Thanks for the first hand report, Tim. It doesn't sound as the new trains are particularly exciting from a passenger's point of view. I just don't understand why seating on trains (and buses too for that matter) can't be made more comfortable. I understand that they need to be hard wearing and dura...

I should be despatching the first Class 800 in service at Worcester on Sunday. It's planned to be on the 1728 to Paddington. Hopefully it will be running! 800011 made the first public service with a Class 800 through Worcester working Paddington to Hereford train. I took a ride from Worcester to He...

Wednesday 13 December 2017 still had some snow on the ground so I took a few shots during the morning to record the scene with a few of the Diesel Multiple Units at work to and from the city. 'Adelante' Class 180 no longer work on GWR routes having been acquired by Grand Central Trains for ECML serv...

Diamond Dart 30931 VX54 MUO ex First 42890 was my transport from Worcester to Kidderminster, it had an uncharacteristically very jerky gearbox and noisy transmission which may have been a worn different...

Took a few photographs in a rather gloomy Droitwich this week including Diamond Darts on town services and First Worcester buses working 144 and 144A routes. Missed a shot of the Green Volvos but had a ride back to Worcester on 69435 which was tastefully refurbished internally. The bus pulled strong...

Here are some photographs taken at Crowngate and at Six Ways Park and Ride when that venue had services from Crowngate and Perdiswell Park and Ride. Now there is only a W3 link to and From Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Whoosh Transport is but a memory. December 01 2009 Six Ways 024.jpg December ...

I’ve heard several stories of Hereford depot providing the odd duplicate vehicle from Malvern Wells for the 144 during busy holiday times, but I never thought they worked a scheduled journey. However, just been chatting to a retired Hereford driver and he said that on Bank Holiday Monday’s they use...
