The Volunteer Civil Force (VCF) was an armed force of volunteer police officers, established in February 1913 by picture dealer, restorer and framer William Mailes Power. at Ruskin House, Rochester Row, Westminster, which became its headquarters. 

Power had previously been one of the founders of the Volunteer Police Force (also known as the Civilian Force), begun on 21 October 1911 with Power as its vice-president and the Duke of Abercorn as its president. Power was removed from the Civilian Force on 16 December 1912 and the following year forced to apologise for inadvertently misrepresenting the VCF as the Civilian Force's successor and the Civilian Force as defunct

The VCF was popularly known as Winston's Bobbies due to Winston Churchill's encouragement of its formation to assist the Metropolitan Police in a context of national strikes by rail, dock and coal workers in 1911 and 1912. Part of the VCF was embodied as a labour battalion of the London Regiment on the outbreak of World War One and the rest later joined the Artists Rifles. By July 1915 the VCF was known as the Westminster Battalion, West London Regiment, Volunteer Training Corps, with Power granted army rank as a Temporary Captain, but it was not re-formed as a separate body after the end of the conflict.

The NHS University (NHSU) was a part of the United Kingdom's National Health Service tasked with training NHS staff. It was abolished in 2005.

The NHSU was proposed by the Labour Party in the lead up to the 2001 general election, which was followed by a consultation exercise between November 2002 and May 2003. The organisation was launched in December 2003 as a special health authority.

At its launch, its main aims were to improve the training of NHS staff by: 
 creating and improving opportunities for learning, 
 creating high quality learning environments, 
 leading research into future learning needs.

The organisation claimed to have made much progress on achieving these aims with the creation of a large number of different training programmes and the setting up of a training helpline for staff called the u-i.

However, with the publication of the "Reconfiguring the Department of Health's arm's length bodies" report in July 2004, it was decided to reduce the number and size of the Special Health Authorities in order to bring about efficiency savings. On 30 September 2004, the then Secretary of State for Health, John Reid, announced that the NHSU would be merged with the NHS Modernisation Agency to form the new NHS Institute for Learning, Skills and Innovation, now NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement. This merging would allow the cutting of staff from 1,500 to 300 people.

The NHSU was officially dissolved on 31 July 2005, with its 23 remaining learning programmes being transferred to the Skills for Health organisation by 29 September 2005.

In 2007, following a two-year campaign under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the report written by Sir William Wells, into the NHSU was released. This described the cost of the organisation and management failures.

Oats Street railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network in Perth, Western Australia. It is located on the Armadale and Thornlie lines, 8.2 kilometres from Perth station serving the suburbs of Carlisle, East Victoria Park and Kewdale.

History
Oats Street station opened in November 1954. The station serves as the only station for Armadale line passengers to transfer to the Thornlie line and thus intermediate stations between Claisebrook and Cannington.
In 2020, the station's bus interchange was upgraded due to the bus facilities at the time being at capacity. The interchange was extended north, adding two new bus stands, bringing the total to four. Three new bus layover bays were added. The upgrade facilitated articulated buses using the interchange. Construction started in April 2020 and finished in August 2020.

Future

As part of a Metronet project for the removal of several level crossings on the Armadale line, Oats Street railway station  will be rebuilt as an elevated station, and situated on top of Oats Street, replacing the level crossing with a bridge. The planned design has two entrances on either side of Oats Street, and a new bus interchange underneath the railway with eight bus stands. The new station will initially be accessed via stairs and elevators, and its design will allow escalators and fare gates to be added in the future. Its platforms will be the length of a six-car train, as opposed to the current station which has platforms that are the length of four-car trains. The station will be built to the west of the current railway alignment, to allow train services to continue during construction.

Services
Oats Street station is served by Transperth Armadale/Thornlie line services.

The station saw 704,498 passengers in the 2013-14 financial year.

The Ylistaro railway station (, ) is a closed station located in the city of Seinäjoki (formerly the municipality of Ylistaro), Finland, in the village of Ylistaron asemanseutu. It was located along the Seinäjoki–Vaasa railway, and its neighboring stations at the time of closing were Seinäjoki in the east and Isokyrö in the west.

History 
Ylistaro was opened under the name of Kaukola at the same time as the rest of the Seinäjoki–Vaasa line, on 29 September 1883. Just five years later, it was elevated from the status of a pysäkki to that of a class V station, and was renamed Ylistaro after the municipality in which it was located. Owing to the station being located quite far away from the surroundings of the Ylistaro Church, a village of its own grew around it. The two villages had merged to form one urban area by the end of the 1990s.

Ylistaro was made an unmanned station in 1982 and its freight transport services were ceased in 1999, which prompted the dismantling of its rail yard in the year after. It remained as a passenger station until 20 June 2016, when it was closed along with Laihia and Isokyrö. VR claims that the closures will allow travel times to be cut by an average of 6 minutes from Vaasa to Seinäjoki and 19 minutes from Vaasa to Helsinki. The company then established a replacement bus service to serve the surroundings the closed stations. This made Tervajoki the only intermediate station used by the InterCity trains between Seinäjoki and Vaasa.

Architecture 
The station building was constructed according to stock blueprints for the pysäkki stations on the Vaasa railway in 1881–1883. It was expanded from both ends in 1893 according to a design from Bruno Granholm. The stations of the Vaasa line, presumed to have been designed by Knut Nylander, marked a shift towards Neo-Renaissance in style.

The station still has a parking zone, as well as a low,  long side platform.
