The Voyager series is a group of high speed diesel electric multiple unit trains built by Bombardier Transportation in service on the UK railway network.
The trains are among the most modern currently in operation, and are in service on many intercity routes around Great Britain.
There are currently three types in service with 4 TOCs (First Hull Trains, East Midlands Trains, Virgin Trains and CrossCountry).
A diesel multiple unit or DMU is a multiple unit train consisting of multiple carriages powered by one or more on-board diesel engines.
The diesel engine drives the train through a transmission system.
The transmission system may be:
Mechanical, using a gearbox (diesel-mechanical)
Hydraulic, using a torque converter (diesel-hydraulic)
Electric, using a generator to power traction motors (diesel-electric)

Janus and Taurus were two shunting locomotives by the Yorkshire Engine Company and loaned to British Railways for demonstrations.
However, BR did not buy any production versions after testing.
At least one other Yorkshire Engine Company locomotive was loaned to British Railways in the 1960s.
HS4000, named Kestrel, was a prototype high-powered mainline diesel locomotive built in 1968 by Brush Traction to demonstrate its wares to British Railways.
The name came from Hawker Siddeley (the owner of Brush) 4000 hp (the power rating of its Sulzer engine).

GT3 was a prototype mainline gas turbine locomotive.
It was built in 1961 by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows to demonstrate its wares to British Railways.
It was designed by Vulcan engineer J. O. P. Hughes and the project was started in the early 1950s.
Externally, it resembled a steam tender locomotive.
In the case of GT3, the tender carried diesel fuel.

DP2, meaning Diesel Prototype number 2, was a prototype Type 4 mainline diesel locomotive built in 1962 by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows to demonstrate its wares to British Railways.
As the Deltics were then in production, it was decided to produce the locomotive on the same production line; the bodyshell used for DP2 reputedly being the eighteenth made.
While DP2 looked like a Class 55 locomotive in outline, there were many detail differences; particularly the large bodyside radiator vents at one end, and the single roof fan as opposed to the four symmetrically placed fans on the Deltics.
These differences were the external effect of DP2 being totally different from the twin-engined Deltics internally, being the forerunner of the Class 50.
DP1, or Prototype Deltic is a demonstrator locomotive built by English Electric in 1955.
This locomotive resulted in 22 similar locomotives being ordered by British Rail, which became their Class 55.
DHP1, meaning Diesel Hydraulic Prototype number 1, was a prototype Type 3 mainline diesel locomotive built in 1965 by Clayton to demonstrate their wares to British Railways.
It was designed for mixed traffic work, having steam heating facilities for working passenger trains.

The locomotive’s number was derived from its works number, DEL260.
D0260
D0226 and D0227 were two prototype diesel shunting locomotives built in 1956 by English Electric at its Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows to demonstrate its wares to British Railways.
They originally carried numbers D226 and D227, their Vulcan Foundry works numbers, but these were later amended to avoid clashing with the numbers of new Class 40 locomotives.
D0226
British Rail 18100 was a prototype main line gas turbine-electric locomotive built for British Railways in 1951.
It was built by Metropolitan Vickers, Manchester.
It was ordered by the Great Western Railway in the 1940s, but construction was delayed by World War II.
It spent its working life on the Western Region of British Railways, operating express passenger services from London Paddington station.
It was rebuilt as an electric locomotive in 1958 and became British Rail Class 80.
It was scrapped in 1973.
British Rail 18000 was a prototype mainline gas turbine-electric locomotive built for British Railways in 1949.
It was built by Brown, Boveri & Cie.
It was ordered by the Great Western Railway in 1940, but construction was delayed by World War II.
LNER Class Y11 was a class of petrol powered 0-4-0 locomotives built by Motor Rail & Tram Car Company Limited under their Simplex brand and introduced in the years 1919–1925 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).
Their British Railways numbers were 15097–15099.

British Rail reserved the TOPS Class 97 designation for departmental locomotives.
These were used for special or engineering duties.
They were therefore of several different classes, lumped together for numbering purposes.
In 2008, Network Rail once again used Class 97 for signalling test locomotives (Class 97/3).
The British Rail Class 97/6 0-6-0 diesel shunting locomotives were purpose-built for departmental duties by Ruston & Hornsby at Lincoln in 1953 (97650) or 1959 (97651-654).
There are minor technical differences between 97650 and the 1959 batch.
97/6
In 1952, the Eastern Region of British Rail introduced its own series for departmental (non-revenue earning) vehicles, including locomotives.
Numbers were allocated from 1 to 1000, with blocks of 100 numbers allocated to specific types of vehicle.
The Southern Railway numbered its departmental (non-revenue earning) stock, both locomotives and carriages in a series starting at 1S. The series was retained by the Southern Region of British Rail, but amended so that the numbers carried a 'DS' prefix instead of an 'S' suffix.
This page lists the locomotives numbered in this series, including steam, diesel and electric locomotives.
Before the introduction of the Total Operations Processing System, Class 97 was issued to self-propelled locomotives in departmental (non-revenue earning) use, British Rail had such locomotives numbered in a variety of series, together with locomotives that were no longer self-propelled.

Glasgow Corporation Tramways were formerly one of the largest urban tramway systems in Europe.
Over 1000 municipally-owned trams served the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
The system closed in 1962 and was the last city tramway in Great Britain (prior to the construction of new systems in the 1990s).
Southampton Corporation Tramways No.
45, or Southampton 45, is an open-top tramcar.
It was built in 1903 by Hurst Nelson.
At first it had a three window saloon, before being rebuilt by Southampton Corporation Tramways with a four window one.
The tram looks out of proportion as it had to pass through the very low Bathgate Arch in the centre of Southampton.
A normal sized tram would not have been able to have passed underneath the arch.
The tramcar operated from 1903 until the Southampton system closed in 1949.
At an enthusiasts' tour of the system, the Museum Committee of the Light Railway Transport League bought the tram for £10.
This price included a refurbished truck and a full repaint.
This act began the entire preservation movement of British tramways.
After it had been purchased the tram travelled the country as there was not yet a museum set up that could store the tram.
By 1955 the tram was being stored at Marton depot in Blackpool.
It was soon given to the Tramway Museum Society (TMS) and moved to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Hampshire.
It was placed next to Newcastle 102, another preserved tramcar.
Both of the trams were in an open-air display.
The tram moved to Crich Tramway Village in October 1960, and has been there ever since.
It is in regular use during the summer months and is the museum's only operational open-top tramcar.

The Acanthocephala (Greek akanthos, thorn + kephale, head) are a group of parasitic worms.
They are modified rotifers.
They may be known as acanthocephales, thorny-headed worms, or spiny-headed worms.
They have an evertable proboscis, armed with spines, which they use to pierce and hold the gut wall of the host.
Acanthocephalans have no gut and absorb nutrients directly from the host’s gut.
Acanthocephalans have complex life cycles, with various hosts, including invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, birds, and mammals.
The juveniles are parasitic in crustaceans and insects.
Adults live in the digestive tract of vertebrates, especially fish.
About 1150 species have been described.
The Acanthocephala were thought to be a separate phylum.
Recent genome analysis has shown that they are closely related to rotifers.
Since all parasites are derived from free-living forms, the Acanthocephalans are modified rotifers.
This is an example of molecular phylogenetics.
In due course, spiny-headed worms will probably be placed in a taxonomic rank below phylum, such as sub-phylum or class.
Rotifers
Second Polish Republic was name of Polish state from 1918 (end of WWI) through 1939 (start of WWII).

Hippolytushoef () is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland.
It belongs to the municipality of Hollands Kroon, and has a population of 4,400.
A storm drain, storm sewer (U.S.), stormwater drain (Australia and New Zealand) or surface water system (UK) is designed to drain extra rain and ground water from paved streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and roofs.
Storm drains vary in design from small residential dry wells to large municipal systems.
They are fed by street gutters on most motorways, freeways and other busy roads, as well as towns in areas which experience heavy rainfall, flooding and coastal towns which experience regular storms.
Jet streams are fast flowing, relatively narrow air currents found a little below the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with height) and the stratosphere (where temperature increases with height).
This is about  above the surface of the Earth.

Bergen-Belsen was a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.
An estimated 50,000 prisoners died there, as well as 20,000 Soviet prisoners of war (POWs).
Up to 35,000 of them died of typhus just before and after the camp was liberated (freed).
The camp was liberated on 15 April 1945 by British soldiers.
Inside the camp, the British soldiers found 60,000 people, and 13,000 dead bodies lying on the ground, unburied.
The scenes were horrific.
They were described by the BBC's Richard Dimbleby, who was with the British soldiers:

The bumblebee bat (Craseonycteris thonglongyai), also known as Kitti's hog-nosed bat, is an endangered species of bat.
It is the only member of the family Craseonycteridae.
It occurs in western Thailand and southeast Burma.
It usually lives in limestone caves along rivers.
This is the smallest species of bat and one of the world's smallest mammals.
Colonies vary in size, with an average of 100 individuals per cave.
The bat feeds during short activity periods in the evening and dawn, foraging around nearby forest areas for insects.
Female bat have only one offspring each year.
The bumblebee bat is about 29–33 millimetres (1.14–1.30 in) in length and 2 grams (0.07 oz) in mass).
This is the reason for its common name "bumblebee bat".
It is the smallest species of bat.
The Etruscan shrew is lighter (1.2–2.7 g) (0.042-0.095 oz).
The bat has a distinctive swollen, pig-like snout with thin, vertical nostrils.
Its ears are relatively large, while its eyes are small and mostly concealed by fur.
Its teeth are typical of an insectivorous bat.
The wings are relatively large and darker in colour, with long tips that allow the bat to hover.
Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat has no visible tail.
There is a large web of skin between the hind legs which may help in flying and catching insects, although there are no tail bones to help control it in flight.
Since the 2001 discovery of a single individual in Burma, at least nine separate sites have been identified.
The Thai and Burmese populations are morphologically identical, but their echolocation calls are distinct.
It is not known whether the two populations are reproductively isolated.
The bumblebee bat roosts in the caves of limestone hills, along rivers, within dry evergreen or deciduous forests.
While many caves contain only 10 to 15 individuals, the average group size is 100, with a maximum of about 500.
Individuals roost high on walls or roof domes, far apart from each other.
Bats also undertake seasonal migration between caves.
The bat has a brief activity period, leaving its roost for only 30 minutes in the evening and 20 minutes at dawn.
These short flights are easily interrupted by heavy rain or cold temperatures.
