Simon Robert ArmitageCBE (born 26 May 1963) is an English poet, playwright and novelist. On 19 June 2015, Armitage was elected Oxford Professor of Poetry, succeeding Geoffrey Hill.
Armitage has a variety of village amenities including a Londis, a privately owned fishing shop, a corner newspaper shop, and the Croft Primary School. Armitage is also the home of Armitage Shanks. It has two churches, the largest being St. John the Baptist church located at the north end of the village. The organ of St John the Baptist church is of particular interest due to its size, age and history. The organ was built in 1789 for nearby Lichfield Cathedral, but moved here in 1865, commissioned by the then organist Josiah Spode (IV) who resided at nearby Hawkesyard estate, also known as Spode House.
Armitage opened on June 9, 1900 as a local station on the original Northwestern Elevated Railroad route from Lake and Wells in downtown to Wilson Station.<ref name=Chicago-"L".org>Armitage Chicago-"L".org (URL accessed October 8, 2006).</ref> An interlocking tower was added on the western platform following the construction of the State Street subway. From the late 1940s, Armitage became a station on the Ravenswood route (now the Brown Line). Purple Line express trains began stopping at the station in 1998 as part of an effort to help alleviate congestion on the Brown Line.
Armitage is a tall, white haired man with a goatee, usually wearing a trenchcoat, suit and tie. His real name is unknown: "Armitage" was a fake ID he used in 2080.
He despises the system of privilege that got his superiors where they are and, by extension, his superiors themselves. Because he refuses to "play the game", he is very unpopular with the upper ranks, despite being very good at his job. Another character trait is that he never carries a gun. Despite this, Armitage's knowledge of weapons is extensive, mainly due to his activities during the Brit-Cit Civil War, when he fought in the London Liberation Army against the Emergency Military Government: however, the LLA were on the losing side and in 2080, he decided to join the Judges instead. The corruption of the new government saw him become cynical and morose, and this only got worse when his lover Liora was killed by the crime lord Efil Drago San, in revenge for the Detective Judge crippling him.
Bruff (Irish:Brú na nDeise) is a town in east County Limerick, in the midwest of Ireland, located on the old Limerick–Cork road (R512). The town lies on the Morning Star river, with two bridges in the town itself. The horse-shoe lake of Lough Gur is nearby.
History
Historical artifacts found around the area date back to the Stone Age, with various buildings up to the early Christian era still extant. Bruff is the hometown of American missionary and bishop John Joseph Hogan. In the sixteenth century it was granted to the Standish family from whom it passed by inheritance to the Hartstonge Baronets, and ultimately to the Earl of Limerick.
The town suffered heavy fighting in the Battle of Killmallock during the Irish Civil War. Near the Catholic Church, there is a large statue of Sean Wall, commander of the East Limerick Irish Republican Army and chairman of Limerick County Council until his death on 6May 1921 during the War of Independence.
The former seat of the O'Grady family, Kilballyowen, is near Bruff.

Car 3458 was renumbered from a 2600 series car since the other paired car with 3458 was destroyed in an accident. Fortunately, at that time there were 3200 series cars being delivered so they renumbered it to 3458 and they paired it with another 3200 series car. During the 2015-2018 renovations the CTA decided to also renovate car 3458 with LED destination signs which made it the only 2600 series car renovated with the LED destination sign.

The Brown Line (and Purple Line/Evanston Express at rush hours in both directions) elevated tracks join the Red Line tracks from the subway here, and trains on those lines stop here.
Armitage Tower is built into the southbound platform, and controlled train movements through the junction from 1943 when the State Street Subway was completed, until 1968, after Ravenswood trains and Evanston Expresses stopped running south of Belmont at all times but the rush, and North Shore Line trains no longer ran, and the Interlocking was converted to hand-throw operation. In the late '90s, with higher service levels reinstated on the Brown Line and Evanston Expresses, the interlocking was rebuilt and reconfigured, with control being from a small relay north of the station. Since the late '60s, the tower has been used only as a CTA field office.
Here on a December evening, the rush hour progresses as standing-room-only trains bypass the stop out of the subway, and stop to load and unload. Also seen is a view from an arriving Brown Line train being outpaced by a Red Line train heading into the subway, plus some views of the street around the station, and its interior with public art.

Today, we have a video of train action at Armitage. Note that this was recorded over a period of several days. This video includes the Brown, Purple, and Red Line trains. The CTA cars include the 2600, 3200, and 5000 series. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my channel for more videos!!!
WHAT IS CAR 3458 FROM THE THUMBNAIL???
Car 3458 was renumbered from a 2600 series car since the other paired car with 3458 was destroyed in an accident. Fortunately, at that time there were 3200 series cars being delivered so they renumbered it to 3458 and they paired it with another 3200 series car. During the 2015-2018 renovations the CTA decided to also renovate car 3458 with LED destination signs which made it the only 2600 series car renovated with the LED destination sign.

Armitage is where CTA's Red Line rises on a ramp out of the subway section of the line and up onto the elevated portion for its run north to Howard Street. It does not stop here however, running on the North Side Main Line's express (centre) tracks to Fullerton, then skipping the Brown/Purple Lines' Diversey and Wellington stops to Belmont. The Brown Line (and Purple Line/Evanston Express at rush hours in both directions) elevated tracks join the Red Line tracks from the subway here, and trains on those lines stop here.
Armitage Tower is built into the southbound platform, and controlled train movements through the junction from 1943 when the State Street Subway was completed, until 1968, after Ravenswood trains and Evanston Expresses stopped running south of Belmont at all times but the rush, and North Shore Line trains no longer ran, and the Interlocking was converted to hand-throw operation. In the late '90s, with higher service levels reinstated on the Brown Line and Evanston Expresses, the interlocking was rebuilt and reconfigured, with control being from a small relay north of the station. Since the late '60s, the tower has been used only as a CTA field office.
Here on a December evening, the rush hour progresses as standing-room-only trains bypass the stop out of the subway, and stop to load and unload. Also seen is a view from an arriving Brown Line train being outpaced by a Red Line train heading into the subway, plus some views of the street around the station, and its interior with public art.
CTA received the Landmark Preservation Award from the city of Chicago for the renovation of the historic Armitage station. The Armitage station has come a long way from its original opening in 1900. As part of the Brown Line Capacity Expansion Project, it was updated to include modern amenities.
