I popped to Bromsgrove station earlier hoping to see 799201 , but the path listed in RTT failed to materialise . . . . . . Did see a pair of 37's on the 'test train' though. 8-) I'm not surprised it didn't run after the 'problems with traction equipment' (to quote RTT website) at Gloucester yesterd...

Saw this Wright Streetlite DF bus 32287 SK63 KGO go into Worcester early this morning on the 303 and thought it looked shiny and much cleaner than the usual scruffy buses we seem to get from Kidderminster on the 303 service nowadays. When checking on BusTimes website I realised that it was a recent ...

Pictures have appeared on the net elsewhere of 35155 being returned to the garage on suspended tow behind one of Rogers massive wreckers. According to Bus times website it appears to have broken down at Crowngate bus station having worked an X50 to Evesham and back. Going back years ago when the Eve...

Since my last photographs the contractors have been hard at work on the little-used old Motorail canopy / shed; all the warped plywood facings have been removed and the steel support structure has been blasted back to bare metal and re-painted white, not sure if this is final finish but not a very g...

Thanks for posting, I hadn't realised that China Clay trains still ran from Par to Cliffe Vale. They used to run via Droitwich and the 'Dark Side' in the 1970's and I seem to vaguely remember Western Hydraulics D10XX occasionally being in charge, or was that a regular oil train working to the Black ...

Wrights Streetlight DF 20178 Reg. No. BD20 ODS seen today, Friday 11 August 2023, working along Grange Avenue, Worcester. Not sure if this bus has worked the 303 recently, if so I haven't seen it.
