Happy Wednesday to you all.
No glitzy invites please. I would rather have comments left from my friends.
One of four identical buses, outwardly similar to the indigenous ECW bodied fleet. All entered service in L&C livery but were eventually repainted into CBT colours. I thought it was a shame that the opportunity wasn't taken to update the CBT livery using the Best Impressions styled scheme but using CBT's maroon and cream set off by orange relief to give something like the Burnley & Pendle livery: eg BM71's pic

RFR421P caught earlier in it's career with Ribble by georgeupstairs:
The view from the office at lunchtime. Amid the constant passing of passenger trains I heard something which sounded a bit different, and sure enough it was the coal train from Tower Colliery near Aberdare, on its way to Cardiff and on to Margam. It normally travels via the City Line south of Radyr, arriving in Cardiff from the west, and then using the route through Barry and Bridgend. I'm guessing it was routed through Cathays today because the line via Barry to Bridgend was closed due to a coal train derailment. It therefore needed to approach Cardiff Central from the east so that it could run west on the South Wales main line to Margam.

#16 --- 2 days later --- #1 --- What a way to start a vacation ---
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED:
I was on the 2nd of three six-seater pipers that landed in a remote area about half way down the Baja peninsula in Mexico. After landing we were to go 15 minutes by bus over dirt roads to get to a little fishing village where we then were to take an hour long panga boat ride to our secluded wilderness campsite.
I mentioned that I was on the 2nd of three pipers. Most people from the first plane were on a little hill overlooking the water, but two from that plane were standing behind the back of the bus when the 2nd plane landed. Everyone from the 2nd plane went to the hill except for me. I joined the two women standing behind the back of the bus who were applying sun screen. As the 3rd plane landed and taxied over it was very close to the bus, but I was unaware.
Suddenly I heard what sounded like an explosion, felt something on my back and neck and was sliding on the ground. I kind of skidded across the dirt landing area and then lay motionless for a bit. It was horrible! My whole body stung and I feared the worst. My first thought was of Mom and how sad she would be if I didn’t return. My next thought was that I didn’t want to be paralyzed. And then my thoughts were of not wanting to miss swimming with the whale sharks!!! I didn’t know what had happened.
I was told by the two women that they had seen the plane coming and had seconds to react --- one ran, the other pushed me to the ground and ducked the approaching wing of the piper. As I was pushed to the ground I believe (at least I was told by the woman who pushed me down) that the back of my head was grazed by the wing of the plane as I was in motion toward the ground. The right side of my body was badly bruised by the fall --- face, shoulder elbow, arm, abdomen, thigh, and also a bit of my left knee as well.
I had thought about returning home and not going to the campsite, but once I realized that nothing was broken I had such an adrenalin rush that I wanted to experience everything. I think realizing how close I had possibly come to a horrible ending gave me the strength to go forward.
We took a 15 minute ride by bus over dirt roads to a little fishing village where I washed my arm with bottled water and was given a bag of ice which I placed on my face, arm and thigh alternately while on the hour long panga boat en route to the wilderness campsite.
At the campsite one of the pilots poured peroxide over my right arm and shoulder. Luckily there was a doctor among the 13 “adventure seekers”. He gave me a shot of lidocaine and cleaned out the open elbow that had filled with dirt and junk from the dirt runway.
The next day I was in a wetsuit in the cold water swimming with whale sharks. I believe the numbing cold water helped decrease my pain, and of course salt water is good for healing. The intense excitement of swimming with whale sharks I’m sure increased my adrenalin and serotonin, and this definitely kept me going.
Nine days later and at home, I am now feeling the effects of the accident. I am also “house bound” because I don’t want to be “out and about” looking as I do.
Hopefully soon I will be totally healed.
