  1. Last week
  2. "...and the Ben Ainslee sailing centre to the left ( or should that be “Starboard” or “Port”)?" Well now... That would depend on whether you were looking forward or aft...!!
  3. A familiar view of Camber Dock in Portsmouth with the MV Victoria of Wight in the distance waiting to sail on the 17:00 departure to Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight. In the foreground, waiting its next sailing is the MV St Claire with the iconic Spinnaker Tower visible to the right, and the Ben Ainslee sailing centre to the left ( or should that be “Starboard” or “Port”)?

  4. A wonderfully cluttered view of Camber Dock in Old Portsmouth! Local fishing vessels jostle with Wightlink ferries against the backdrop of the wonderful Bridge Tavern, Ben Ainslie Sailing Centre and the iconic lipstick shaped Number 1 Gunwharf Quays tower block.

  5. This is the Keep of Guildford Castle in Surrey, South East England, which was established in the 13th Century and was the County Gaol for many years until at least the 18th Century. Although the earthworks remain, many of the castle features have now vanished, but the Keep remains.

  6. Guildford is regarded as the “County Town” of the County of Surrey in South East England. This view is taken from the ruins of Guildford Castle and looks across the town to the Cathedral on Stag Hill around 2 x miles away. Guildford is often mistakenly considered as a city as it has a Cathedral, but although the granting of city status has been applied for in the past, the Royal Warrant has never been given.

    Penalty Miss!

    Aldershot miss a Penalty, but still go on to beat Oldham Athletic 2-0 in the Conference National League! Oldham Athletic were founder members of the Premier League in 1992 but now play 5 x Divisions lower.

    Ryde Pier

    An Island Line Class 484 has just left Ryde Esplanade on the way to meet the ferry at Ryde Pier Head. This unusual view is taken from Union Street in Ryde and shows a wet day across the Solent, but the city of Portsmouth is visible through the rain.

    The 23:15 ferry for the short trip across Portsmouth Harbour to Gosport waits for departure.

    'Love it! 'Looks a bit wet there... (All the better for an interesting sky, though!)

  15. A Island Line Class 484 Unit pulls away from Ryde St John’s Road into the approaching rain on its way to Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.

  16. So... Just at the very time that the Japanese were starting to build their Shinkansen network - we had Transport Minister and motorway construction king, Earnest Marples - very ably assisted by his puppet, Beeching - slashing our railway network to pieces and ripping out our finest mainline from the Midlands to the Capital.
  17. Had we electrified the London Extension of the Great Central Railway in the 1960's, instead of running it down and finally closing our newest and by far the best main line from the Midlands into London - we would have had a ready-made HS2 Stupid, stupid, stupid!!
  18. The photographers favourite DMU (158 885) waits at Salisbury for a shunt movement. In the meantime “Cousin” DMU 159 106 has just arrived from London Waterloo. It is difficult to believe these trains are both over 30 x years old now!

  20. A “Up” train from Shanklin to Ryde Esplanade on Island Line waits in the February sunshine at Brading for the “Down” train to pass.
