FFS! 😡 Anger as #swifts’ nesting holes in #Derbyshire rail #viaduct ‘blocked up’

Campaigners say birds could die trying to access ancestral nests that were sealed during rail refurbishment

"Network Rail began work on the refurbishment of the 160-year-old viaducts last summer while swifts were nesting. An ecological report, commissioned by Network Rail and not required by law, found no evidence of nesting swifts.

"This claim was challenged by swift watchers, who assembled 38 pieces of evidence they said showed at least nine nest sites on the viaducts. Network Rail later accepted there were swift holes and said it had worked around the nesting birds.

"British Transport Police’s wildlife crime team was investigating whether nesting birds may have been disturbed, after the refurbishment work was reported to the police by campaigners last summer."

A #viaduct and an #aqueduct side by side in #Chirk.
We are away in the #tentbox for a couple of days.

Welcome to the second "#ShelterChallenge" wednesday update: Like many other german towns #Bielefeld has a big public space for up to 10 camper vans, where (motor-) travellers are allowed to sleep near the city. As far as i know - until now - there is no such public space where this is allowed for #bikepacking-travellers or hikers. My opinion is: This is not fair! We need (minimum) one free public #trekking place with shelters!

Travelling by bike and long distance #hiking are socially inclusive and simple to start with. There should be public infrastructure for it, to boost climatefriendly travelling. Long distance travels by #bike are more common than you may know. While doing research for the "Shelter!" project I found the following great examples:

A selforganised group of students at the "#Oberstufenkolleg" Bielefeld made it their school project in 2022: They cycled through #Denmark and created an informative paper about it: https://www.oberstufen-kolleg.de/radreise-in-daenemark-kleinprojekt-am-os-juni-2022/

The #AdventurePlayground Alte Ziegelei Bielefeld had the project "Nasse Socken am Brocken" ("Wet socks at Brocken mountain") in 2025: Kids planned a bike tour along the north sea coast. Here is the post about the tour they made together with parents and supporters from "Spielen mit Kindern e.V.": https://www.spielen-mit-kindern.de/das-war-unsere-fahrradtour-ans-meer-2025/

And "last, but not least": The project "#FahrRad" ("#RideTheBike") at the Martin Niemöller comprehensive school #Schildesche (I have the honour to do an interview with them tomorrow): Teachers and students planned and made long distance travels together, starting from Bielefeld: #Berlin 2022, #Wien 2023, #Amsterdam 2024, #Paris 2025,... https://www.mnge-bielefeld.de/schulprofil/schulprojekte/fahrrad/#radreise

I'm looking forward to hear some stories from their trips tomorrow. I also hope to gather additional information about how we may achieve a decision in favour of a free public trekking place in Bielefeld. I have one good place for it in mind, near the school at the lake "Obersee" with the famous #Schildesche #Viaduct.

Do you know good places for a trekking place with shelters near Bielefeld? If you are a municipality, institution or private person near Bielefeld and you like to donate a space for a free public trekking place, where a participative shelter building art workshop starting in may 2026 is possible, please send me a message!

Rok 2025 kończę z pokryciem sieci kolejowej na poziomie 37%, co odpowiada dystansowi 5789 km. W przybliżeniu, bo nie wszystko udało mi się zaznaczyć.

W ciągu najbliższego tygodnia powinien wpaść odcinek Iława – Olsztyn, oraz Opole – Nysa – Brzeg.

A bit of a damp autumnal scene by the River Wear at Croxdale, just south of Durham in North East England. The viaduct carries the East Coast Main Line connecting London's, Kings Cross with Edinburgh's Waverly railway stations.

Railway viaduct for the former Wareham to Swanage Railway (which still runs, for tourist jaunts). Beyond, the remains of Corfe Castle. The viaduct is itself a Listed Building.

⏱️ 94% of long-distance trains in 🇦🇹 arrive “on time” –
but did you know “on time” means up to 5 minutes late? 🤨

With Delay Stats on viaduct, you can now track your own delays, compare them to national averages, and even set your personal on-time threshold.
See your punctuality score – and decide what “on time” really means to you.

Another favourite image from my 30+ year photographic career. Continuing with UK landscape, here’s the greatest piece of landscape art in the country, Ribblehead viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales.
Whatever you think of Michael Portillo, he genuinely did play a pivotal role in saving the Settle—Carlisle line and probably therefore the viaduct too.

Video from the train ride through the Bernina Pass in early June 2024, with snow and ice still covering most of the peaks and the pass itself.

The most impressive parts are the Lago Bianco (frozen lake by the train track - in June!) and the famous Brusio spiral viaduct.

Pensford Viaduct, North Somerset
#photography #Pensford #viaduct #Chew #NorthSomerset

#TrainTrackTuesday

Le viaduc des Fades, lancé au-dessus de la Sioule, entre les communes de Sauret-Besserve et des Ancizes-Comps, dans le département du Puy-de-Dôme.

Ses deux piles en maçonnerie traditionnelle, qui culminent à plus de 92 mètres, détiennent toujours le record du monde de la hauteur de leur catégorie. Il demeure encore à ce jour le plus haut pont de chemin de fer de France.

Cet ouvrage d'art livre passage à la ligne de chemin de fer de Lapeyrouse à Volvic (tronçon de la relation de Clermont-Ferrand à Montluçon-Ville, via le plateau des Combrailles), dont l’exploitation a été suspendue le 9 décembre 2007 par la direction régionale de la SNCF pour raisons de sécurité, son mauvais état résultant de son manque d’entretien.

Another dinner time ride, another 30 minutes of fun on the gravel bike. It was nice to head down to Reddish Vale, take in the River Tame meandering through the viaduct, before the bone-shaking drag back to Denton. Quality.
