Midland Red Volume 2 makes a reference to the S9 rear destination equipment, but it doesn't agree with your memory of 3400... S9s 3357-3406 received full with rear destination blinds and 3407-56 were fitted with revised rear domes incorporating number-only boxes. However, at the same time other cha...

I didn't know that 3290 had survived either - sad indeed to see it in this state. Is that an ex-Birmingham City Transport Leyland Tiger PS2, also not in a good state, alongside it? I believe 3290 was rescued from Hunts Breakers site at Molesworth in 1990 by Mr Peter Hudd who is, or was, a solicitor...

Nice one mate and thanks for the info. One from me at Malvern Wells - I managed to video with the other hand so will post that once it's uploaded. https://c7.staticflickr.com/6/5544/31234804606_fd4e8d54dd_c.jpg That's a superb shot; the train left Birmingham International about 30 minutes down but ...

A few grainy shots of The Welsh Marches Express today Sunday 27 November 2016 at Droitwich en route to Cardiff via Foregate Street , Malvern and Hereford. Two Black Fives 44871 and 45407 headed the train and 47802 was on the rear, presumably for train heating and traction back-up in the unlikely eve...

I would have though the display should show "0 mins" or "Now" when your bus arrived. Anyone who arrived one minute later would be pleased to read they only have a short wait, yet in reality they have missed it. Was the bus running two minutes early by chance? :lol: No not at all...

Spotted a couple of displays on the Service 38 route tonight. I travelled in to the City centre this morning on the 37 from the New Inn, Ombersley Road and noted that the real time display system was telling me how long the wait for the next bus would be in minutes; it progressively reduced as the ...

While heading up the Bromyard Road this morning on the first 420 I noticed at least 4 shelters now have real time displays fitted. They look like they are working too. The one at New Inn, Ombersley Road was working yesterday afternoon, but it has a digital note saying that the the system is still b...

What a shame - a pannier and a '47' doesn't seem quite right and must have disappointed many enthusiasts. Still, these things happen from time to time and can't really be helped when dealing with such elderly pieces of machinery. It was an unusual combination and fortunate that Tyseley run a preser...

The " Pannier Rambler " returns this Saturday , Worcester/Stratford/Kidderminster / Lickey etc. :P Apparently Pannier Tank 9600 failed with a hot-box near Tyseley on the return leg from Stratford-on-Avon and Class 47 47773 replaced it for the journey to Worcester and back, so we did get o...
