Places to see in ( Beaconsfield - UK )
Beaconsfield is a market town and civil parish within the South Bucks district in Buckinghamshire centred 23.6 miles WNW of London and 17 miles SSE of the county's administrative town, Aylesbury. Four towns are within five miles: Slough, Amersham, Gerrards Cross and High Wycombe.
The town is adjacent to the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has a wide area of Georgian, neo-Georgian and Tudor revival high street architecture, known as the Old Town. It is celebrated for the first model village in the world and, in education, a direction and technical production institute, the National Film and Television School. The parish comprises Beaconsfield town and land mainly given over arable land. Some beech forest remains to supply an established beech furniture industry in High Wycombe, the making of modal and various artisan uses. Beaconsfield is recorded in property returns of 1185 where it is spelt Bekenesfeld, literally beechen field which would less archaically be read as 'clearing in the beeches'.
The parish church at the crossroads of Old Beaconsfield is dedicated to St Mary, it was rebuilt of flint and bath stone by the Victorians in 1869. The United Reformed Church in Beaconsfield can trace its roots of non-conformist worship in the town back to 1704. Old Beaconsfield has a number of old coaching inns along a wide street of red brick houses and small shops. It was the first (coach) stopping point on the road between London and Oxford.
Beaconsfield is the home of Bekonscot model village, which was the first model village in the world; and Beaconsfield Film Studios becoming the National Film and Television School, where many film directors and technicians have learned their craft. It is the birthplace of Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series of fantasy novels. Several scenes in Brief Encounter, a classic film about a woman in a dull middle class marriage who almost undertakes an affair, were filmed in the town: Station Parade served as Milford High Street and Boots on Burke's Parade was where Alec runs into Laura.
Beaconsfield is also home to the Chiltern Shakespeare Company, which annually holds amateur performances of Shakespeare plays, Beaconsfield Theatre Group (over 60 years old), Beaconsfield Musical & Operatic Society (over 100 years old) and to The Young Theatre (at Beaconsfield), a theatre company run by young people for young people and winners of the All British Festival of One Act Plays in 2004.
The M40 runs very close to the town with its eponymous Junction 2 on the parish boundary and is 4 lanes wide in either direction (junctions 1 to 3). Junction 2 is home to Beaconsfield motorway services. Local roads include the A355 which connects Amersham and Slough via Beaconsfield. The A40 parallels the M40 from London to Oxford and for years was the main road between the two cities as its precursor. The B474 connects the town to Hazlemere.
Rail links generally run close to the motorway. Beaconsfield railway station sees services to Birmingham Snow Hill and Moor Street, and London Marylebone. The line's trains have decades-settled fast and slow services, the former currently reaching London in around twenty five minutes. It has a car park as a minor park and ride station for mixed-mode commuters far from railway stations who drive towards the capital along the M40, smaller than Didcot Parkway railway station.

Places to see in ( Deganwy - UK )
Deganwy is a small town in Conwy County Borough in Wales with a population of 3,936. It lies in the Creuddyn Peninsula alongside Llandudno and Rhos-on-Sea. Historically part of Caernarfonshire, it is in a more English-speaking region of north Wales, with only 1 in 4 residents speaking Welsh as a first language. It is located south of Llandudno and to the east of Conwy, which is on the opposite side of the River Conwy, and with which it forms the Conwy community.
Indeed, the name Deganwy has been interpreted in modern times as Din-Gonwy, which would mean Fort on the River Conwy, but the historical spellings make it impossible for this to be the actual origin of the name although mentioned in Domesday Book is the territory of the Decanae tribe. The original wooden castle was rebuilt in stone after 1210. Deganwy is in the ecclesiastical parish of Llanrhos, and has a Victorian era Gothic parish church dedicated to All Saints.
Deganwy's most notable feature is Deganwy Castle, situated 110 m above the town, which, in the 6th century was fortified as the stronghold of Maelgwn Gwynedd, king of Gwynedd. Deganwy appears to have been the capital of Gwynedd at this time, but this was later moved to Aberffraw on Anglesey. The hill on which the castle was built was fortified many times over the centuries. It was the site of a Norman castle built around 1082 and occupied by Robert of Rhuddlan, and later by Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. The castle was later demolished by Edward I when Conwy Castle was built opposite so that only ruins remain today.
Deganwy has a railway station on the Llandudno branch line with an hourly train service, available on request, to and from Manchester Piccadilly and intermediate stations. The LNWR built at Deganwy a rail connected riverside quay and wharfs, largely for the purpose of exporting slate by coastal steamer. The slate was brought by rail from Blaenau Ffestiniog. A marina with its accompanying housing and hotel accommodation was established on the site of the former slate wharfs early in the 21st century.

First Day New Oxford to Marylebone Line: Bicester Line
The section from Oxford Railway Station to Oxford Parkway finally complete. This video covers the new section on the very first day of service. The new line is incredibly smooth after Oxford Parkway a brand new station the next stop is at Bicester Village. Then you join the mail line with a final stop before Marylebone at High Wycombe. There are several variations to this itinerary including a Direct Oxford to Marylebone. If you keep your eyes open you will see the junction of the military branch. What many of us are dreaming of is the resurrection of the old varsity line Oxford to Cambridge!
The Chiltern Railways line is the first new link between a major British city and the capital in more than 100 years. It has been nick-named the Oxford Flyer.
The new line shares the already very business line to Birmingham for the first mile or so before veering off to the right towards the Wolvercote Tunnel.
The new line comes into a siding at Oxford Railway Centre rather than the long gone Rewley Rd Station (replaced by the Said Business School ). Curiously the Turntable Bridge over the Oxford Canal cut is still in place. The old Rewley Rd Station has been rebuilt and is to be seens at the Buckingham Railway Centre.
(Apparently the Service actually started on Sunday 11th Of December, but I think they kept that a little quiet, as the brochure advertises the 12th, good tactic as we all know how the media likes to jump on any first day hiccups ) .
Points to note in the video.

Rainy Morning at Manchester Ringway Int'l Airport, RWY23L Close Ups! | 20/06/16

A very Manchesterish day. Very grey, dull and soaking Monday morning at Manchester Airport on June 20th 2016; The first official day of summer...
Believe it or not I had actually checked the weather before I went, it didn't quite mention the persistent heavy rain all morning. Something along the lines of a shower with sunny intervals. Well the sunny intervals part was a lie. I stayed just under 2 hours, by which point I was drenched, from head to toe soaked. Despite that, I managed to get some great footage in the rain! Lots of spray and fantastic water effects made getting drenched almost worth while.
INCLUDES: Qatar 787, Etihad 777, Singapore Airlines 777, Thomas Cook A330, Thomson 787's & 757's, EasyJet A320's & A319, Jet2 737's & A321, British Airways A321 & A319, Pegasus 737, Helvetic Fokker 100, Ryanair 737's, Lufthansa A320 and much more!
Quite difficult filming conditions, so apologies for the loss of focus in places and rain on the lens at times too. Can't be helped when its pouring down I'm afraid.
Thanks for watching!
