Meet Prof. Henry Snaith, 2018 Blavatnik Awards in the UK Life Sciences Laureate
Meet Inaugural Blavatnik Awards in the UK, 2018 Laureate in Physical Sciences and Engineering, Prof. Henry Snaith, a Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford. Prof. Snaith works in the field of photovoltaics, pioneering new, low-cost and high-efficiency solar cells based on metal halide perovskite materials, a material previously overlooked. Prof. Snaith has not only initiated a new research field now studied by scientists around the world, but his work also has the potential to deliver solar energy to the market at a fraction of the cost of currently used materials.

Why There Are Empty Trains Running Every Day
From Monday through Saturday, at 5:16 P.M., a train takes off from Leeds and heads for the small English town of Snaith. At first, the cars will be jam-packed with people – the usual rush hour of a decent-sized city like Leeds. But with each stop along the way, you’ll notice fewer and fewer passengers on the train.
Once you get to the final stop 55 minutes later, there will be no one else besides you. You get off the train at a station that’s equally as deserted. There are no vending machines or ticket offices, no parking lots, no taxies. It’s as if time has stood still. It’s quiet…and eerie.

SUMMARY:
- You need to buy a return ticket in advance since you can’t get one in a station without personnel. But you can only go back to Leeds at 7:01 P.M or 7:16 A.M the next day!
- These empty trains are listed in all documents as ordinary trains, so there’s no way to know how many there are. To find them, you need to search timetables for routes that trains travel no more than twice a day.
- If you find a ghost train full of people, they’re most likely adventure-seekers like you!
- Tim Hall-Smith and Liz Morali are passionate about ghost trains. Over the past 25+ years, they’ve been to almost 50 ghost stations.
- The use of passenger trains has almost doubled since 1995. More travelers are riding longer distances, yet the number of trains hasn’t gone up that much.
- Ghost stations are primarily in ghost towns. Most passengers have already hopped off by the time the train gets to the final stop because, well, nobody lives there!
- Surprisingly, it’s more profitable for rail companies to keep ghost trains running than to close them.
- To shut down any route, they’d first have to figure out how this closure will affect passengers, the transport environment, and the economy.
- There is a more positive reason why these trains continue to run – the hope that these lines will get busier.
- So, is that hope for a revival of old ghost lines worth keeping? Sure! Some routes are already seeing increased activity.
- Yes, ghost trains are a common thing for UK residents, much more so than most other countries.
- Elsewhere, an empty train can seriously scare passengers. That's exactly what happened in 2016 in Belgium.
- The train rode 7 and a half miles until another driver jumped into the moving cab and was able to stop it.
- It happened in the summer of 1911. An Italian rail company called Zanetti sent a small tourist train with about 100 passengers to travel around the country.
- It entered the tunnel but never made it out the other side! Apparently, as the train approached the mountain, a thick white fog suddenly surrounded it.
- The tunnel was thoroughly investigated. There weren’t any signs of a crash, there wasn’t a shred of evidence a train had entered it.

We restored this Victorian Quarry Tiled floor using specialist weighted rotary machinery and aggressive brushes – this process removed all the
years of dirt and grim from the tiles and grout lines. The tiles were then rinsed using our pressurised enclosed cleaning system and then dried. The next step was to treat the tiles. we buffed in four coats of colour enhancing impregnator that gave a great looking finish, protection and ease of maintenance.

A giant chessboard became the playground for a marathon of physical tongue twisters, ritualized rhythmic riddles, battles of willfulness, muddles of languages, juggles with gestures, dictations of rules, breaking of bodies, a physical theater of games with obscure goals.
Diction was funded by the Arts Council Of England, North West Arts, funding from the Coneil Generale de la Seine-Saint-Denise, France, and a Barclays new Stages Award. The piece featured in the spring loaded Festival, London, and toured throughout the UK and Germany, with support from the British Council.
