Where are you on the transport network?

[Supine]

I want to go here!

 

[blossie33]

Wonder what it sounds like if you're on the floor below!

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Disney has been doing that for decades...

M40 north of Oxford (got my passenger to take these)

This is a lie. Twice daily for the past five years, I have scanned the horizon and the pavements for this damn bird.

You was looking in the wrong place

It’s a bit of a grey old day here on the ferry between Rio Grande and São José do Norte in Brazil.

...been to Coventry then?

 

[hash tag]

Yep. Arrived last night, departing tomorrow. The hotel

 

[hash tag]

Because I could

 

[Elpenor]

Once spent the night there. Wasn’t fun or comfortable.

Despite being the UK’s second largest city, I somehow reckon they have fewer international flights a few smaller cities. But then I can’t imagine it’d be a top destination for foreign tourists…

They’d get more if they renamed it ‘Birmingham Shakespeare Airport’ or something like that to capitalise on Stratford being nearby.

A lot of VFR traffic to the Indian subcontinent via the middle east I expect. Also had direct flights to Turkmenistan at one point I think.

Yes, with a Rosencranz and Guildenstern Departure Terminal.

Looks like opening shot of a superhero film. Now we just need a criminal being chased by the police accidentally crashing into it, getting bathed in the acid, and emerging a couple of minutes later from the wreck horribly disfigured but having gained extraordinary powers. A new supervillain is born.

ETA: Actually I wonder if that train might actually be a film prop. The three wagons see in the image look 1940s…

Reminds me of holidays to Bournemouth by train when I was very young

fairly sure it's a steam / preserved railway line (i think i recognise the location) not part of the 'real' network...

(for one thing, the war department became part of the ministry of defence in 1964)

It’s outside Bristol Museum

It’s outside Bristol Museum

that was my first thought

 

[Dogsauce]

I suggested going there yesterday with the kids, though trains aren’t running at the moment (they do a few weekends a year I think). Ended up just traipsing round Broadmead and St. Nicks market instead. They have some nice stock at the museum. I can remember the old Western Fuels yellow shutter trundling around those parts in the 80s, back when there was still an active coal depot on the site behind the M-Shed. It still exists on a preservation site in Norfolk.

From Birmingham International to East Midlands airport. Being a predominately freight based airport it was possibly one of the busiest during lockdown.
