    Bus driver dies after incident at Elgin bus station

    Does anyone know whether any sort of collection has been organised for the family of the victim? It would be nice if some of us - especially those who are managing to argue about this tragedy- could offer some financial support to those who are grieving right now.

    Trips by Bus and Coach: Your reports

    Thanks so much for this fascinating account from an area and era I don’t know. It was a real pleasure to read, you bring a touch of Alan Bennett to the forum in the way you bring your travels to life with deft interweaving of fascinating detail within the overall story of the day. A joy to read!

    Cwm Prysor Viadyct

    I really enjoyed reading your account and viewing the photos which are really good. I remember being on an archaeologist guided walk near Trawsfynydd in the mid 1970s. After we had spent time looking at various (Roman?) earthworks in the area, he offered us a glimpse at more recent history with...

Just a low key journey from the coastal edges of the New Forest to Bournemouth & back. I made use of the Morebus X1 service which we have used a lot for...

    Some electric bus questions

    Some electric bus questions

    I’m quite new to taking an active interest in buses and have only recently travelled for the first (and 2nd, 3rd &4th time!) in an electric bus (Cambridge Trumpington Park & Ride). My little grandson and I were equally excited by the smart looking bus and its oh so quiet acceleration and general...

    Preserved DMU updates

    What a fantastic job they have done! I do love a DMU in this livery, takes me right back to my teenage days on the North Wales Coast lines. These days I live a long way from KWVR, but must try to catch some rides in this unit. Wow!

    One/two man operation of diesels and electrics

    Am I right in thinking that when the HSTs were introduced there were two qualified drivers in the cab, as part of an agreement with ASLEF and/or NUR?

    Speedometer

    Apologies for piggy backing on this thread, but I haven’t actually got a speedometer app. Can anyone recommend a good one for me, please? I’m an iPhone user! Thanks.
