Hi Everyone I thought I'd share with you my design for a Lego Leyland National finished in London Transport red. It's 6 studs wide, seats for 8 minifig passengers plus a driver, luggage rack, detailed cab area, visible engine at rear. Comments and suggestions welcome, it would cost approx £40...

Found these on Amazon, anyone else seen any British Lego Transport models?: Class 47 Large Logo: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Build-Your-Own-Lego-Class/dp/166108513X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3SCVXD6YISGE2&keywords=british+lego+transport&qid=1582216024&sprefix=british+lego+tra%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-1 Class 47...

So recently it appears the operation of the 758 has moved from Hemel to Luton and is shared with the 757 but also it appears the 66 plate VDL's are no longer to legal spec and are no longer being used along with the other white VDL's recently seen on the route. The new coaches ordered haven't...

Just found this on Amazon, in both kindle and paperback format: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F1W97PX Have downloaded the sample and there seems to be loads of drawings included of buses of various ages, well worth a look!

I'm trying to work out how many varients there are now of the new Transdev Livery styles, off the top of my head I can think of (colours listed as front colour/rear colour) Harrogate - Red/Dark Red Keighley - Green/Dark Green Blackburn - Blue/Dark Blue Burnley - Orange/Dark Orange Coastliner -...

I am wondering if anyone can help. At the moment we have the 320 and 500 that operate between Hemel and Watford. The 320 going via Leverstock Green and the 500 via Kings Langley. I remember in my youth travelling to Hemel on the 300/734 and seeing the 322 and 344 being the routes to Watford...

It appears this week that Arriva Hemel have converted services 3, 4 and 5 to minibus services using new Mercedes minibuses to a higher frequency. I don't know how many there are but the lowest fleetnumber I've seen so far is 1005 and the highest is 1017. They certainly seem to be noticable as a...

I was driving along the A41 yesterday and am certain that between the two Hemel junctions, I was over taken by a 2 car Chiltern blue DMU heading towards London. Can any confirm I wasn't imagining things and if so why it would have been there?

Just seen on the latest Intalink service changes that all the Stevenage SB routes are to be renumbered at the end of July losing their SB's...eg the SB1 becomes the 1. https://www.intalink.org.uk/uploads/publications/1417.pdf Under the Luton & District/Shires days their services were...

Apologies for the advertising but I've been working on a collaborative photo book for some time on Londons Transport in model form and finally a preview NSE special is now available on Amazon Kindle for only £2.40: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M59P2Q4 over 90 colour photos, printed version to follow...

Just bought a lovely print of an Intercity APT, the guy (or girl) selling them seems to have quite a good collection for sale, worth a look at the samples even if not to buy...

They have just added my ideal job of being a shunter/fueler at Aylesbury...but it's only open to internal applicants! My question is then why put it on the website? That's just teasing!! Really hoping some kind of trainee driver comes up at Aylesbury but think it's going to be unlikely for...

Link to BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-32801974 It's got me wondering, if a speed test for a bus had ever been set before would this have been beaten? I remember some Leyland Lynxes easily reaching 70mph before.

Slightly off topic from railways but posting in case any one is interested. Found an author on Amazon who is selling several books of London Bus drawings, his London Country Leyland National one appears to be currently free on kindle...

So far I've only added my London model bus photos but most are on rail layouts so you can see some trains or rails in the background, lots more photos to be added soon: www.photoboxgallery.com/transportphotos Got some non London bus models to come, and then model rail (mainly NSE era)...

Apologies if this in the wrong catagory but have noticed something a little odd the last couple of days. I live just south of Letchworth station with the railway line behind my flat. Yesterday morning when I woke I heard a train go past (either a 313/7/21) which sounded rather unhealthy. A...

Seen a fair few photos lately on Flickr where Keighley have had to loan York some Northern Counties Olympians to cover vehicle shortages, mainly the S--VNM Volvo ones but also H142/5GGS. All of which were new to BTS/London Sovereign many years ago. The surprising thing they seem to be...
