    Substantive bus service withdrawals post-Covid

    There's less interworking between the 312 and 313 since the end October changes. But add into the mix, interworking between the 312 and the 29 (southern end of the old 2) at Tenterden. And some 313 journeys now seem to interwork with the Northiam shorts on the 29. And all journeys to Rye Harbour...

    What's Happened to the S. K. Baker Atlas?

    The Crecy (owners of the OPC imprint) catalogue gives an April 2020 publication date and it is even mentioned in the introductory blurb so there's hope for everyone, including us booksellers who get asked about publication on a regular basis.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    That photo brings back memories - the six semi-automatic DHW-K LHs tended to live at Weston & Wells and could be found on the 126 as well as the Wells - Shepton - Frome - Bristol circuit. In practice, Wells would have three working vehicles and WSM would have 1 or two working vehicles with the...

    May Madness part 3 – Spicing it up in Manchester, 31st May 2019 “What’s this?”, I hear you saying. “KJ out on three trips in the space of five days? That's a throwback to 2015 or 2016!” OK, it’s taken me a little longer to write up the third one but it’s true, three trips in a week. Making my...

    And I forgot to say, your escapades with the 357s was a timely reminder that I need to go over to that side of town and bag the remaining ones required for 10 miles.

    Indeed, the Skateboard/Dog Box/Tin Rocket was the main target. No. 2 target was also ensnared - 170508. There's still a few embarrassing gaps in my requirements but plans are being formulated to deal with those.

    Muddling around the Midlands – 29th May 2019 Less than 36 hours after my little escapade around the Chilterns, I was back out on the rails again. It felt very much like the old days! This time, Euston was my London terminal as my intended trip was an unplanned saunter around the West Midlands...

    Time to Head for the Hills – 27th May 2019 As my regular followers will know, I have been conspicuous by my absence of late in these parts. The twin joys of a full-time job plus running a small business in my spare time has left pitiful little time for bashing. 2019 has so far seen one bash...

    TRIVIA: Things you saw travelling by bus or coach that you don't see today

    In theory all combinations of compulsory/request red bus/green line were possible (and existed) but the rarest beast was the request bus/compulsory green line flag. The only one that I ever came across was west of Marble Arch heading towards Notting Hill Gate. And in London, where every 2nd or...

    Kite, thanks for the "welcome back" - You'll be pleased to hear that I'm already planning a few jaunts for the end of May. The Somerset Strimmer was high on my list to do and when it came up, I made sure that diaries were kept very clear! While not new track as such, I had never done Filton...
