Trains on the Settle & Carlisle Railway. 26/07/12
Filmed on 26th July 2012, we take a look at the normal traffic on the Settle and Carlisle Railway. It was also filmed in the typical Settle & Carlisle weather!
Firstly we see a couple of class 158 service trains passing through the Dentdale valley. Filmed from the Blea Moor Tunnel north portal.
Moving on we see a northbound engineers train passing through Dent station. England's highest station in terms of elevation from sea level.
After Dent we see a couple of freight trains at Garsdale. First clip filmed from within Garsdale signalbox, looking north of a empty Freighliner Heavy Haul MGR passing over Dandry Mire viaduct. The second clip is filmed off the southbound platform of DBS 60007 with 6K05 Carlisle Yd to Crewe BH.
Finally we move onto Kirkby Stephen station and a brief clip of a southbound service to Leeds in the hands of a class 158 departing the station.
The Cumbrian Ranger & The Buxton Spa Express 15-03-2014
This was one of those outings where the plans were changed several times on account of 2 factors: the weather and gradients on the Buxton Line.
The first part, to get a shot of 4464 heading the Cumbrian Ranger at Acton Bridge was the only part of the original plan that actually happened, as this was 'on the way' to the peak district. Arriving in plenty of time, we once again set up on platform 3 instead of the island due to a possible incursion from an intermodal heading south at the same time as Bittern would be heading north. This was unlikely to happen as there were at least 3 paths from Garston to Crewe in 45 minutes and only one would be used but we played it safe anyway. 4464 was due at 0940 and at 0932, the familiar exhaust trail appeared at Hartford in the distance and the A4 stormed through the station at 75mph running 4 minutes early. Funnily enough, if the tour had run to time then the previously mentioned intermodal would have blocked the view of everybody on the island platform.
The next part of the plan had been to head to Edale and finally get the desired shot from Hollins Cross, high above the valley however the high wind speed forecast saw that idea fall by the Wayside. Not knowing the area overly well, the challenge was to find a place where the wind wouldn't be a problem, and 3 possibilities were found. We headed for the most southerly of the 3 first, at Kingsterndale foot crossing on the former Midland Railway route to Buxton with an up hill gradient of 1 in 100. When we arrived, we liked the shot that much the other possibilities at Peak Forest and Chapel-en-le-Frith were discounted immediately so we walked up to the Hamlet of Kingsterndale and back before setting up with 1 hour remaining. Presently we were joined by a photographer from Horwich whom we had a long chat with about all things until the exhaust finally appeared in the distance right on time and 45231 & 44871 rounded the bend at the head of the Railway Touring Company's 'Buxton Spa Express' from Ealing Broadway complete with a nice whistle.
At Buxton a very unusual arrangement was in place. The Railway Touring Company had originally requested steam haulage on the return leg from Buxton to Stockport over the LNW route however Network Rail pathed the tour back the way it came over the Midland to Chinley and via Guide Bridge to Stockport which meant the Black 5's would come off the train at Buxton. 47580 came from Carnforth to haul the return leg however so it was on the correct end of the train the 5's had to haul the first part of the return leg into Buxton sidings before detaching and heading down the LNW route to Stockport anyway. This presented a great opportunity at New Mills where the main tour, diesel hauled could be running on one side of the Goyt valley while 44871 & 45231 were running in the same direction on the other side. 47580 could be seen in the distance from our viewpoint at New Mills Newtown diverging onto the Guide Bridge route at 1615; 3 minutes later the 5's rounded the bend from Furness Vale on the Buxton line and opened up from a 20mph temporary speed restriction. This is the second time in 2 weeks that a great opportunity for a double shot has been missed...

10 very cool reasons to add Montreal to your travel list - Travel Guide vs Booking
It is the accommodation site that has 'changed the way we stay'. But, while most rentals are problem-free, some Airbnb listings come with an unexpected 'bump' in the night.In fact, many of the platform's spookier options have been dubbed 'haunted' by guests and owners alike, who claim spine-chilling supernatural activity render their properties extra special.So, if you're feeling brave, here's a selection of the top 10 with paranormal allure - and what you may encounter as a guest...It may look like the set of a horror film, but this Victorian-era mansion is actually a fully-functioning B&B.Private and somewhat secluded on a tree-lined hill in Maine's Guilford, it practically screams paranormal activity - although guests are yet to cite specific sightings in the Stephen King-esque abode.The property was actually a former US Senator's mansion, so likely has plenty of scope for scream-inducing shenanigans, but is now available for brave tourists from just £31 per night.It has five bedrooms and 12 beds in total, which can accommodate a maximum of 16 people.Located near a city called Truth or Consequences, this New Mexico property is literally part of a ghost town.Drenched in history, it served as a stagecoach stop in the 1800s, where tired travellers would come to rest their weary heads.Now, modern-day tourists can do the same - complete with decor from back in the day and an eerie sense of being alone. Just don't assume you're the only residents...According to local legend, this small castle near Moscow comes complete with a resident ghost who appears at midnight, each week.It's not clear who the spirit figure is - whether young or old, male or female - but the owners are clearly proud of their ghoulish guest because they happily refer to it on their listing.Thankfully, they also make reference to the more standard amenities, including a swimming pool, sauna and disco room, which surely keeps guests in good spirits.If you're looking for ghoulish grandeur, this is it.Packed with 15 bedrooms from £170 per night, Cumbria's Augill Castle also features turrets, Tudor panelling and Gothic windows for maximum scare-factor.Built in 1841 by John Bagot Pearson, some say he refuses to move on from his architectural accomplishment and still visits one of the main bedrooms.The building sits on the edge of both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, making it a great place to explore Northern England. If you survive the night, of course...This three-storey brick house was built in 1890. The second-floor formerly housed the maid, giving her access to the first-floor kitchen via stairs to the basement, thus not disturbing the resident family.Ironically, it now seems she disturbs residents. One guest, Joseph, said in a recent Airbnb review: 'A woman's voice was heard gently humming in the kitchen, which halted when we began to get up to check it out.'The owners, Debbi And Tom, responded saying: 'The woman humming must've been from the spirit of the maid that used to serve the household and was secretly in love the husband/owner of the house.'This Victorian lighthouse is as remote as it is scary-looking.Perched in Maine's North Haven, it remains an active aid to navigation - meaning the flashing beacon light and fog horn are still used by boats to help guide them through the channel.But the 'sparkplug' structure is also a regular stop on the local ghost tour, which hails it as one of the area's most creepy attractions. Not least because the original owner's son, Norman, died in a tragic fishing accident there.It accommodates six guests over three bedrooms and costs £471 per night.More than 160 years old, this eerie-looking property is steeped in lives past.Built within seven acres of land, the grounds boast a play yard and swimming pool - but, inside, it's filled with timeless antiques, which give the four-bedroom building an ominous feel.Many TV shows, commercials and documentaries are shot here due to its Gothic appearance, which has helped to give it the infamous reputation of a haunted house.Are you brave enough to test that theory?This historic Civil War hospice-turned-farmhouse looks

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.

SUMMARY
=======
Liverpool () is a city in North West England, with an estimated population of 491,500 in 2017. Its metropolitan area is the fifth-largest in the UK, with a population of 2.24 million in 2011. The local authority is Liverpool City Council, the most populous local government district in the metropolitan county of Merseyside and the largest in the Liverpool City Region.
Liverpool is on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary, and historically lay within the ancient hundred of West Derby in the south west of the county of Lancashire. It became a borough in 1207 and a city in 1880. In 1889, it became a county borough independent of Lancashire. Its growth as a major port was paralleled by the expansion of the city throughout the Industrial Revolution. Along with handling general cargo, freight, raw materials such as coal and cotton, the city merchants were involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In the 19th century, it was a major port of departure for Irish and English emigrants to North America. Liverpool was home to both the Cunard and White Star Line, and was the port of registry of the ocean liner RMS Titanic, the RMS Lusitania, RMS Queen Mary and RMS Olympic.
The popularity of the Beatles and other music groups from the Merseybeat era contributes to Liverpool's status as a tourist destination. Liverpool is also the home of two Premier League football clubs, Liverpool and Everton, matches between the two being known as the Merseyside derby. The Grand National horse race takes place annually at Aintree Racecourse on the outskirts of the city.
The city celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2007. In 2008, it was nominated as the annual European Capital of Culture together with Stavanger, Norway. Several areas of the city centre were granted World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 2004. The Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City includes the Pier Head, Albert Dock, and William Brown Street. Liverpool's status as a port city has attracted a diverse population, which, historically, was drawn from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, particularly from Ireland and Wales. The city is also home to the oldest Black African community in the country and the oldest Chinese community in Europe.
Natives and residents of the city of Liverpool are referred to as Liverpudlians, and colloquially as Scousers, a reference to scouse, a form of stew. The word Scouse has also become synonymous with the Liverpool accent and dialect.
