London Bridge Railway Station - Wednesday 20th June 2018
A look at London Bridge railway station on the morning and evening of Wednesday 20th June 2018.
London Bridge consists of 2 parts. Firstly there is the 8 through platforms which handle all South Eastern and Thameslink services from Charing Cross, Blackfriars and Cannon Street to Dartford, Gravesend, Orpington, Crayford etc and longer distance services to Bedford, Brighton, Margate, Ramsgate, Dover and Hastings. Then there are 6 terminal platforms which are mainly operated by Southern and handle stopping services to Epsom, Caterham, Tattenham Corner, Uckfield and London Victoria via Peckham Rye.
London Bridge is also served by the London Underground Northern and Jubilee lines. Unfortunately due to being limited for time, I was not able to film these.

The British Rail Class 465 Networker is a class of 147 electric multiple units built by Metro-Cammell, British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) and ABB Rail between 1991 and 1994. They were operated by Network SouthEast until 1997, and then by Connex South Eastern until 2003, South Eastern Trains until 2006 and Southeastern to the present day.
The Network SouthEast sector of British Rail began the planning for the development of the Class 465 Networker in 1988, and invited a tender for 710 of the units to be built. The Class 465 was introduced in order to replace the 41-year-old Class 415 (4EPB) slam-door EMUs.
The first was delivered in December 1991 and the last in April 1995. As part of the privatisation of British Rail, the 97 465/0 and 465/1s were sold to Eversholt Rail Group and the 50 Class 465/2s to Angel Trains.
All trains were originally supplied in Network SouthEast livery and branded Kent Link Networker. They are mostly used on suburban routes out of London Victoria, Charing Cross, Blackfriars and Cannon Street to destinations in South London and Kent.

The British Rail Class 466 Networker is a class of 43 electric multiple units were built by Metro Cammell in 1993 and 1994. They were operated by Network SouthEast until 1997, and then by Connex South Eastern until 2003, South Eastern Trains until 2006 and Southeastern to the present day.
The Class 466 EMUs were built between 1993 and 1994 by Metro Cammell in Washwood Heath, for the Network SouthEast sector of British Rail. As part of the privatisation of British Rail, all were sold to Angel Trains. They were operated by Network SouthEast until 1997, and then by Connex South Eastern until 2003, South Eastern Trains until 2006 and Southeastern to the present day.
Class 466 units operate in multiple with Class 465s. They are also used as individual units on rural routes, mainly the Sheerness Line between Sittingbourne and Sheerness, displacing the Class 508/2s which operated on this branch line and on the Bromley North branch between Grove Park and Bromley North.
The Class 466s were also used on the Medway Valley line between Strood, Maidstone West and Tonbridge, and in the leaf fall and winter season of 2011, the Class 466s were doubled up to make 4 car units on the Medway Valley line to help stop the poor adhesion along the line when only a single unit runs. They also ran doubled up or coupled with a Class 465 on the Sheerness Line during the winters of 2009/10 and 2010/11. From the May 2012 timetable changes, Class 375s replaced the Class 466s on the Medway Valley line, although as of 2019, a class 466 is operating again for the Strood to Maidstone West service.

Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. It lies on the River Stour.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the primate of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion owing to the importance of St Augustine, who served as the apostle to the pagan Kingdom of Kent around the turn of the 7th century. The city's cathedral became a major focus of pilgrimage following the 1170 martyrdom of Thomas Becket, although it had already been a well-trodden pilgrim destination since the murder of St Alphege by the men of King Canute in 1012. A journey of pilgrims to Becket's shrine served as the frame for Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th century classic The Canterbury Tales.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.

Docklands Light Railway
The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is an automated light metro system opened in 1987 to serve the redeveloped Docklands area of London. It reaches north to Stratford, south to Lewisham, west to Tower Gateway and Bank in the City of London financial district, and east to Beckton, London City Airport and Woolwich Arsenal.
The system uses minimal staffing on trains and at major interchange stations; the four below-ground stations are staffed to comply with underground station fire and safety requirements. Similar proposals have been made for the adjacent system, the Tube.

The Dave Markwick Memorial Tour with Hastings DEMU 1001, 6/4/2019
Once again we find ourselves at my second home of Stoats Nest Bridge, where BR Class 201 DEMU no. 1001 passes with the return run of the Dave Markwick Memorial Tour run by Hastings Diesels Ltd. The tour originated at Hastings, running to London Bridge, then to Angerstein Wharf, then back through London Bridge to London Charing Cross. In this video, the final leg, 1Z64 London Charing Cross to Hastings, is seen. Apologies for the spots of rain on the lens in the first shot, a light wind combined with fine drizzle made it pretty much unavoidable.
Hope you enjoy!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Mission Impossible: Constructing Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine
The Neukom Institute at Dartmouth presents:
Mission Impossible: Constructing Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine
Given by Doron Swade on May 8th at Dartmouth College
Computing is widely viewed as a phenomenon of the electronic age. The mechanical prehistory of computing tends to be seen as a cozy gas-lit back-story to the undoubted triumphs of modernity, but a past to which the electronic computer owes little. So it perhaps surprising to claim that the core ideas in the realisation of the modern computer emerged explicitly in the 19th century in the designs for vast automatic calculating engines conceived by the English mathematician Charles Babbage, and in the work of Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron. Babbage's work has been revisited in the modern era: his massive Difference Engine No. 2, designed in the late 1840s but unbuilt in his lifetime, was completed in 2002, and a project is now underway to construct for the first time his legendary Analytical Engine, the first design for a full-fledged, automatic, programmable, digital computing machine. This presentation reviews Babbage's pioneering work on automatic computing, locates his work in its historical context, and describes the scale, scope and planned outcomes for the construction of the Analytical Engine.
