Rothbury August 2021.

It was really nice going back to Rothbury again with my dad this is where I use to go with my granddad and my grandma when I use to go to my grandmas and granddads caravan when me and my brother Dan were little. It really brought back a lot of memories going they again and I really enjoyed it we use to bring Zack the dog here to and the caravan was was in Longframlington but we use to come here from the caravan.

BOSTON SPRINTER – CLIMB ABOARD ON THE CORRIDOR

Arriving 19th August, Boston Sprinter will put you in control at the throttle of electric, diesel, and cab car equipment!

Dating back to 1978, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) has called on Electro-Motive F40PH family locomotives to power its commuter trains, and on the Train Sim World 2 Boston Sprinter route you’ll take the throttle of MBTA’s latest version of the landmark locomotive, the EMD/MPI F40PH-3C (above), which features a traditional engineer’s control stand (below).

Enabling MBTA “push-pull” operations on the upcoming Train Sim World 2 Boston Sprinter route will be the commuter carrier’s veteran Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB) CTC-3 cab car (above), aboard which you’ll handle the car’s relatively simple but efficient controls (below).

MBTA’s single track and scenic Stoughton Branch is included in the upcoming Train Sim World 2 Boston Sprinter route and brings yet another memorable experience to the line. MBTA CTC-3 cab car 1527 is leading a Boston-bound train on the branch at Canton Center (above), while F40PH-3C 1073 provides the power from the rear of the train (below).

The railroading action is intense at Hyde Park as a MBTA express commuter overtakes a local train preparing to make its station stop (above). And at historic Canton Viaduct, Amtrak ACS-64 603 has a Boston-bound intercity train on the move (below). Get ready to climb aboard on the Corridor – with the upcoming Train Sim World 2 Boston Sprinter route!

Easy to use technology!

We all know someone who has frustrations about using digital tech to undertake day-to-day activities. Its not just about how to upload a document to an email or ordering shopping online, it is also important to note that the technology itself poses difficulties in its use. Many older peoples’ experience of new technology can often be summed up using the following comments that we have recorded from previous support offered to older digital learners: “Can’t find the short cut to using Zoom and making the necessary adjustments for communicating”, Can’t save photographs because I can never find them again” or “there are too many options which confuse me”. To aide in making life easier for those only interested in the necessities of being ‘connected’ Ability.Net have developed the Grandpad – a iPad for beginners. Here is the link to their website, which you can pass to your older friends and relatives: https://www.abilitynet.org.uk/news-blogs/grandpad-tablet-seniors-your-questions-answered
