DD Season 2 Places Where Filming Occurred: Update to November 2023 post.
I originally did a post in early November of 2023 with filming spoilers up to that point. Link. Some of my speculations have already been confirmed. Here are some additional tidbits I collected. I did not have the time to research these in much depth. I would love it if someone does!
Tumblr media
Chapel Saint Aubert in Mont St. Michael
A chapel may be a good spot for a resurrection.
Tumblr media
Shipwrecked boat on St. Malo Beach. Filmed summer 2023 and November 2023.
Hoverport Tunnel: I think this one is most important for TDers.
The tunnel was filmed in November and December. The actor who plays Losang posted about it here:
Tumblr media
So, at first, I thought this might be the Carol/Daryl reunion spot, but it's awful late in the season for that. Carol, Daryl, and Cordon were seen filming at this tunnel location. It was under tight security and closed to the public. Here are some more shots of the tunnel and some behind the scenes pictures of what is in part of the tunnel.
The outside:

Some of the final scenes were filmed here and not on location:

A few things about the tunnel. It is an old Hoverport Channel Tunnel connecting France to England. However, that doesn't mean that is how it will be used in DD. Also, just because the tunnel shoot was the last location, doesn't NECESSARILY mean that it will be where the season ends. I do think it will be very important, and it's something they tried to keep more under the radar than the rest of the location shoots. The tracks through the tunnel are obviously hugely symbolic in TWDU as places where characters choose a path that will lead to their salvation or their destruction. They also remind me of Daryl in Alone sitting next to the tracks and not choosing which way to go until the Claimers arrive. Even though Beth may not appear in the tunnel, I have a feeling it will an important location on the way to a Beth/Daryl and Beth/Carol reunion.
I know many people are saying this will be how season 2 ends:
Tumblr media
That might very well be the case, but filming continued at the tunnel location AFTER these scenes were filmed. As we know from TOWL, they often film MULTIPLE endings especially if there is an important reveal at the end.
Thoughts?

In pretty much every sense of the word, the android you find off the corner of fifth and March is a wreck.
It's nothing you haven't seen before -- androids have always been like punching bags (or stress balls) to the more well-off that can afford to replace them. So it's really no surprise to find one nearly torn to shreds in the heart of the Ruby district, or, as you like to call it, rich bitch central.
The thing has been utterly decimated, and you almost pass it by on your routine nightly search for spare parts, but your eyes catch on its chest, where something bright pink shines through the damage. It looks beyond a lost cause, but... damn, is that a 301 New Gen processor? And, hold on... that's the new artificial skin grafting formula. Holy shit. This hunk of metal is the newest model of android available to the public -- if you can call the top 1% the public. (You don't.)
Quickly, you fumble for your phone in your pocket and scroll through your contacts.
"Jihoon? Sorry for waking you. Yeah. I need you to bring your truck."
-
It takes you over two months to fix the android to semi-working condition. Most of the time is sucked into finding the right parts -- or, at least, parts that might work as replacements for the insanely expensive parts you'd actually need. Luckily, most of the essential pieces were still intact, if not a little scratched up.
One of the arms was unsalvageable, so you scrapped it completely and replaced it with one you already had in the shop. It's not an ordinary android arm, though. You'd found it in another one of your searches some years ago and stripped it down to practice your patching and soldering on. It still works just fine -- you hope -- but the shiny grey surface looks harsh against the android's fancy grafted skin.
It's almost disorienting how real the new skin formula feels when you touch it. Imperfect.
You try not to linger on that.
Pressing your hands on both of the android's temples, you power it on. A quiet whirring fills your ears in the silence of the shop, and you drop your arms.
The android's eyes don't flutter when they open. You're met with two brown eyes, one slightly lighter since you had to replace that, too. It's less disorienting than you expected it to be. More warm.
Because as soon as the android's sensors process you in front of him, it smiles.
For a few seconds, you're completely entranced by its smile. Android smiles aren't supposed to look that... real. Right? You know tech designers have tried -- for years -- but you don't think one has ever looked as nice as this.
Not important.
You shake your head and clear your throat. "Commence startup," you say as clearly as possible.
"Commencing." Its voice isn't like you expected, either, though you don't really know what it is you were expecting. You watch silently as it stands impossibly straighter and closes its eyes for a few moments. "Startup complete." It opens its eyes and holds out its hand, palm up. "Please enter identification."
From your back pocket, you pull out your ID card and press it into the android's palm, waiting for the usual beep of recognition. The sound is softer than what you normally hear from retail androids.
"Understood," it says, dropping its arm to its side. "I am Android Model Number 6.81-4. I am happy to help." After that, it just stands still, its lips lifted in that warm smile.
This sounds slightly more like the androids you're used to. You're just thrown off by that weirdly realistic face.
"Do you have a name?" you ask, unable to remember the model number it just told you.
It blinks. "Unable to recall."
"Then commence data recovery, please."
"Commencing."
While you wait for the android to retrieve its memories -- which you hope goes smoothly, considering the not-so-hopeful condition of one of its memory chips -- you move around your shop and clean up a little. Jihoon will have your head if he comes to the morning shift and finds it in such a mess. Occasionally, you'll twist your head to peek at the android from across the room. Even though its expression is neutral while it processes its own data, you can't seem to erase that smile from your mind. The power of money, huh.
"Data recovery complete."
You pop up from where you were crouched down and rifling through some drawers. The android smiles at you from across the worktable. Just as you open your mouth to ask the same question you posed before, it does the same.
"My name is Junhui."
-
"Damn," Jihoon says, stuffing his hands in the pockets of his coveralls. "He's beautiful."
"I know, right?" You watch Jihoon ogle Junhui, a huge, proud smile on your face. "I still can't believe I found him."
Junhui simply stands still under Jihoon's gaze. His signature smile has yet to go anywhere -- you're beginning to think it's his default expression.
"I don't know if you'll be able to sell him in this condition, though."
You frown. Before Jihoon said that, you weren't even considering selling Junhui -- you'd worked months on him, you couldn't just give him away. Still, it's a scratch at your pride to say that nobody would want to buy your hard work.
"Are you kidding? He works perfectly," you defend, even though you're not totally sure of that. You haven't gone through everything to check yet.
Jihoon shrugs. "Yeah, but with that arm and the grafting damage, what can he do better than a cheaper labour android?"
"Junhui."
The android looks at you, and his smile widens almost imperceptively. "Yes?"
"What features does your model have that previous models don't?"
He answers without hesitation. "Android Model Number 6.81-4 is, at the current time, the closest android model to a human being. I am able to comprehend emotional stimulants and react accordingly. My facial expressions are programmed to mimic that of a human's, and are more accurate than any pre-dating model. For example, when I am asked to process new data, I may furrow my brow and/or slightly open my mouth."
This is the first time you're hearing any of this, but you turn to Jihoon with a victorious smirk. "See?"
Jihoon isn't bothered by you. Instead, he looks intrigued as he eyes down Junhui. "Can you process human emotions?"
A blink. "Yes."
"Elaborate," Jihoon pushes.
"As I am able to comprehend emotional stimulants, I can come to a logical conclusion as to how a human would react to a certain stimulant. For example, 'death' is a stimulant for sadness."
Jihoon crosses his arms. "And you know what sadness is?"
"Yes." Both you and Jihoon are a little surprised by the way Junhui's lips turn down into a frown. It's almost like he's offended by Jihoon insinuating he doesn't know something -- must be one of the mimicked facial expressions he mentioned. You hold your breath at what he might say next. "Sadness is defined as the condition or quality of being sad."
The breath seeps out, and you can't tell if you're relieved or disappointed. It's a terrifying thought -- having machines so advanced as to understand human feelings. Yeah. You're relieved.
"Do you know what being sad is?" Jihoon continues to prod, and you're a bit concerned at how into this he is.
"Feeling or showing sorrow; unhappy."
"And happiness? What does that feel like?"
Junhui's frown deepens, and his brow furrows, just like he spoke about earlier. "I... know the stimulants which results in happiness."
"Then--"
"Jihoon." You put a stop to Jihoon's interrogation with a hand wrapped around his arm. "Stop. You're going to fry the processor I took weeks to figure out."
-
When you're alone with him, Jihoon whispers, "I'm sorry.
"I just don't like it. They keep making androids closer and closer to humans... it's not natural. It freaks me out."
You brush him off with a casual smile. "Yeah, yeah. Just go back to fixing your precious hoverports, why don'tcha?
-
After Jihoon heads home for the night, sore and grumpy after lying under hoverports all day, you decide to take Junhui back home with you. Before you turned him on, it was way too inconvenient, but now he can just walk alongside you.
It's mostly quiet on the walk back. You feel a lot safer under the blanket of night with Junhui next to you -- normally, the streets at night are more daunting.
"Were you going to sell me?"
Androids don't ask questions. You don't really process before you answer him.
"Nope."
Too busy stuck in your head, trying to understand why or even how Junhui asked you something so unlike any android you've ever interacted with, you don't notice the way Junhui's lips curl up or the word that slips quietly from him.
"Good."
-
You expect life with a brand new, better-than-the-rest android at home would be easy. Nope.
Every day, you learn something new about Junhui, and every time you do, he seems to act that much more human. It's scary at first, but you grow to get used to it -- his metal arm is a good reminder of what he is, even if his face doesn't show it.
-
It's a night like any other night that you cry.
Life sucks, and for one reason or another, you slam your apartment door behind you with tears streaming down your face.
Junhui approaches you at first with his usual smile, but it drops when he sees your condition. You'd feel cared for if you didn't know that's just in his programming.
What you're almost sure is not in his program is hugs.
But he's hugging you anyways.
"Junhui," you mumble, frozen in shock. "What are you doing?"
"Tears are a result of sadness."
"Okay but... what are you doing," you repeat.
His arms don't loosen at all around you. "My data says that humans respond well to this type of touch during moments of duress."
Well, he's not wrong. You don't mind this hug at all, but a thought tickles the back of your mind.
It's all in the data. None of this is real.
-
Of course, your heart doesn't care what your mind thinks.
You walk into the shop after a particularly stressful trade deal to find Jihoon standing next to the hoverport he's been working on.
"Where's Jun?"
Jihoon turns your way and smirks, pointing down at the floor beneath the hoverport. You walk closer and look around the worktable to see Junhui slide out from beneath the hoverport, grease smudged on the coveralls you got him when he started helping you around the shop. He smiles at you, big and bright, and oh fuck.
Not noticing your inner distress, Jihoon holds out a hand to help Junhui stand up -- not that he needs it.
"For an android, he's not too bad."
Not too bad indeed.
-
It starts as a tickle in your throat.
You think you know exactly what it is, but you brush it off as dehydration anyways, and when Junhui questions about it, you just ask him to pass your water bottle.
Jihoon doesn't say anything when you ask him to watch over Junhui the next day, thankful for the extra helping hands while you're out.
The first petals are grey.
Funny, you think. Unnatural flowers for your unnatural love.
Fuck.
-
You can't keep Junhui away for long. He comes home all on his own after three days of staying at the shop, and you don't even have the strength to greet him at the door.
Jihoon stopped accepting your flimsy excuses tonight, and he would've come back with Junhui if it weren't for his respect for your privacy -- one thing that Junhui doesn't have.
He finds you on the floor next to your bed, blood smeared over your chin and clothes.
"You're ill," he states simply as he sits you up. His expression turns into that of concern, and if it didn't hurt so bad, you might just laugh. Damn advanced programming -- making you think he actually cares.
"No shit."
The two words are all it takes for another coughing fit to rack through you, more painful than the last, as is the pattern you've suffered through in the past three days. Grey petals spew from your mouth, partially stained with red. Junhui's eyes dart to them, and you watch in tired amusement as he processes the information.
"Hanahaki disease," he identifies.
You want to say bingo, but you don't.
"My data says that the Hanahaki disease was eradicated over one hundred and fifty years ago."
"Yeah, well. My data--" You hold up stray petals in front of his face. "-- says otherwise. Runs in the family."
Junhui’s brow furrows. “Understood.” A few seconds pass, filled with only the low hum of Junhui’s engine and your shallow breaths. Your eyes are screwed shut from the pain. “I do not know how to help you.”
You didn’t think he would.
“Jun... you know what it’s like to want, right?”
He blinks. “No. Wanting is a human trait. I have no desires or needs.”
“That’s where you’re wrong.” You see him frown and open his mouth, probably to tell you that he can’t be wrong, but you cut him off. “It might be a little different, but you have your own wants, Jun. Your programming makes you want to help me. That’s why you came home today even when I told you not to. You decided to come here on your own because you wanted to. Get it?”
You can almost see the metaphorical cogs spinning behind his eyes. “Understood.”
“What you don’t know is how to be selfish,” you tell him. “Humans want what we can’t have, and that’s what makes us weak.”
Junhui’s eyes glance over at the bloodstained petals once more.
“Hanahaki disease is caused by unrequited love. You are suffering because you want something you cannot have. Understood.”
You can tell he’s still searching his databases for ways to help you, but it’s no use -- too late for anything now.
“Are you in love with someone?” he asks.
You smile. “Yes. Madly.”
“Then stop.”
You laugh.
You laugh and you cry and you cry some more because you’re in love with a fucking robot and have flowers growing in your lungs.
“I want you to live.” It’s the first time he’s used that word. Want.
You look up at him. At his two brown eyes, one lighter than the other. At his fake skin and fake frown and fake heart. You want to bring your hand up to his cheek, but you don’t have the strength.
“Then I guess we both want things we can’t have.”

FRANCE, Le Portel (Pas-de-Calais). 17/03/2019: Ligne de Longueau-Boulogne. Terminal du Hoverport. 50°42'52.998" N 1°34'28.002" E “The Battle for the Rail”. my contribution to an assignment by MAPS for the “Institut Pour La Photographie” in Lille about abandoned railway stations in the Hauts-de France. In Hauts-de-France as in Europe as a whole, the railways, intimately linked to the indus- trial era and the capitalism of the early 19th century, conveyed coal and the resulting social inequalities and struggles. In the second half of the 20th century, industry and the labour market diversified. The significant investment required to maintain an extensive rail network was no longer justified. The democratisation of the car in the 1960s drained all public investments: roads were tarmacked, countless roundabouts were built and railway stations were abandoned. Then came the 21st century: growth becomes sluggish, the car compounds global warming, petrol prices continue to rise. Driving a car is criticised for ecological reasons, while the yellow vests take over the roundabouts, strategic locations, essential for mobility. Social inequalities related to mobility resurface. Living in small villages becomes difficult. People leave them. Small towns are dying. Today, the railways struggle to perform efficiently and meet current challenges: a modified and environmentally friendly transport map. A money-making rail network is not going to become a railway serving individuals any time soon. As illustrated by the abandoned stations in the Somme, Pas-de-Calais and the Oise. The photographs were taken with a Leica S with a Summarit-S 35, kindly made available by LFI Magazine. #MAPS #MAPSimages #lfimagazine #institutpourlaphotographie https://mapsbase.photoshelter.com/.../C0000LEM2x.zmXCU https://www.instagram.com/p/CFi8Zl0ppE4/?igshid=58e2p1sixrny

THOMAS DOLBY - “ONE OF OUR SUBMARINES”
A perfectly wistful and evocative track, that shows Dolby at his haunting and nostalgic best. It remains one of the relative staples of his cultish catalogue, and was released as a single after his big hit, “She Blinded Me With Science.” Inspired by the tale of Dolby’s uncle, who perished in a submarine during the Second World War, it weaves together the themes of dreary life during wartime with the consciousness that shifting political forces were bringing the peak of imperial Britain to a close, and changing the role it was bound to play in the world of the future; “bye-bye empire,” indeed. I’ve often thought it was the kind of track that wouldn’t play especially well with American audiences, in particular, given that sort of outlook on war and national pride, but despite the huge variety of rereleases and alternative versions of The Golden Age of Wireless, this song was a fairly consistent inclusion.
YouTube essayist Todd in the Shadows, who covered Dolby’s career on his series “One Hit Wonderland,” seemed a bit confused by this track due to its reference to submarine crew “drinking heavy water,” which would be produced by a nuclear engine, and that obviously wouldn’t have been a thing during WWII. To me, it was always pretty clear that despite being inspired by one thing or another, a work of art is its own semiotic ecosystem. Dolby, or any other artist, has the right to conflate things, make vague, abstract, or even deliberately confusing narratives, and throw things in just because they sound or feel “right.” Far from some kind of sin, I think that sort of thing adds interest and depth to a work. Todd also seemed a bit peeved at the mention of a “hoverport” in another of the more beloved tracks on this album, “Europa and the Pirate Twins,” as though setting a story vaguely in the future is some sort of oversight. While I’m not really here to start drama with Mr. In the Shadows (whose work fans of mine probably enjoy for similar reasons), this sort of thinking does seem a bit close to anti-intellectualism for my taste, and I do find it regrettable, even if I shouldn’t expect much from someone who approaches the titanic Dolby chiefly as a “one hit wonder.”

New Post has been published on https://travelonlinetips.com/rugby-coventry-train-passengers-warned-not-to-travel-via-southsea-hoverport-137-miles-away/
Rugby-Coventry train passengers warned not to travel via Southsea Hoverport, 137 miles away
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rail journey from Rugby to Coventry takes nine minutes on Virgin Trains. But rail passengers buying a ticket for the 12-mile journey are being warned that they cannot travel via Southsea Hoverport in Hampshire.
Olly Benson was buying an off-peak return from Rugby to Coventry, priced at £6.60. He was surprised to read on the screen: “Route excludes Southsea Hoverpt,” and tweeted a picture.
Southsea Hoverport in Hampshire is the mainland end of the UK’s only scheduled hovercraft link, serving Ryde on the Isle of Wight.
Read more
Even though the nearest station to the hoverport with actual trains is a mile away, the terminus is recognised as a station and appears in the national rail journey planner system under the code SHV.
A journey between Rugby and Coventry that included Southsea Hoverport would involve a diversion adding at least seven hours to the journey, and involve a minimum of four trains and two buses.
The link between Southsea and Ryde is the world’s longest operating hovercraft service. It is run by Hovertravel. When The Independent informed the managing director, Neil Chapman, of the bizarre route exclusion, he said: “We would never would wish to exclude anyone, and welcome all those passengers from Rugby to Coventry.”
Travellers on the Midlands link are offered the opportunity to break their journey along the way – even though there are no intervening stations.
Other ticket machines elsewhere in Britain give different warnings for anyone hoping to buy a ticket from Rugby to Coventry.
Jeremy Corbyn chats to passengers on Northern Rail train about safety for women
At the UK’s busiest station, London Waterloo, passengers buying the ticket are told that they will need to buy a separate Underground ticket. The nearest Underground station is about 75 miles from Rugby.
The Rail Delivery Group is working on proposals for what it calls “root and branch reform” of train fares in Britain, which are governed by the extraordinarily complicated Ticketing & Settlement Agreement of 1995.
Mr Benson also reports strange terminology by the train manager on one of the services on the line. “According to the PA this @VirginTrains train is apparently ‘heavily commuterized’,” he tweeted.
It is believed to be a reference to large numbers of passengers using the service between work and home in the Midlands, rather than travelling longer distances between London and Birmingham.

Thomas Dolby, “Europa and the Pirate Twins”
I was fourteen She was twelve Father traveled, hers as well Europa Down the beaches Hand in hand Twelfth of never on the sand Then war took her away We swore a vow that day: We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa Oh my country, Europa I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa Ta republique Nine years after, who'd I see On the cover of a magazine? Europa Buy her singles and see all her films Paste her pictures on my windowsill But that's not quite the same It isn't, is it? Europa my old friend We'll be the Pirate Twins again Europa Oh my country. Europa I'll walk beside you in the rain Europa Ta republique Blew in from the hoverport She was back in London Pushed past the paper men Calling her name She smiled for the cameras As a bodyguard grabbed me Then her eyes were gone forever As they drove her away We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa Oh my country, Europa I'll walk beside you in the rain Europa Ta republique We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa Oh my country, Europa I'll stand beside you in the rain Europa Ta republique
