Al lange tijd stond de bediening van de cement fabriek bij Havinnes (B) hoog op het lijstje. Vorig jaar reed de trein in de zomer maanden vaak overdag door nachtelijke werkzaamheden op L94. Daarna verdween de bediening weer naar de nacht, maar de laatste tijd vind de bediening weer plaats aan de dagranden, dus hoog tijd voor een poging. Nadat op 31 Mei de 1e poging werd gedaan, maar waarbij men helaas lz aankwam, en ook weer lz vertrok, werd op 9 Juni 2021 een nieuwe poging gedaan. Ditmaal slaagde de poging wel, en zijn het de Lineas 7828+7819 die de beladen cement trein 37738 het wachtspoor opduwen, bij gebrek aan omloop mogelijkheid (het omlopen gebeurd aan de andere kant van de overweg, daar is een 2 sporig emplacement). Vroeger lagen hier overigens meer sporen, maar die zijn inmiddels ook gesaneerd.

Lineas 7828+7819 komen met beladen cement trein 37738 door Rumillies (B) onderweg naar Tournai (B), en na kopmaken verder naar Monceau (B) op 9 Juni 2021. Later wordt de trein dan doorgevoerd naar Frankrijk. Iemand enig idee naar waar in Frankrijk deze trein precies heen gaat?

Lineas 7828+7819 zijn zojuist aangekomen op het wachtspoor in Havinnes (B) vanaf de cement fabriek, en vertrekken eigenlijk vrijwel direct richting Tournai (B), en zullen dan aldaar na kopmaken weer langs Havinnes (B) rijden voor de voorlopige eindbestemming Monceau (B), 9 Juni 2021.

Lineas 7830+7832 vertrekken met beladen cement trein 37738 uit Havinnes (B) onderweg naar Monceau (B) op 14 Juli 2022.

Datum : 09-06-2021.

Locatie : Havinnes

Als toetje van de Waalse dag werd ik getipt op de bediening van de lokale cementfabriek van Havinnes.

Lineas heeft een aantal cementwagens gehaald en duwt deze vanaf de stamlijn naar het wijkspoor langs de hoofdbaan om daarna richting Tournai te vertrekken.

Another pic of the GCT-liveried Volvo B9/Wright! This time it was caught as it crossed the Broomielaw outside the Clutha Vaults pub. It's on a highly appropriate service - the 5 (City Centre - Castlemilk), a route which hasn't changed for decades.

It still is in this splendid livery some two years later and is a credit to First Glasgow, who also have kept adverts off it too.

Caught as it climbs up Hope Street, is the Glasgow Corporation-liveried Volvo B9TL/Wright. One of the 61-branded B9s is following. Both buses will head north up Maryhill Road. Three of First Glasgow’s Geminis received heritage liveries to mark the 125th anniversary of public transport in the city.

Seen in Easterhouse is the second of First Glasgow's heritage repaints in the form of Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TL 37738 - SF09LDJ in Glasgow Corporation Transport livery.

The second of the Glasgow heritage liveries to appear is this Volvo B9TL in the 1960s Glasgow Corporation livery. This was the simplified scheme, designed for spray painting. Caught at Buchanan Bus Station on the service to Torrance, a place not served by Glasgow Corporation.

Not apologising for more pics of the still-pristine heritage buses in Glasgow. Looking fine and without adverts since they were turned out in the first half of 2019. The 1960s GCT livery sits really well on this Wright-bodied Volvo B9TL as it descends Renfield Street on a quiet Sunday lunchtime.

A flashback to late spring 2019, and the promotional line-up for Glasgow's 125 event. Nearest the camera are 1980s-liveried Volvo B7TL/Gemini 32657 and Leyland Atlantean LA1204, in 1970s GGPTE livery are B9/Gemini 37751 and Ailsa AV1. At the far end and representing the 1960s are B9/Gemini 37738 and AEC Regent V A350. www.gvvt.org

One of the three heritage-liveried buses with First Glasgow is this Volvo B9/Wright Gemini. It has spent a year in the 1960s colour scheme and is a credit to First. They’ve really looked after all three. 37738 has been the most active during the lockdown phase and was caught on Glasgow Bridge heading for Silverburn (aka the Pollok Centre).
