and District Railway opened in 1863, now part of the North Clyde Line of the suburban railway network, which runs in a sub-surface tunnel under the city centre between High Street and west of Charing Cross. Another major section of underground suburban railway line in Glasgow is the Argyle Line, which was formerly part of the Glasgow Central Railway.
The Subway runs from 06:30 to 23:40 Monday to Saturday and 10:00 to 18:12 on Sunday

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RKMM8B - Brighton is a seaside resort on the south coast of England that is part of the city of Brighton and Hove, located 47 miles (76 km) south of London.
Brighton's location has made it a popular destination for tourists, renowned for its diverse communities, quirky shopping areas, large cultural, music and arts scene and its large LGBT population, leading to its recognition as the unofficial gay capital of the UK. Brighton attracted 7.5 million day visitors in 2015/16 and 4.9 million overnight visitors, and is the most popular seaside destination in the UK for overseas tourists. Brighton has also been called the UK's hippest city, and the happiest place to live in the UK
In 1985, the Borough Council described three myths about Brighton's economy. Common beliefs were that most of the working population commuted to London every day
that tourism provided most of Brighton's jobs and income
or that the borough's residents were composed entirely of wealthy theatricals and retired businesspeople rather than workers. Brighton has been an important centre for commerce and employment since the 18th century. It is home to several major companies, some of which employ thousands of people locally
as a retail centre it is of regional importance
creative, digital and new media businesses are increasingly significant
and, although Brighton was never a major industrial centre, its railway works contributed to Britain's rail industry in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in the manufacture of steam locomotives.
Since the amalgamation of Brighton and Hove, economic and retail data has been produced at a citywide level only. Examples of statistics include: Brighton and Hove's tourism industry contributes £380m to the economy and employs 20,000 people directly or indirectly
the city has 9,600 registered companies
and a 2001 report identified it as one of five supercities for the future. In the past couple of years tourists to Brighton and Hove have fallen.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RKMM8T - The Royal Pavilion, also known as the Brighton Pavilion, is a Grade I listed former royal residence located in Brighton, England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance of the Pavilion, with its domes and minarets, is the work of architect John Nash, who extended the building starting in 1815.
The purchase of the Royal Pavilion from Queen Victoria, by Brighton, marked the beginnings of the site's attraction as a tourist destination. The Royal Pavilion has been changed from a private residence to a public attraction under civic ownership. Today, around 400,000 people visit the Royal Pavilion annually. General filming and photography is not permitted inside the Royal Pavilion. Many of the items in the palace are on loan, in particular from HM The Queen, and one condition of the loans is that the items cannot be photographed or reproduced without prior written permission.
The Royal Pavilion is licensed as a venue for weddings. On 29 March 2014, the Royal Pavilion was host to one of a number of the first legal same-sex marriages to take place in the United Kingdom following the passage of the 2013 Same Sex Couples Act.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H4EGC9 - Warrington Bus Interchange
The building opened on 21 August 2006, next to the site of a temporary terminus that had been in use for the past thirteen months. The new interchange was built in conjunction with the extension and upgrade of the adjoining Golden Square shopping centre, and replaced the previous bus station which dated from 1979.
The interchange consists of 19 departure stands, numbered from 1 to 19, all of which employ a drive-in reverse-out layout. Each stand has a computerised information screen which also ties into the real-time information system. All stands are served from the main concourse building, which contains toilets, two coffee shops, and a combined travel and tourist information office. There is access to the shopping centre via escalators and lifts. The exits on the eastern side of the building lead onto Winwick Street, on which can be found a taxi rank and Warrington Central railway station within around 100 metres.
The bus station is the terminus for all local bus services within Warrington. Regional services operate to neighbouring cities Liverpool, Manchester and Chester, as well as to Wigan, Leigh, The Trafford Centre, Altrincham, Northwich, Runcorn, Widnes and St Helens. A small number of National Express long distance coach services operate to destinations including London, Edinburgh, Bristol, Southend-on-Sea and Southport . The majority of bus services are operated by Network Warrington, who have their own information office within the main concourse selling season tickets. Other services are provided by Arriva North West, Halton Transport, and First Greater Manchester
Centrelink
Stand 1 is the departure point for the Centrelink bus service, which operates on a circular route around the town centre via the Town Hall, Bank Quay station, Centre Park business park, the market and Central station. The service runs every 20 minutes during Monday to Friday daytimes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H8FJBT - The Bridgewater Canal connects Runcorn, Manchester and Leigh, in North West England. It was commissioned by Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, to transport coal from his mines in Worsley to Manchester. It was opened in 1761 from Worsley to Manchester, and later extended from Manchester to Runcorn, and then from Worsley to Leigh.
The canal is connected to the Manchester Ship Canal via a lock at Cornbrook
to the Rochdale Canal in Manchester
to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Preston Brook, southeast of Runcorn
and to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Leigh. It once connected with the River Mersey at Runcorn but has since been cut off by a slip road to the Silver Jubilee Bridge.
Often considered to be the first true canal in England, it required the construction of an aqueduct to cross the River Irwell, one of the first of its kind. Its success helped inspire a period of intense canal building in Britain, known as canal mania. It later faced intense competition from the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the Macclesfield Canal. Navigable throughout its history, it is one of the few canals in Britain not to have been nationalised, and remains privately owned. Pleasure craft now use the canal which forms part of the Cheshire Ring network of canals.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H04G07 - London Central and London General are relatively new bus companies, being formed in 1989 in preparation for the privatisation of London Buses Limited. However, both companies' origins can be traced back to one of the original pioneers of bus operations in the capital, the London General Omnibus Company Limited (LGOC).
LGOC, or General as it was known, operated services throughout the capital and was absorbed into the new London Transport Executive in 1933. London Transport became synonymous with the red London bus until the bus operation was segregated in 1985, becoming London Buses Ltd and London Underground Ltd.
Upon privatisation in autumn 1994, London Central was purchased by the Go-Ahead Group, who are based in Newcastle, which itself was formed on the privatisation of Northern General Transport Ltd, previously part of the National Bus Company. London General was initially purchased by an employee / management team, being subsequently acquired by the Go-Ahead Group in the summer of 1996. These purchases were part of a policy of expansion by the Go-Ahead Group which continues today.

It is one of the three long distance stations in Munich, the others being München-Pasing and München Ost. München Hauptbahnhof sees about 450,000 passengers a day, which puts it on par with other large stations in Germany, such as Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof.
It is one of 21 stations classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 1 station. The mainline station is a terminal station with 32 platforms. The subterranean S-Bahn with 2 platforms and U-Bahn stations with 6 platforms are through stations.
The first Munich station was built about 800 metres to the west in 1839. A station at the current site was opened in 1849 and it has been rebuilt numerous times, including to replace the main station building, which was badly damaged during World War II.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DFEA - The Old Vic is a theatre located just south-east of Waterloo Station in London on the corner of The Cut and Waterloo Road. Established in 1818 as the Royal Coburg Theatre, it was taken over by Emma Cons in 1880 when it was known formally as the Royal Victoria Hall. In 1898, a niece of Cons, Lilian Baylis assumed management and began a series of Shakespeare productions in 1914. The building was damaged in 1940 during air raids and it became a Grade II* listed building in 1951 after it reopened.
It was also the name of a repertory company that was based at the theatre and formed the core of the National Theatre of Great Britain on its formation in 1963, under Laurence Olivier. The National Theatre remained at the Old Vic until new premises were constructed on the South Bank, opening in 1976. The Old Vic then became the home of Prospect Theatre Company, at that time a highly successful touring company which staged such acclaimed productions as Derek Jacobi's Hamlet. However, with the withdrawal of funding for the company by the Arts Council of Great Britain in 1980 for breaching its touring obligations, Prospect disbanded in 1981. The theatre underwent complete refurbishment in 1985. In 2003, Kevin Spacey was appointed as new artistic director of the Old Vic Theatre Company which received considerable media attention. In 2015, Matthew Warchus was appointed the new Artistic Director.
On May 26, 2022, Spacey was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in the United Kingdom with four counts of sexual assault against three complainants. The alleged offenses occurred between 2005 and 2013 in London and Gloucestershire. According to the Crown Prosecution Service, it would be possible to formally charge Spacey only if he entered England or Wales, which would entail extradition if Spacey refused to do so voluntarily. Nevertheless, in a statement to Good Morning America on May 31, 2022, Spacey said that he would voluntarily appear in the U.K. as soon as can be arrange

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXCC - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world.[2]
Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh,[3] the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial.

As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world.[2]
Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh,[3] the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B0B - Beer in Belgium varies from pale lager to lambic beer and Flemish red. There are approximately 180 breweries in the country, ranging from international giants to microbreweries
Beer in Belgium dates back to the age of the first crusades, long before Belgium became an independent country. Under Catholic church permission, local French and Flemish abbeys brewed and distributed beer as a fund raising method. The relatively low-alcohol beer of that time was preferred as a sanitary option to available drinking water. What are now traditional, artisanal brewing methods evolved, under abbey supervision, during the next seven centuries.
The Trappist monasteries that now brew beer in Belgium were occupied in the late 18th century primarily by monks fleeing the French Revolution. However, the first Trappist brewery in Belgium (Westmalle) did not start operation until 10 December 1836, almost 50 years after the Revolution. That beer was exclusively for the monks and is described as dark and sweet. The first recorded sale of beer (a brown beer) was on 1 June 1861

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DRH816 - Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King (usually known as Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral) is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool in Liverpool, England. The cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Liverpool.The Grade II* Metropolitan Cathedral is one of Liverpool's many listed buildings. It is sometimes known locally as Paddy's Wigwam or the Mersey Funnel, especially for tourists, but these are less common terms locally within the City.
The cathedral's architect, Frederick Gibberd, was the winner of a worldwide design competition. Construction began in 1962 and took five years. Earlier designs for a cathedral were proposed in 1853, 1933, and 1953, but none was completed.
During the Great Irish Famine (1845“1852) the Catholic population of Liverpool increased dramatically. About half a million Irish, who were predominantly Catholic, fled to England to escape the famine
many embarked from Liverpool to travel to North America while others remained in city.[5] Because of the increase in the Catholic population, the co-adjutor Bishop of Liverpool, Alexander Goss (1814“1872), saw the need for a cathedral. The location he chose was the grounds of St. Edward's College on St. Domingo Road, Everton.[6]
In 1853 Goss, then bishop, awarded the commission for the building of the new cathedral to Edward Welby Pugin (1833“1875). By 1856 the Lady Chapel of the new cathedral had been completed. Due to financial resources being diverted to the education of Catholic children, work on the building ceased at this point and the Lady Chapel “ now named Our Lady Immaculate “ served as parish church to the local Catholic population until its demolition in the 1980s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXKRW - The Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.
At the time of its construction the Albert Dock was considered a revolutionary docking system because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from/to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Due to its open yet secure design, the Albert Dock became a popular store for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite the Albert Dock's advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years, larger, more open docks were required, although it remained a valuable store for cargo.
During the Second World War, the Albert Dock was requisitioned by the Admiralty serving as a base for boats of the British Atlantic Fleet. The complex was damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the May Blitz of 1941. In the aftermath of the war, the financial problems of the owners and the general decline of docking in the city meant that the future of the Albert Dock was uncertain. Numerous plans were developed for the re-use of the buildings but none came to fruition and in 1972 the dock was finally closed. Having lain derelict for nearly ten years, the redevelopment of the dock began in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, with the Albert Dock being officially re-opened in 1984.
Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside of London. It is a vital component of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City and the docking complex and warehouses also com

The Pier Head is a riverside location in the city centre of Liverpool, England. It is part of the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was inscribed in 2004.
The site encompasses a trio of landmarks, built on the site of the former George's Dock and referred to since at least 2000 as The Three Graces:
Royal Liver Building, built between 1908 and 1911 and designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas. It is a grade I listed building consisting of two clock towers, both crowned by mythical Liver Birds. The building is the headquarters of the Royal Liver Friendly Society.
Cunard Building, constructed between 1914 and 1916 and a grade II* listed building. It is the former headquarters of the Cunard Line shipping company.
Port of Liverpool Building, built from 1903 to 1907 and also grade II* listed. It is the former home of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.
Also on the site is the grade II listed Mersey Tunnel building, to the east of the Port of Liverpool building. It was built in the 1930s and contains offices and ventilator equipment for the Queensway Tunnel.

Popular myth holds that Deacon Brodie built the first gallows in Edinburgh and was also its first victim. Of this William Roughead in Classic Crimes states that after research he was sure that although the Deacon may have had some hand in the design, ...it was certainly not of his construction, nor was he the first to benefit by its ingenuity.

Brodie's alter ego
Robert Louis Stevenson, whose father owned furniture made by Brodie, wrote a play (with W. E. Henley) entitled Deacon Brodie, or The Double Life, which was unsuccessful. However, Stevenson remained fascinated by the dichotomy between Brodie's respectable façade, and his real nature and was inspired to write The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886).[1]
Deacon Brodie is commemorated by a pub of that name on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, on the corner of the Lawnmarket and Bank Street which leads down to The Mound, and a close off the Royal Mile, which contained his family residence and workshops, still bears the name Brodie's Close.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED33D - The West Port is a street in Edinburgh's Old Town, Scotland, located just south of Edinburgh Castle. It runs from Main Point (the junction of Bread Street, Lauriston Street, East Fountainbridge and High Riggs) down to the south west corner of the Grassmarket. Its name derives from the fact it sloped up from the West Port, which was the only westwards exit from the city when the city walls stood, allowing one to pass through the Flodden Wall. The port (gate) itself was demolished in 1786.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED35F - The sporran (/ˈspɒrən/
Scottish Gaelic for purse), a traditional part of male Scottish Highland dress, is a pouch that performs the same function as pockets on the pocketless kilt. Made of leather or fur, the ornamentation of the sporran is chosen to complement the formality of dress worn with it. The sporran is worn on a leather strap or chain, conventionally positioned in front of the groin of the wearer.
Since the traditional kilt does not have pockets, the sporran serves as a wallet and container for any other necessary personal items. It is essentially a survival of the common European medieval belt-pouch, superseded elsewhere as clothing came to have pockets, but continuing in the Scottish Highlands because of the lack of these accessories in traditional dress. The sporran hangs below the belt buckle
and much effort is made to match their style and design. The kilt belt buckle can be very ornate, and contain similar motifs to the sporran cantle and the Sgian Dubh. Early sporrans would have been worn suspended from the belt on one or other of the hips, rather than hung from a separate strap in front of the wearer.
When driving a car, dancing, playing drums, or engaging in any activity where a heavy pouch might encumber the wearer, the sporran can be turned around the waist to let it hang on the hip in a more casual position

Forty-Six Forty-six is a Wedderburn-Etherington number, an enneagonal number and a centered triangular number. It is the sum of the totient function for the first twelve integers. 46 is the largest even integer that can't be expressed as a sum of two abundant numbers.
46 is the 13th semiprime. 46 is the third semiprime with a semiprime aliquot sum. The aliquot sequence of 46 is (46,26,16,15,9,4,3,1,0).
Since it is possible to find sequences of 46 consecutive integers such that each inner member shares a factor with either the first or the last member, 46 is an Erd\u0151s\u2013Woods number.
Its the atomic number of palladium, number of human chromosomes and the (decimal) value of the ASCII code for the period (full stop).
The number of mountains in the 46 peaks of the Adirondack mountain range. People who have climbed all of them are called 'forty-sixers'
there is also an unofficial 47th peak. Sweden uses 46 as its direct dial code.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D91X66 - Harbour / Harbor panorama at Los Cristianos town, Southern Tenerife, Canary Islands Spain
Historical references to Los Cristianos date back to the 16th century, when it is described as a harbour by the Notary Hernán Guerra.[2] Los Cristianos remained an important port for the south of Tenerife throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries but remained unsettled until the latter part of the 19th Century due to the threat of pirate raids as there was no significant population to warrant a castle or fort.
The first permanent settlement of Los Cristianos was in the 1860s when it was described by Pedro de Olive as a hamlet in Arona, with three one-storey houses, a two-storey house and a hut. It was officially recognised in governmental documents as been established in 1888 by 29 houses and a cave.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H2H9J5 - This documentary stock photograph shows St Paul's Cathedral London in the evening. The image is centred on St Paul's Cathedral, giving it strong editorial value for stories about London, architecture, tourism, heritage, public realm, night photography and the way the capital presents itself beside the River Thames. The caption and visible treatment indicate low light, dusk or evening atmosphere, so the photograph can be used as a real city scene rather than a generic skyline. The wider context includes Sir Christopher Wren's cathedral, City of London identity, baroque architecture, wartime memory and the ceremonial heart of the capital. These are subjects with broad stock-photo demand because they connect recognisable landmarks with themes of history, culture, faith, finance, theatre, regeneration, transport, walking routes and visitor spending. The image can support articles about City of London working life, South Bank tourism, Bankside leisure, London at dusk, cathedral heritage, riverside views, public spaces, cultural venues, urban planning, commercial property and the continuing pull of landmark architecture in news and travel publishing. For SEO and Alamy search, useful composite phrases include London dusk skyline, St Pauls Cathedral evening view, River Thames panorama, Bankside cultural quarter, Shakespeare Globe Theatre exterior, Millennium Bridge London, City of London landmark and Southwark riverside tourism. If the image is black and white, the monochrome style adds a more timeless, architectural feel
if it is in colour, the low-light sky and urban illumination add atmosphere and practical editorial appeal. Its value lies in combining a recognisable subject with a specific viewpoint and mood, suitable for guidebooks, blogs, newspapers, magazines, education, heritage, planning, religion, theatre, travel and city-break content.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H2MAXX - This documentary stock photograph shows Dirty Dicks 18th Cent Pub, Liverpool Street/ Bishopsgate, London, UK. The image records Liverpool Street Station and its surrounding office district, making it useful for editorial features on rail commuters, office development, financial services, railway regeneration and the changing City fringe. The City of London and Liverpool Street area is a dense mix of railway infrastructure, Underground stations, offices, historic streets, pubs, retail units and constant pedestrian movement, so even a modest street or station view carries strong relevance for stories about commuting, working life, commercial property, transport investment and the post-pandemic future of the office.

What more do you need, a friend with a big puppet head to share your secrets with. I overheard the conversation 'Choose life, choose a job, choose a career driving trams....'
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4HF1 - The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its occupants, the Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London, England.
Its name, which is derived from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement, the New Palace that stands today. The palace is owned by the monarch in right of the Crown and for ceremonial purposes, retains its original status as a royal residence. The building is managed by committees appointed by both houses, which report to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord Speaker.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the 11th century, and Westminster was the primary residence of the Kings of England until fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of the Parliament of England, which had been meeting there since the 13th century, and also as the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only significant medieval structures to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft, and the Jewel Tower.

The bridge consists of two towers tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers.
The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. Originally it was painted a mid greenish-blue colour

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5849443717 - 'The Clash 'Train In Vain' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Train in Vain' is a song by the British punk rock band The Clash. It was released as the third and final single from their third album, London Calling. The song was not originally listed on the album's track listing, appearing as a secret track at the end of the album.
This was because the track was added to the record at the last minute, when the sleeve was already in production. It was the first Clash song to crack the United States Top 30 charts and in 2004, the song was ranked number 292 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
In the US, the song's title is expanded to 'Train in Vain (Stand by Me)', the words 'stand by me' dominate the chorus. It was titled 'Train in Vain' in part to avoid confusion with Ben E. King's signature song 'Stand by Me'.
'Train in Vain' was added after the deal for The Clash to write a song for an NME flexi disc fell through, and as Mick Jones commented, 'The real story on 'Train in Vain' is that originally we needed a song to give to the NME for a flexi disk that NME was going to do. And then it was decided that it didn't work out or decided the flexi disk didn't work out so we had this spare track we had done as a giveaway.
So we put it on London Calling but there wasn't time because the sleeves were already done.' The result of its late addition was that it was the only song without lyrics printed on the insert, and was not listed as a track, although its presence is announced as the title and position on the original vinyl record was scratched into the vinyl in the needle run-off area on the fourth side of the album.
'Train In Vain' sums up the 1960's British Beeching report.
The 'Beeching Axe' is an informal name for the British Government's attempt in the 1960s to reduce the cost of running British Railways, the nationalised railway system in the United Kingdom. The name is that of the main author of The Reshaping of British Railways, Dr Richard Beeching. Although this report also proposed new modes of freight service and the modernisation of trunk passenger routes, it is remembered for recommending wholesale closure of what it considered little-used and unprofitable railway lines, the removal of stopping passenger trains and closure of local stations on other lines which remained open.
The report was a reaction to significant losses which had begun in the 1950s as the expansion in road transport began to attract passengers and goods from the railways
losses which continued to bedevil British Railways despite the introduction of the railway Modernisation Plan of 1955.
Beeching proposed that only drastic action would save the railways from increasing losses in the future.
Successive governments were more keen on the cost-saving elements of the report rather than those requiring investment. More than 4,000 miles (6,400 km) of railway and 3,000 stations closed in the decade following the report, a reduction of 25 per cent of route miles and 50 per cent of stations. To this day, Beeching's name is unfavourably synonymous with mass closure of railways and loss of many local services. This is particularly so in parts of the country which suffered most from cuts.
Bury Bolton Street station was originally on the line from manchester Victoria to Accrington. Lines were closed between 1966 &
1980.
Bolton Street Station, with its original features, was rescued from demolition and placed in the care of the East Lancashire Railway, a preservation group. The line to Ramsbottom and Rawtenstall was re-opened as a heritage railway, under the name East Lancashire Railway in 1987 and has since been extended to Heywood. The line and station have since become a leading tourist attraction in the area.

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
I remember discovering this on the Stanley Road album when Weller was being confirmed in Q etc as 'The Guvnor'. His Style Council days were thankfully by then behind him. This is pretty much a perfect album. Collaborations from Steve Winwood, Noel Gallagher and Steve Cradock of OCS (that's Ocean Colour Scene, not Office Cleaning Services in case you were wondering) pepper the album and (hope you like the link), the classic cover was designed by Peter Blake, designer of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's album.
Paul Weller was actually born 'John William Weller' 25th May 1958, in Sheerwater, near Woking, Surrey. Weller was born into a working-class family. His father worked in the building trade as a scaffolder and a bricklayer, and his mother worked as a cleaner. Weller was brought up in Stanley Road, Woking in a Victorian council house, which had an outside toilet but neither hot running water nor central heating.
Woking is the town in which the Martians first land in H. G. Wells' science fiction novel The War of the Worlds. If you have ever been there you will realise why.

The Philharmonic Dining Rooms in Liverpool, England is situated on the junction of Hope Street and Hardman Street, diagonally opposite the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Locally it is referred to as the Philharmonic Pub or simply the Phil. Designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas for the brewers Robert Cain &
Company, it opened in 1898. The exterior is in the Art Nouveau style.
As requested here is a shot of the famous Adament urinals. These can be visited by women by request. No trip to Liverpool is complete without a visit here. The architect of the Phil, and other pubs was Walter Thomas.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society' is the brilliant sixth studio album by the English rock group The Kinks, released in November 1968. It was the last album by the original quartet, as bassist Pete Quaife left the group in early 1969. A collection of thematic vignettes of English town and hamlet life, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society was assembled from songs written and recorded over the previous two years. Allmusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine described Village Green as a 'concept album lamenting the passing of old-fashioned English traditions.'
The record is widely considered one of the most influential and important works by The Kinks, and of the period as a whole. Although it failed to chart upon release, with estimated worldwide sales at 100,000 copies, The Village Green Preservation Society has become one of the band's best selling and most popular records. In 2003, the album was ranked number 255 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
This in my opinion is one of the all time classic English villages. Its got a village green, a village cross etc. If you know or can guess where this place is, please comment and let me know. If you can guess correctly within the first 30 comments left I will send you a small prize. Come on, bring it on!

Plainly, the image is useful because it shows Ireland, Irish, airport, luggage, size, baggage, does it, fit, with search-relevant terms including Ireland, Irish, airport, luggage, size, baggage, does it, fit, AirFrance, Ryanair, Southern, Republic, airports, different. The value lies in the combination of place, object, wording and context, giving editors something specific and grounded rather than generic filler imagery. Cork Airport is an important regional gateway for southern Ireland. Airport details like baggage, passenger notices, airline rules and mobile charging are useful for stories about travel stress, low-cost aviation, regional connectivity and the changing passenger experience. The subject is useful for aviation and consumer-rights stories because baggage labels, cabin-size rules and airport signs show the practical detail of modern air travel, from low-cost airline policies to lost luggage, barcode tracking and passenger anxiety. It would suit editorial features, local news reporting, public policy articles, web explainers, travel pieces and business commentary where a real place or recognisable everyday subject is needed rather than a staged studio concept. Historically and socially, this kind of image can help connect past and present: older streets, civic institutions, transport systems, shops, signs, political messages or public services are not frozen museum pieces, but part of how people understand modern life, local identity and economic change.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JKC2H0 - The Victoria line is a London Underground line that runs between Brixton in south London and Walthamstow Central in the north-east, via the West End. It is printed in light blue on the Tube map and is one of the only two lines on the network to run completely underground, the other being the Waterloo & City line.
The line was constructed in the 1960s and was the first entirely new Underground line in London for 50 years. It was designed to reduce congestion on other lines, particularly the Piccadilly line and the Charing Cross branch of the Northern line. The first section, from Walthamstow Central to Highbury & Islington, opened in September 1968 and an extension to Warren Street followed in December. The line was completed to Victoria station in March 1969 and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II who rode a train from Green Park to Victoria. The southern extension to Brixton opened in 1971, and Pimlico station was added in 1972.
The Victoria line is operated using automatic train operation, but all trains have drivers. The 2009 Tube Stock replaced the original 1967 Tube Stock trains. The line serves 16 stations and all but Pimlico provide interchanges with other Transport for London or National Rail services. The line, the most intensively used on the Underground, is used by over 200 million passengers each year, making it the sixth-busiest tube line.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HF85 - A moody dusk street scene in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, showing a lone man walking along Rue Saint-Dominique past the Thoumieux restaurant at number 79. The restaurant's vertical red neon sign glows against the muted tones of the surrounding buildings, casting warm light onto the pavement and contrasting with the cool blue-grey sky above. The narrow street stretches toward the Eiffel Tower, which rises faintly in the distance and anchors the scene unmistakably within the Parisian cityscape.
The composition captures an everyday moment of Parisian life rather than a staged tourist view. Parked cars line the street, shopfronts are closed or dimly lit, and the pedestrian moves forward with purpose, suggesting routine, familiarity and solitude rather than spectacle. The lighting and perspective create a cinematic atmosphere, evoking themes of evening transition, urban rhythm and the quiet intervals between daytime activity and nightlife.
Rue Saint-Dominique runs through one of Paris's most established residential and dining districts, close to the Seine and the Champ de Mars. The presence of the Thoumieux restaurant, a long-standing name in Parisian gastronomy, reinforces associations with food culture, local neighbourhood life and understated elegance. The red neon signage adds a distinctly European visual language, recalling mid-twentieth-century café and brasserie traditions.
This image is well suited for editorial use covering Parisian life, French culture, travel and tourism, urban solitude and everyday street scenes, as well as commercial applications requiring atmospheric imagery of Paris at dusk, European city living, gastronomy districts and cinematic urban environments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG38AH - Thistle st bar in Edinburgh - Traditional city centre Scottish Bellhaven brewery pub Scotland, UK works as a grounded stock photograph because the subject is specific, legible and connected to wider social, economic or cultural themes. Thistle Street Bar is part of Edinburgh's New Town pub geography, where traditional interiors and brewery branding sit close to offices, shops, hotels and tourist routes. The scene can illustrate Scottish pub culture, Belhaven brewing, after-work drinking, city breaks, hospitality costs and the role of traditional pubs in polished Georgian streets. The location detail, Edinburgh, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. Relevant editorial themes include traditional pub, public house, beer culture, real ale, cask ale, pint glass and brewery heritage, with each theme rooted in the visible subject, place or activity. The scene has practical value for features needing authentic British or international street-level evidence, especially where policy, culture, business, tourism or social change is easier to explain through one clear example.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY5KEE - Photo shows Transpennine train carriage at platform, Warrington Central station, Cheshire,England UK. The image can support editorial features on public transport, commuting, passenger information, ticketing, rail and bus infrastructure, regional connectivity, station environments and sustainable travel. Transport images like this are especially useful where operator branding, vehicle type, platform or street context is visible, because they locate policy themes in a real everyday setting rather than an abstract transport graphic. The supplied location evidence places the subject at or near Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, which adds value for buyers searching by town, city, region or postcode. Lighting, passenger density and weather should be checked from the image, but the subject is clearly a live transport or travel setting. It should work for editorial buyers needing authentic, non-staged British or travel imagery for news, magazine, blog, local government, heritage, housing, transport, tourism, retail, public policy or social commentary use. The caption should be checked against the visible photograph before upload so that any readable signs, weather, time of day and people context are accurately reflected without overstating facts not shown in the image. The strongest sales value is the combination of named subject, real location and everyday documentary style, giving picture editors a flexible image that can sit alongside features, opinion pieces, explainers, historical retrospectives and local news. Search relevance is helped by including concise place names, visible brand or wording, functional subject terms, and wider editorial concepts such as public realm, consumer behaviour, heritage, travel, leisure and community life where they genuinely match the picture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMWXK - A dramatic panoramic view of Edinburgh Castle rising above the city from its commanding position on Castle Rock, photographed from the National Museum of Scotland on Chambers Street in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. The medieval fortress, one of Scotland's most iconic landmarks, dominates the skyline as dark, brooding storm clouds gather overhead, creating a moody and atmospheric scene.
The image captures the contrast between the rugged volcanic rock of Castle Rock, the historic stone fortifications of the castle, and the dense urban fabric of Edinburgh below, including domes, spires, and rooftops typical of Scotland's capital city. The lighting and cloud cover suggest unsettled weather, common to the Scottish climate, adding drama and a sense of scale to the cityscape.
Edinburgh Castle has played a central role in Scottish history for over a thousand years and is a major symbol of national identity, tourism, and heritage. The wider Old Town and New Town areas of Edinburgh are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, recognised for their exceptional historic and architectural significance. This image is well suited for editorial use covering Scottish history, travel, tourism, culture, weather, urban landscapes, and European capital cities, as well as commercial projects requiring an instantly recognisable view of Edinburgh.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMWPW - A picturesque view of traditional timber framed cottages lining Smithy Lane in the historic village of Great Budworth, Cheshire, England. The row of houses features classic black and white half timbering combined with warm red brickwork, steeply pitched tiled roofs and prominent chimney stacks, all characteristic of vernacular English architecture found in long-established rural settlements. The narrow cobbled lane curves gently through the scene, reinforcing the sense of age and continuity within the village landscape.
Great Budworth is widely regarded as one of Cheshire's best preserved villages, with many buildings dating back several centuries. Smithy Lane retains a strong historic character, shaped by local materials, skilled craftsmanship and incremental development rather than modern planning. The cottages sit close to the roadway, reflecting a period when villages were designed around walking, horses and agricultural life rather than motor traffic. Mature trees, garden planting and soft natural light add to the calm, lived-in quality of the scene.
The image conveys themes of rural tradition, heritage conservation and village life in England. It evokes a slower pace of living and a strong connection between architecture and place, where buildings reflect both social history and the practical needs of earlier rural communities. Such streetscapes are increasingly valued for their cultural significance and as symbols of the English countryside.
This photograph is well suited for editorial use covering rural England, historic villages, heritage architecture, conservation areas and countryside living, as well as commercial applications relating to tourism, travel, housing, heritage publications and representations of traditional English village life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0N73 - A wide panoramic view of Stornoway Harbour on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, showing a vivid rainbow arcing through heavy Atlantic cloud as sunlight breaks across the town and waterfront. The calm surface of the harbour reflects moored fishing boats, harbour structures and colourful shoreline buildings, creating a layered composition that contrasts tranquillity with the unsettled weather above. Dark storm clouds dominate the sky, while the rainbow introduces a moment of brightness and visual optimism typical of rapidly changing conditions in the Western Isles.
Stornoway is the largest town in the Outer Hebrides and functions as the main port, commercial centre and transport hub for Lewis and Harris. The harbour plays a central role in the local economy, supporting fishing, ferry services and maritime trade, and remains a focal point of daily island life. The presence of working boats alongside residential and commercial buildings highlights the close relationship between community and sea that defines the Hebridean experience.
Rainbows are a frequent but fleeting feature of the Hebridean climate, produced by fast-moving weather systems rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean. This image captures that distinctive combination of dramatic skies, calm water and sudden light that characterises coastal Scotland. The scene evokes themes of resilience, isolation, natural beauty and continuity in remote island communities.
This image is well suited for editorial use covering Scottish islands, coastal weather, maritime life, climate and environment, travel and tourism in the Outer Hebrides, as well as commercial applications requiring atmospheric coastal imagery with strong natural symbolism.
