#PullThePlug on #Palantir Demonstration #Manchester 8am June 11th "the Manchester Central Convention Complex is hosting the #NHS ConfedExpo - the biggest NHS Conference of the year. This ConfedExpo will be the last one before the UK government could terminate its contract with Palantir and use the break clause early next year. We'll be outside of the conference to make our voices clear - we back the break clause and want Palantir out of our NHS!"

It’s #NetMCR’s (https://www.netmcr.uk/) 10th birthday this Thursday (11th) in #Manchester from 7pm!

There’s 3(!) talks this time:

Wren Wood, ‘Emergency Broadcast Connectivity’:

Ever wondered how you can see a correspondent live from the middle of nowhere, or embedded deep in a warzone? Wren will be pulling back the curtain on what goes into making live news. With a wide range of scenarios, and having to prepare for the absolute unknowns, they will discuss how you plan, deploy and execute reporting from all kinds of scenarios. Including connectivity from mobile networks to microwave links and satellite to dark fibre - all of the challenging environments there are.
Michael Young, ‘The Apprenticeship Gap’:

We’re really excited to hear from Michael, who’s coming to us to speak about his employer’s apprenticeship scheme. His team’s intention was clear; to bring in new skills, and foster new ways of working that could help move the organisation forward. In practice, it wasn’t entirely straightforward to match new capabilities with how teams were already operating. We’ll hear the story of how Michael’s team identified the issues, talked about them openly, and started changing on both sides in order to meet in the middle.
James Blessing, ‘Digital Infrastructure in the North’:

There are things being built in the north that we may well all be interested in. James will tell us all about the recent DINA26 meeting, and what we should be aware locally to that end. Slightly cryptic? You’ll just have to come and see for yourself!

Go and chat with some nice people, have some weird 🍻, and if you’re hungry, 🍔 and 🍟!

👑🎭 The sad remains of The Crown Theatre, Eccles : 1899 - 2019. Destroyed by a huge fire. First photo shows its condition in 2018/2019. The second photo shows its rapid decline later in 2019, a month or so before the fire. The last photo, is me taking the second photo 💙 https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/blog/the-crown-theatre-eccles-1899-2019/ #Manchester #Eccles #History #Photography #Abandoned #England

On the 1890 map this cobbled road in Smedley Vale in the Irk Valley leads to a bridge over the Irk. Will look for remains of it next time, but not carry on this way as to get back on the path behind the view here I had to climb a very steep bank strewn with fly-tipped rubbish . #FootpathFriday #RiverIrk #SmedleyVale #Manchester

🚈🇮🇪 KeolisAmey has been awarded the next generation Luas Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract, valued at €1.3bn, by #Transport Infrastructure #Ireland (TII) and the National Transport Authority (NTA). Starting 1 September 2026, the contract runs for seven years with an extension option. The contract includes a new timetable with extra services during peak times from 2027. Transdev will help transition to KeolisAmey, with most staff expected to transfer under transfer regulations. KeolisAmey operates similar services such as London’s Docklands Light #Railway and #Manchester #Metrolink. This contract supports the continued expansion of Dublin’s Luas network, including the planned extension to Finglas. The contract will improve service capacity and reliability. https://www.tii.ie/en/news/press-releases/next-generation-luas-om-contract-awarded-to-keolis-and-amey-joint-venture/

Today I went for a ride to Ashton Canal Park between the canal of the same name and the River Medlock after it emerges from under the City Stadium on the former site of Bradford Colliery in East Manchester to see if the wild fritillaries there were flowering yet. They were, and I got the bonus of an orange fungus and harvesting wild garlic. Unfortunately, the park is marred by fly-tipping. It would be good if the council put as much effort into litter picking as they put into completely unnecessary grass mowing! #SnakesHeadFritillary #Manchester #Ancoats #RiverMedlock #AshtonCanal #SpringFlowers

Bricked up windows in a building in Monsall, East Manchester. Not sure what it was, but it is visible on the 1890 map. #FensterFreitag #Manchester #Monsall

🚈🐝 #Transport for Greater #Manchester (TfGM) will carry out a major £150m programme this year to enhance the capacity, reliability and resilience of the #tram network across Greater Manchester. Work will include track, tram and workforce upgrades, with some temporary disruption for passengers at locations including Trafford Bar, Deansgate-Castlefield, Monsall, Newton Heath & Moston, Eccles, Derker and Piccadilly Gardens. Preparatory works start over the Easter Weekend, with full closures on the Altrincham, Eccles and Trafford Park lines. A revised timetable will run from 30 March to autumn, supported by extra double trams and a driver recruitment drive, while trams undergo maintenance and deep cleaning to improve reliability and passenger experience. https://news.tfgm.com/press-releases/d0442f65-fec1-4964-b66c-6eb615c647e9/major-programme-to-boost-capacity-reliability-and-resilience-of-tram-network-across-greater-manchester

Subway under the tram lines linking Dalton and Bromley Street in Collyhurst, East Manchester. In lockdown there was a gallery of photos featuring people playing jazz in here. A subway is a kind of footpath! #Footpathfriday #Subway #Collythurst #Manchester
