Clean design but note that sitting adults can barely see out of the low-floor section. Very good destination sign.

Buses at the Royal Naval Bermuda Dockyard terminus by the entrance to the Maritime Museum.
This is the standard pink-and-blue livery of the Bermuda bus fleet in two versions. There can't be too many places around the world which have pink bus fleets. Pink seems to be the unofficial national colour of Bermuda, followed by blues and turquoise. There might be some logic behind this as the South Shore beaches are pinkish-white and the inshore waters are often turquoise to blue.
This route serves the whole southern half of Bermuda (the 'fish-hook' section), from here to Hamilton. These later buses have air-conditioning. The Keep of the Dockyard (marked by the wall behind the buses) houses the National Museum of Bermuda incorporating Bermuda Maritime Museum, generally referred to for short as the Maritime Museum. The Dockyard complex is on Ireland Island North, Somerset, Sandys Parish.

Chase Bus 33, fomer LT Buses LS382, is seen in service with Chase Buses. This shot is taken in central Wolverhampton on the loop working that the 560 route uses before heading back to Bloxwich.
Earlier this year Reading Buses took delivery of sixteen further examples of the new ADL Enviro400 MMC (major model change). These were to a high specification including free WiFi, USB charging sockets and a new style of seating by Lazzerini.
Fifteen of the buses (760-774) were painted in a new two-tone green livery and branded "Emerald", to upgrade the South Reading routes 5, 6 and 6a. The sixteenth (759), although to the same internal specification, was painted in generic livery and can therefore be used on other routes. It is seen during the evening peak of Wednesday 19th August putting in a turn on route 21, which is the home of the first batch of MMCs delivered in Autumn 2014 (751-758).

Founded in 1904, Preston Bus has had an eventful life.
Between 1904 and 1994 the company was known as Preston District Travel until, as part of deregulation in the latter mentioned date, it was bought by its employees from the local authority becoming Preston Bus LTD. From 1994 onwards business was normal until competion in the form of Stagecoach started to pose a threat in 2006. The competition escalated into a 'Bus War' forcing the traffic commisioner to step in and force a code of practice upon the 2 rivals. Through 2008 rumours surfaced of a possible acquisition of Preston Bus by Stagecoach, rumours which were confirmed on 23rd Januray 2009 when the company was sold in a £10.4 million deal. On 11 November 2009 the Competition Commission ruled that the takeover by Stagecoach had adversely affected competition in the area and ordered the sell off of Preston Bus.
Currently it is all still up in the air with some buses still branded "Stagecoach in Preston", others back in true Preston Bus liveries. The last news on the issue was news that 200 Preston Bus employee's, headed by John Bannister, had set up Preston Transport in an attempt to 'snatch back' Preston Bus.
Boris Johnson, when elected as Mayor of London, promised he would get rid of articulated buses in London. Despite the economic recession, despite announcing £5billion of cuts in Transport for London's budgets (which will hit the buses particularly hard) and despite steep increases in bus fares in 2010, Boris Johnson is determined to carry through this spectacularly expensive and wasteful crusade against what are effective people movers.
On Saturday 14th November 2009, bendybuses were swept away from route 38 after a mere 4 years, to be replaced by brand new double-deckers. On Monday 16th November Arriva's DW246, a VDL-bus DB300 with Wright Gemini 2 bodywork, is seen here turning from Mare Street into Graham Road; pursued by T67, an all-Alexander-Dennis Enviro400. As these buses have a lower carrying capacity than the buses they are replacing, it has been necessary to increase the Peak Vehicle requirement from 50 to 68 - and this despite a frequency cut over part of the route. How can this make sense?
