This one took me completely by surprise and I apologise for the quality of this one, but nevertheless, this is London Country AN4 (JPL 104K), a Park Royal bodied Leyland Atlantean.
It was on driver training duties at Chatham.
When she was a child my mother, who is now 97, lived and went to school not far from Salthill which was at the time a very popular holiday destination.
As I have never liked Irish seaside resorts and as my mother has always described Salthill as similar to Bray I never bothered visiting until this week. While my mother’s description is accurate to some degree I would describe it as being more attractive than Bray. Unfortunately I rained for the duration of my visit and because of the overcast sky my photographs are less colourful than I would have liked.
Salthill is a seaside area in the City of Galway in the west of Ireland. Lying within the townland of Lenaboy, it attracts many tourists all year round. There is a 2 km long promenade, locally known as the Prom, overlooking Galway Bay with bars, restaurants and hotels.
Salthill was, until 2007, home to one of the biggest non-fee paying air shows in Galway, the Salthill Air Show, which took place in June over Galway Bay. The show annually attracted over 100,000 people and generated over €1m in revenue.
I got the 401 bus from Eyre to Salthill Promenade - there is a bus every twenty minutes. To the best of my knowledge the bus fare is Euro 1.80 each way but as I have a travel pass I did not have to pay.

An advert in the Staffordshire County Handbook c1960 for the local bus and coach company Potteries Motor Traction, PMT. The company had its origins in the areas Victorian tram system that upon switching from steam to electricity came together as the Potteries Electric Traction Company. With abandonment in 1928 and in view they were now wholly a bus fleet the name was changed to "Motor" in 1930.
Operating both local stage carriage services as well as long distrance coach services, often in conjunction with other operators, and excursions and holidays, their red and white liveried vehicles were a familiar sight until merged fully into the National Bus Company in 1969. They never had as much as a monopoly as many other such concerns in that the Potteries had numerous private operators vying with PMT.

Speaking of bus garages, here is a splendid, fortunately extant, example at Great Yarmouth dating, I should think ...by the look of those fluted buttress things... from the 1930s. I can't remember whether Yarmouth had a municipal bus operation, but I think not. There was "Waveney", but I think that was Lowestoft. So presumably this was the Eastern Counties garage in the town. Of course, this impressive frontage is a mere screen. Behind it is a utilitarian shed with a corrugated iron roof. But then, a bus garage is a utilitarian structure. The point is that the operator went to a lot of trouble (and expense) to present a dignified and pleasing aspect to the public it served.
Timetable from Fife Scottish for the relaunched Service 57 as Fife Coastliner. Through service between Edinburgh and places like Kirkcaldy and Leven in Fife had started in September 1964 initially as a joint venture between Eastern Scottish and W. Alexander & Sons (Fife) Ltd. The latter company traded as Fife Scottish from 1978 and legally changed its name to Fife Scottish Omnibuses in 1985. The service was relaunched in 1987 as Fife Coastliner. Stagecoach purchased Fife Scottish in July 1991. A quarter of a century later and Stagecoach has developed a network of express services linking Fife and Edinburgh and the 57 has disappeared. The Coastliner branding has reappeared (as Fife's Coastliner) on the local Service 95 between Leven and St Andrews. Kirkcaldy's large Esplanade depot mentioned on the timetable cover closed some years ago but Aberhill is still in operation.

Borders Buses ( a subsidiary of the West Coast Motors group (Craig of Campbeltown)) took over the last remaining routes operated by First Scotland East in the Scottish Borders from 26th March 2017
I could not believe that an 'out-of-action' bus could block a street for more than an hour.
More than an hour later I returned and the bus was still blocking the street.
I should mention that I used the bus service over a three day period in 2017 and found it to be good even if frequency was not as good as I had hoped.
If you intend to use public transport in Belfast I would advise you to purchase a travel pass. However as Belfast is more compact than you may expect it may not be necessary to use public transport. If you are visiting Belfast for the first time I would suggest that you use one of the tour buses with an open top as any that I have tried are excellent.
Also if you are over 66 years of age and are a citizen of the Republic you are entitled to free public transport in Northern Ireland [not sure if this will continue after Brexit]. For details visit www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfa... The application process is not complicated so if you qualify get it sooner rather than later. In case you are wondering pensioners resident in Northern Ireland are also entitled to free travel in the Republic and many people take advantage of this benefit.

A low-grade photo which may stir memories among a few former Lawrence Hill Depot bus crew. I can't imagine that this was an over-photographed location. Bristol "city" service no. 88 was extended at peak hours and lunchtime to "Filton West", becoming 88E. Filton West was the BAC works adjoining the airfield at Filton, approached from the usual 88 terminus at the end of Charlton Road, Southmead. This was taken on the length of private road leading into the Works. All the last few hundred yards of Charlton Road have since been absorbed into the BAC site and a new turning circle provided for buses. On Google satellite view it appears that the access roads have been altered, but I think this bend is still there.
This was the next shot on the film from the rear view of a Bristol FLF ("Means of egress") a few positions back in my photostream. That bus was about to operate an 88E, so I think it safe to assume that this was taken from the same bus at the opposite end of its route. It was Tuesday 18th November 1975. I must have been enjoying a few minutes' peace and quiet with my feet up on the front upper deck seat after the last passengers had alighted. The few figures in the field behind the approaching bus are probably BAC employees taking a breather during their lunch hour. But what about the approaching bus? The registration number is difficult to make out, but I think it is probably 432 FHW, fleet no. L8542, an ex-Country, Gardner-engined Bristol LD new in 1959 and then in its last six months of working life. Mind you, all of 432-5 FHW were Lawrence Hill buses at the time. At the bus stand inside the Works we would be joined by one of the grey-painted ex-London Transport RTs which provided the internal service around BAC's vast site. Why did I never take a photo?

From an undated but c1960 official guide to the County Borough of Warrington, then in Lancashire, comes a fold out map and guide to services fronted by a single page advert.
The municipal operation had, like most others, begun with tramway operation, in Warrington's case in 1902 with the trams withdrawn and wholly replaced by buses by 1935. The operation survived the 1985 deregulation and is, indeed, still a municipally owned company trading as "Warrington's Own Buses".
The route network was mostly within the Borough boundary but in common with most other Lancashire municipalities a number of joint routes, involving other operators, existed although the map does not necessarily make this clear!

Vanwege werkzaamheden tussen Blerick en Venlo, het vernieuwen van de wissels van station Blerick pal voor de Maasbrug, reden er op deze dag geen treinen tussen deze stations maar bussen. De pendelbussen op het voorplein van station Blerick.
Due to engineringsworks, renewal off a couple off points between the stations from Blerick and Venlo, the was a busservice in stead of the normal train traffic. The busses are waiting for passengers at the forecourt from the station from Blerick.
As a result of Local Government reforms, in 1973 the Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive (GGPTE) was created to take over the planning and co-ordination of public transport services from the Glasgow Corporation (both bus and rail). The GGPTE was re-formed into the Stratclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) in 1980.
The badges illustrated above were all used by bus staff. The GGPTE cap badge in chrome and black enamel was introduced in 1975 and remained in use until 1980. This badge would have been worn by either male or female bus conductors/drivers except the cap itself was of a different style (see link below). Rail service badges were of different designs entirely.
The long-service badges could have been worn on the uniform jacket but this would have been a matter of personal choice. Normally, old long-service badges would have been given back to be replaced by the new one, apart from the 35 and 40 year miniatures. The smaller long-service badges were the first to be issued by the GGPTE and the large oval type probably from 1975 onwards. Qualification for long-service award badges would pre-date the formation of the GGPTE so staff working in the old Glasgow Corporation would have been eligible for new GGPTE long-service badges.

In a matter of weeks after this leaflet was issued, on 1 October 1969, the long direct association between the County Borough of West Bromwich and its municipally controlled transport department would be over as the undertaking would be folded into the new West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive along with the other surrounding municipal operators. This leaflet was issued to promote the new 'one man' operated services that replaced existing routes 19 and 28 - on the grounds, as noted, that these loss makers could be brought back into profitability by new roues, new timetables and new fares allied to operation by the Corporation's nice new Daimler Fleetlines that could be OPO operated unlike West Brom's rather fine fleet of traditional front engined, back platformed Daimler CVs.
The tone of the text is rather 'municipal paternalism' - 'your committee', suffer undue hardship', your Committee felt'. "If in doubt ... he will be pleased to help". No women drivers here! The leaflet is also pushing the 'how to use one man buses' line as, for many passengers, they'd been used to getting on at the back, sitting down and waiting for the conductor or conductress to come along and issue the ticket. It was, then, fine for 'women' to do that.
I remember the name of S Jobling as it was carried, of course, on the buses themselves and I used to note it everytime we waited for a number 6 bus to and from Hamstead where we lived for many years in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The name, and the address of the Department and its garage in Oak Lane, would soon go to be replaced by the Executive's legal lettering along with West Bromwich's amazingly complex, for the day, bus livery that retained many features long lost on other municipal vehicles even before PTE's took over.

Another succesful FoKAB Bus Rally & Running Day, and another day to catch up with many of my close friends and contacts. We were blessed with wall to wall sunshine, from early this morning right through to late afternoon. The scenery across Wiltshire and Hampshire, on a frosty, cold but sunny morning is breath taking but made for a great trip with the group, in a great vehicle ;-).
The VR was used a the X96 feeder to Winchester from Swindon via Marlborough & Andover, and was used on the three services during the day. Heartfelt thanks go out to Mark, Stu, Dave, Ian, Terry and Graeme for helping out with the driving, and also to Mike Ede and the Stroud RE group for allowing another session behind the wheel of 2062 on Park & Ride duties.
FoKAB do know how to organise a terrific Running Day, and I think that not enough is made of the effort that is put in by this great set of people especially Ruth and Keith Andrews who organise the schedule. Apologies for not being able to cover the extra journeys this afternoon, but one does have a fuel budget to stick to!
Here's to 2012, New Years Day 2011 at Winchester wont be happening in the Reynolds household, as I need a decent blow out for a change, and London is calling for an overnight bender!
Two Code 3 adaptions of First Bus within Glasgow. The Wright Scania Axcess in “Barbie” livery involved simple cosmetic adaptions, and applications of appropriate water slide transfers.
The Dart SLF in red was a true “Code 3” as the model was dismantled, received interior decoration, the body was resprayed before rebuilding and applying transfers and minor exterior painting such as lights.
Now presented as First Greater Glasgow and First Kelvin, taking over from KCB Network which grew from Kelvin Central Buses from Kelvin Scottish and Central Scottish post-deregulation
Blackrock Castle is described as castellated fortification located at Blackrock, about 2 km [I suspect that it is closer to 6 km] from the centre of Cork city on the banks of the River Lee in Ireland. Originally developed as a coastal defence fortification in the 16th century to protect upper Cork Harbour and port, the site now houses an observatory, visitor centre and restaurant.
I have visited Cork every year since 2006 and almost ever visit it rained thus limiting the scope of my exploration of the city and nearby. This year I took a gamble and visited in September rather than May or June and this time I was luck because the weather was beautiful on the second day. I had decided that I would visit the Blackrock area of the city and initially I had planned to walk there but when I was passing the bus station I decided that it would make more sense to get a bus to Blackrock Castle and walk back to the City centre. I got on the 202A bus as the driver told me that he would leave me within walking distance of the castle. After a while I was beginning to get a bit worried because the bus had travelled a long way and there was no sign of the castle. We arrived at a shopping centre [I believe that it was Mahon Point Shopping Centre] and then the driver told me to transfer the the bus in front, a 202, and to explain to the driver that I needed to get to Blackrock Castle. The driver of the 202 brought me to Ferney Road at St. Luke's Home and when I asked the frequency of the return service he told me once every two hours and that struck me as being odd as my understanding was that the 202 was a frequent bus service [once every ten minutes during the day]. Note: not all 202 buses visit the stop at Saint Lukes and according to the timetable there is one per hour.
Anyway I was at Saint Lukes Home which was very close to the Castle. When I arrived at the castle I had a cup of coffee and scone and when I asked the waiter if it was practical to walk to the city centre he told me that it would take about thirty minutes [tip: when in Ireland assume that half-a-hour actually means an hour]. I took the riverside route and making a guess I would say that you would need to allow at least ninety minutes to walk from the Castle to the City Centre.
To be honest, I did not find the castle to be of great interest but I did not investigate the castle's observatory which houses an interactive astronomy center and has exhibits including a "tour of the universe" and a radio telescope that beams messages composed by school groups towards nearby stars.

Stagecoach Darlington OCU814R, fleet number 814. Alexander bodied Leyland Fleetline.
Not the best of photo's but one of a couple I took during the Darlington Bus War of November 1994 when they forced Darlington Corporation Transport off the roads by poaching 60% of their drivers and running free bus services for 2 weeks. A most unsavoury operation from the 1990's, but what a beauty this vehicle was.
Originally a Tyne & Wear PTE Buses vehicle dating from 1977, was later passed onto Busways upon deregulation before being withdrawn prior to the Stagecoach takeover of Busways in 1994 before being hastily repainted into Stagecoach livery and dispatched back into service in Darlington.

This is Halifax Transit's 2005 New Flyer D40LF MetroLink bus 611 seen on Windmill Road In Burnside Nova Scotia on the old but awesome soon to be retired route 185 Sackville-Downtown MetroLink. This route is being replaced but for the 14 years that it was active it was a huge success ridership wise. I'm sure the new express routes will still service people in Sackville well but the fast service and comfortable seating on the 185 will be missed.
