Nottinghan city transport's Enviro 400 snapped a couple of weeks ago :) 1654012729 Stagecoach yorkshire have one bus for every depot ,here is Ecclesfield's E400

You are lucky to see any spotters at my local station anymore (Sheffield) even at a weekend ,yet a decade ago there were a good few turning up to do a bit of spotting ,you still get a good few platform enders at Doncaster but even that number has dwindled

I went for class 91 ,had lots of great journeys up and down the east coast over the last few years ,hate the horrid Hitachi units that have more or less taken over ,dreading when MML Hitachi's take over from the meridians as at least they have a comfortable seat unlike the hard ones on the Azumas

First Huddersfield and Halifax have a pretty old fleet ,with 51 plate ALX400s and 54 plate Volvo B7TLs still in traffic

Tried the Flixbus from Meadowhall sheffield to London Victoria and back on Thursday and apart from a switch of coach at Newport Pagnell services on the southbound journey (issues with the coach according to the driver) all went well, and I had a good day in London for my £2.98 (already have 2...

If anyone was to make an offer to TM Travel it would be CT Plus (who took a lot of TMs tendered routes when they took over Powell's ) I don't think Transdev would be too interested

It won't happen but a Huddersfield - Barnsley service would be nice to have again ,when Tracky had Waterloo garage there used to be a couple of services running between the 2 towns but now nothing (yes there is the train service, but that gets very busy now that Northern have dropped the...

Off to London Victoria tomorrow from Sheffield to try out the Flixbus service. It's 99p each way plus a quid booking fee so should be an interesting day ! (however much I tried I never managed to get a 99p journey on a Megabus service ;) )

I did the route a few weeks ago , on the way to Manchester apart from a few hikers going to Derwent I was the only passenger on board ,coming back from Manchester I had the bus to myself till Rivelin dams when a few walkers got on to Sheffield interchange . Hoping this does better business in...

I remember when Tiger won a few contracts for PTE routes in South Yorkshire and the appalling service they ran ,with clapped out solos that always broke down and services that never turned up . They were so bad that they had to hand over the tenders back to the PTE well before time

Once Lockdown has finished I wouldn't mind trying out this service ,but seeing as it's only about £11 advance return on the train from Sheffield to Manchester and i have to endure at best a ride on a versa and at worst an ADL Dart instead of a class 195 i might have to think twice ;)

A ride on the Pronto to Nottingham and a trip on the X10 from Barnsley to Leeds will be my next days out once we end lockdown. I also have a West Yorkshire day saver waiting to be used, and later on when Travelodges and Premier Inns are open hopefully I'll have a few Megabus trips! (Glasgow...

Shame Sandtoft Gathering was called off this year as that was a nice event ,hoping they can open up for the Isle of axholme running day in October

Had my first trip on wednesday this week to Manchester since the covid outbreak and had an hour spotting before coming home and had no problems at all on piccadilly (i kept away from Platforms 13 and 14 though ;) ) i wore my mask just in case i had any problems with the staff but i wasnt even...

i snapped it on Mexborough station ;)

By the middle of june when the shops start opening up in the town centres and the kids go back to school there is going to be chaos on the buses and trains. i had to go into sheffield city centre last week and the bus had to stop picking up passengers due to the 18 passenger limit (in a normal...

There is going to be major problems in the peak time services if and when the schoolkids start going back in june.

Did Glasgow to Meadowhall interchange on a Megabus last summer ,I was dreading it but i actually prefered it over the train :)

i don't comute by rail and when the virus is on the decrease i don't think i'll be traveling by rail as much as i have done in the past couple of years (i did plan to do a 14 day all line rover this summer,all being well if the virus doesnt get me i can do one in 2021)
