Recently invited to Wales by my Aircraft enthusiast friend but alas I couldn't go due to work. However, on his return, he sent me this photo...
Shows an RAF Tornado GR4 in "Heritage Livery"!

I don't think this is regular. It was off the road yesterday morning waiting parts, then arrived in the bus station in the mid afternoon as a spare bus. The engineer who bought it down was one of the ones who came to my rescue the previous evening, so I asked about it and was assured it was fixed an...

I had 35157 on the 365 tonight and just as I approached the bus stop at Hanley Road it totally died on me. No engine, no electrics, and thus no power steering either. With the aid of momentum and gravity I guided into the layby with the old BMMO shelter, and that's as far as we got. With the motorwa...

67651 came back from the Potteries paint shop yesterday. I don't know if anything else has replaced it.

The rail contract finished at about 11:00 this morning and all five loan vehicles have now returned to their home depots.

One of the Leicester StreetDecks ran from Longbridge (20:55 depart) to Bromsgrove last night on Rail Replacement, then dead to the Rugby Club to operate a return Rugby service to Worcester (21:50 depart). Slight oversight by the planners as the loan buses don't have ticket machines so the fans had a...

Everything is quicker than 32066! WR1st was on it yesterday so maybe he can answer your question. Don't get used to it...

35191 tonight at Bromsgrove Rail Station.

Well I'm sat in Bromsgrove waiting to drive my last train to Barnt Green. This one should have started at Droitwich at 1905 but on my previous trip from Droitwich the train was late so the station staff held me for 25-minutes and the Stand-By covered a trip for me. I think he was glad to get some wo...
