How the Hogwarts Express was saved from a Welsh scrapyard

Rising up out of the billows of steam overwhelming stage nine and 75%, the sparkling Hogwarts Express orders an exceptional place in the hearts of Harry Potter fans.

Yet there was a time when the only place this engine could call home, was a south Wales scrapyard where it lay rotting among the hulks of a bygone era.

That is because the train that entranced millions of Potter viewers and now sits proudly in Warner Brothers Studios, was once earmarked to be dismantled for the furnace.

Written off, abandoned and forgotten for 17 years, this lowly engine's final destiny was the furnace rather than Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But the story of humble GWR 5972 Olton Hall, is as enchanting as any told by JK Rowling.

"It was in a hell of a state after being sat for nearly 20 years in a scrapyard," recalled James Shuttleworth, of West Coast Railway, the heritage rail operator that rescued the engine.

"As renovations go, it was nothing out of the ordinary. But then Warner Brothers came along."

Built more than 80 years ago, GWR 5972 was among the work-horses of the rail network in the industrial heartland of south Wales in the 1940s and 1950s.

In a golden era for steam train travel, Olton Hall was a regular feature on one of Great Western Railways' mainline routes to London Paddington.

But amid the move towards diesel and electric, the engine's days were numbered.

After a spell in Plymouth, it returned to south Wales in 1959 before finally being withdrawn from Cardiff East Dock shed in 1963.

Set for scrap

When it was bought by the owners of a scrapyard in Barry Docks, more commonly known as the "locomotive's graveyard", in the Vale of Glamorgan - the future looked bleak.

"British Rail started getting rid of steam in the '60s, so once a locomotive needed any sort of work, they got rid," explained Mr Shuttleworth.

"Almost all of the 22,000 steam locomotives were chopped up for scrap, either for the Far East or many to fuel the furnaces of south Wales."

Woodham Brothers, a pebble's throw from Barry Island pleasure beach, soon became a treasure trove for rail enthusiasts.

But Olton Hall's reincarnation was to prove unique.

Purchased in 1981 by David Smith, now the owner of West Coast Railways, it took a small army of volunteers 16 years to restore the express to its former glory.

Yet there was to be another twist that saw 5972 rise from the ashes like Prof Dumbledore's faithful phoenix Fawkes.

Hollywood called
"There had been a lot of deterioration in that time so it took a lot of work," said Mr Shuttleworth.

"You can't just throw in some water and fire up the boiler or you would have gone skyward very quickly. So you almost have to start all over again.

"But we had it up and running charter trips on tracks in the north of England.

"It hadn't done anything extraordinary, but then we had a call from Warner Brothers."

Why your next flight may go via China

Booking a departure from London to Sydney can illustrate the enormous change in worldwide air travel as of late. 

It is the same on the off chance that you are hoping to fly from Bangkok to Los Angeles. Or on the other hand from Singapore to New York. 

In every one of the three cases, the least expensive tickets nowadays are regularly offered by a Chinese carrier. 

Take the London to Sydney course. Utilizing extraordinary compared to other known flight-discoverer sites to look for a ticket to fly out and back on two dates picked aimlessly - 30 October and 12 November - the least expensive accessible, at the season of composing, was cited by China Southern Airlines. 

In the mean time, in the event that you needed to fly amongst Bangkok and Los Angeles on similar dates, the least valued ticket was offered by China Eastern Airlines. 

So if its all the same to you having a stopover in a Chinese city you probably won't have known about before - what about 12 hours in Qingdao? - relaxation and business voyagers can frequently spare a considerable lot of cash. 

In any case, how precisely are a developing number of Chinese carriers ready to offer deal costs that undercut more settled opponents from Europe, the US, Asia, and the Middle East? It is safe to say that they are playing reasonable? 

Also, how are the Chinese transporters ready to anchor an expanding measure of frequently difficult to-get landing spaces the world over? 

China's principle carriers are without a doubt being financed by the Chinese government, says Shukor Yusof, author of Endau Analytics, a Singapore-based flying industry inquire about gathering. 

These sponsorships empower the transporters, for example, the enormous three - Air China, China Eastern and China Southern - to forcefully pick up piece of the pie around the globe without agonizing excessively over any misfortunes en route. 


"Chinese transporters don't uncover subtle elements, or specifics," says Mr Yusof. "In any case, assessing the numbers that are flying, it is reasonable for say that some are earning back the original investment, many lose cash, and few can squeeze out benefits." 

China's aircrafts are additionally profiting by territorial Chinese governments offering them endowments to run global flights from their fundamental urban areas, in the expectation of putting them more on the guide, and empowering tourism and monetary advancement. 

In 2016 local Chinese experts outside Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou spent no less than 8.6bn yuan ($1.3bn; £1bn) financing carriers, generally towards worldwide flights, as indicated by information arranged by explore amass Civil Aviation Data Analysis. 


One of the littler Chinese bearers, Sichuan Airlines, offers administrations to Los Angeles from Hangzhou and Jinan, and the two flights are said to depend intensely on appropriations, with under 60% of seats full, contrasted and the worldwide, business wide normal of 81.4% out of 2017. 

Because of the monetary help from the Chinese government - which is the larger part proprietor of Air China, China Eastern and China Southern - the Chinese transporters additionally have the assets to purchase landing spaces far and wide. These can cost a huge number of dollars, with aircrafts buying them from different transporters. 

However while the Chinese government is without a doubt utilizing its monetary muscle to enable Chinese aircrafts to get a developing offer of the worldwide flight advertise, it would be very shortsighted to property the rising predominance of the nation's bearers to state sponsorship alone. 

Rather you need to recollect that China is the world's most crowded nation, and a developing number of its kin can stand to fly abroad on vacation. This comes in the meantime as nations in the West have facilitated visa limitations on Chinese voyagers. 

Mr Yusof says that the quantity of individuals from territory China flying abroad has dramatically increased over the previous decade, "the quickest [rate] on the planet". 

"We are talking near 100 million seats in 2017 alone," he says. 

Outside of Asia, the most prominent abroad goal for Chinese holidaymakers is the US. These Chinese voyagers spend all things considered nearly $7,000 (£5,500) per trip, as per the US Travel Association. 

Given the lift this provides for the tourism business in the US and Europe, you can perceive any reason why governments are very glad to see more flights from China. 

Truth be told, the development in global Chinese traveler numbers is extensive to the point that China is figure to surpass the US as the world's biggest flying business sector by 2022, as indicated by the International Air Transport Association industry body.

US mid-terms hacking by child ! / Security measures are really successful ?!?

Bianca Lewis, 11, has numerous side interests. She prefers Barbie, computer games, fencing, singing… and hacking the foundation behind the world's most ground-breaking majority rule government.

"I will attempt and change the votes in favor of Donald Trump," she lets me know. 

"I will endeavor to give him less votes. Perhaps erase him off of the entire thing." 

Luckily for the President, Bianca is assaulting a copy site, not the genuine article. 

She's participating in an opposition composed by R00tz Asylum, a non-benefit association that advances "hacking for good". 

Its point is to convey a desperate cautioning: the voting frameworks that will be utilized crosswise over America for the mid-term vote in November are, much of the time, so unreliable a youthful kid can figure out how to hack them with only a couple of moment's instructing.

"These are the sites that are essential since they report the race results to general society," clarified Nico Sell, the originator of R00tz Asylum. 

"They additionally advise the general population where to go to vote. You could envision if both of these two things were changed, the bedlam that would follow." 

Hacking the genuine sites would be illicit. So all things considered, Ms Sell's group made 13 destinations that copied the genuine sites, expanding vulnerabilities and all, for 13 alleged "battleground" states - parts of the nation where the vote is relied upon to be tight. 

Through the span of multi day, 39 kids matured somewhere in the range of 8 and 17 took the test - 35 of them prevailing with regards to bypassing the inconsequential security. Tricks followed. At one time the site disclosed to us 12 billion votes had been thrown. Afterward, we were informed that hopeful "Bounce Da Builder" was the victor. 

Enthusiastic kids 

The principal contender to break in was 11-year-old Audrey Jones. It took her 10 minutes. 

"The bugs in the code makes us [able] to do whatever we need," she lets me know. 

"We call some individual our own particular name on the off chance that we need to, influence it to appear as though we won the race!" 

The challenge was a piece of the children's zone at Def Con, the yearly hacking meeting in Las Vegas. This year it was gone to by in excess of 300 anxious youngsters, taking a stab at everything from bolt picking to patching. At one table I meet two-year-old Catherine Sabonis, joyfully dismantling a charge card peruser. Coordinators let me know around half of the participants are young ladies. 

This year is the first run through decision hacking has been a topic, one which was roused by comparative hacks being conveyed about by grown-up participants at 2017's show. 

While the hacks learnt here wouldn't change real vote excludes - regardless of whether conveyed for genuine - they could modify how the vote comes about were shown on official sites. It doesn't take much creative ability to picture the furore that would be caused were an official race site to announce the wrong competitor the champ. 

The uncertainty of these frameworks has been of worry since 2016's presidential race, and now and again a long time before that. Each state in the US can concoct its own particular framework, and with spending plans tight, many are depending on inadequately anchored databases and voting machines that run programming that is well finished 10 years old.

The test will plunge inside this dubious climate, inspecting conditions, and getting to only 6.16 million km (3.83 million miles) from the Sun's searing "surface". 

"I understand that probably won't sound that nearby, however envision the Sun and the Earth were a meter separated. Parker Solar Probe would be only 4cm far from the Sun," clarified Dr Nicky Fox, the British-conceived venture researcher who is associated to the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. 

"We'll additionally be the quickest human-made question consistently, going around the Sun at paces of up to 690,000km/h (430,000mph) - New York to Tokyo in less than a moment!" she disclosed to BBC News.
