I was also at Wythall on Monday - and not living far away I was able to get there and back entirely by bus, which added to the enjoyment! I agree totally with Tim. My first ride was on BCT 2548 which really is in beautiful condition. LD8 4031 was also immaculate and a joy to ride on. I used to trav...

Great pics as always Tim :) Yes, your excellent photos, Tim, inspire me to attend more rallies and museums. I too, will have to ride 3744 sometime. One December in the early 60's, I boarded a similar Midland Red bus at the New Inn on the Ombersley Road, - on private hire to a pantomime in Malvern. ...

Good to see LD8 4031 SHA 431 back on the road. Enjoyed a trip on S12 3744 NHA 744 and SON 2418 GHA 337. Had a ride on Wartime Daimler CWA6 Utility lowbridge double decker CCX 777 new to Huddersfield in 1945 - this bus went very well with a small AEC 7.7 litre engine. Birmingham Guy Arab 2548 must be...

A few more pictures taken at Gaydon today. Lots of variety, very well attended so some patience needed to take photos hence the number of enthusiasts in many shots! 21 August 2016 Gaydon bus event 014.jpg 21 August 2016 Gaydon bus event 023.jpg 21 August 2016 Gaydon bus event 033.jpg 21 August 2016 ...

Three buses from FMR will be heading to Gaydon tomorrow. Alas 67647 will not be making it's first public outing in Urban2 livery as planned because it isn't back from the paint shop yet, so Volvo 66692 will be taking it's place. The line up, cleaned and ready to go... A few more photos of the Gaydo...

Yet there are ten buses in each direction on Sundays! I have uploaded to 36/36A timetable to this website to make easier comparisons between days. Link I am very pleased that the Sunday 36A arrangement hasn't been knocked on the head, I try to promote it wherever possible to residents living North ...

No, all journeys run the same way to the hospital and it is an hourly frequency. Link to Timetable . That is much worse than I had envisaged, incredible that there will only be 5 buses in each direction along Bilford Road with nothing in the peak period. I remember when the 36 and 38 services opera...

OK, all the necessary paperwork has been filed in all the right places so I'm free to post a summary of the changes here. I don't have copies of the timetables yet. Service 36 Route extended to Worcestershire Royal Hospital during off-peak hours only. New timetable with hourly frequency. Whilst dri...

It depends on which rail company and how far they have to go. London Midland tend to be shorter journeys and they tend not to mind buses being used. They even requested double-decks for the recent Foregate Street to Droitwich Spa contract, for example. First Great Western ask for coaches irrespecti...
