True Italy as I remember it! Great pic!!!

Hmmm, I should get my picture soon... or I'll forget about it...

My photo - reflection of the unopened Southend Airport Railway Station

[JamieLei]

Southend has an airport?!

Southend has an airport?!

Have you not been reading the BMI thread?
Or even, for that matter, watching Eddie Stobart Trucks & Trailers!? The only thing worth watching on Five. They try and build so much tension.

The real tension is on the cab-trailer hitch... will it hold the load?

One of the best programmes on telly haha.

"Will x complete a 90 minute drive in the allotted 150 minutes he has to do it? Will this short delay on the motorway stop him?"

"Will this class 92 66 92 57 66 be beaten by the trucker? Probably"

Jess has a lorry load of time sensitive cabbages, will she make the drop on time when she has 35 miles of average speed cameras to negotiate! s***!

One week left for entries gentlemen and Dave.

If you haven't entered yet, go out there with your camera and get snappin'


Advanced Notice:
The Voting for the June POTM and subsequent July Entries topic may be delayed.
I'm going to be away in Norway from the 20th till the 8th of July. I will try my best to get something sorted or at least have the voting up but I can't make promises as I do not know what my net connection will be like and if I'll be available. Also I'll have two other PotM competitions to organise on MRL forums (though that one is quite a bit easier to do) so i shall try to make time for both.

Almost forgot... the brand new sea terminal in Rijeka. Note the airport-style control tower... Like they need to control thousands of ships daily...

That tower doesn't seem tall enough anyway.

[Voyager One]

3-4 floors up IIRC. Anyway, we've had a joke that now, all airliners will be able to crash-land completely safely on the sea.

Put a carrier there, it'll be an Airport

Here's my late entry. It very very slighty fits in the theme in my eyes but I do accept if it is refused. The shot was taken from my phone earlier this month while on holiday at Windermere. The Jetty is sort of public transport related as a man was charging people to take them accress the lake

Thought a lot about this one, this isn't the best shot in the world but I don't have a great deal of station shots...

So here you go:

During the WCML upgrade works in the mid-2000s, Nuneaton was radically redeveloped to provide better capacity for stopping trains without compromising the passing of Virgin's crack expresses. The line to Birmingham was realigned to use an old flyover for a different line, with a sharp curve to the right to run parallel to the main line, and two new platforms were built on the old carriage sidings.

This image shows the complexity of the railway's modern infrastructure, taken not long after the completion of the WCML project on the 29th December 2008.

Here's mine - the Göta Kanal port in Vadstena, Sweden.

Here's my entry. It's not great, but at least I've broken my entry duck.

The result of roadworks on the A629 Wakefield Road in Huddersfield:

Making me feel homesick now

This reminds me I actually have a photograph of the Bowness prom that I think would be suitable, so here's my entry:

Ok, I finally found something.

It's the top station of the Schafbergbahn
