When the first batch of Enviros arrived at Cumnock in 2008, all were branded as "CC" Connect Cumnock, which covered the selection of routes from Cumnock depot, rather than the branding of individual ones. The branding was also applied to a few selected Olympians and a Trident, however after the first repaint of the vehicles, the branding was lost and the few deckers were also to follow. The photo shows 22591 at Cumnock in 2011, still retaining branding. The branding is yet another item confined to history, as well as Cumnock depot now.

Central Connect seemed to have some varied E200 MMC allocations going on in March, with a few different examples appearing on the 517 for an unusual amount of variety. I say variety, it is just MMCs at the end of the day but they do at least have varying ages/lengths and the application of the livery and graphics also differs between vehicles too.
On 17.3.25 and extra small 517 was to be found, being provided by mini 8.9 metre 371 and pictured on Chilwell High Road opposite the Charlton Arms.

Vehicle provision on the Central Connect 90 varies, with E200 MMCs of different sizes and colours plus the EVM Citylines on Sundays and some workings and variations. This was my first time seeing one of the slightly larger and fully liveried MMCs operating a 90, and although I’ve got a fair bit of disdain for the type I have to say it looks different enough for me to say I like it.
Not all of them carry the full livery with all the branding and extra diagonal stripes; I’ve also seen the simplified version with basic Vectare names on a school route, but looking at this with no context you could easily think this was one of the ‘big group’ operators with the presentation... “transport made simple” and all that. It looks like how you might imagine Arriva if they were classy and had investment.
The whole deal with Central Connect and their rapid expansion buying other companies is intriguing if a little bizarre, with Vectare (as it was) going from running a few minibuses and rail replacements to suddenly owning several operations across different parts of the country, gaining a vast fleet of MMCs out of thin air and continuing to receive brand new deliveries from ADL. Even if they’re leasing their vehicles, there must be some financial wizardry going on at that place.
Part of me wonders if it’ll all fall apart in a few years if their rapid acquisitions don’t pay off, or if they’ll instead go on to replicate Stagecoach of the nineties by proving agile in an uncertain market, punching above their weight and eventually becoming a major player in the bus industry. Maybe they genuinely will replace Arriva as the 3rd big group in years to come, or maybe they’ll just continue as they are, keeping marginal routes going and picking up random contracts.

展望台に登ると、向かい合わせに宮古島。
この海は、島同士を繋ぐ大切な道、
たくさんの人のつながりを見守っているのだ。
私と島を、そしてあなたと島を結んでくれる海。
．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．
一登上瞭望台，就看到正對面的宮古島。
這片海是條重要道路，聯繫著喜歡島嶼的同好們，
並守護著許多人彼此之間的緣分。
是座將我和島嶼、以及你跟島嶼串聯起來的海。

Let's connect with my attic friends, give each other hands and make a line. On the picture you only see 3 girls, but the line of purple girls extends infinitely to the left and right. The purple satin army is ready for combat. No worries though; we are friendly and our weapons of choice are smiles, femininity and sensuality.

This is one of the Central Connect buses which I’d already seen when I visited Newark earlier in the year, but here Enviro 200 MMC CC21 GAL is pictured in Nottingham departing with a 90 to Newark and Fernwood on 17.10.24
Although they took on the route and have managed to keep it going, Vectare/Central Connect really don’t have the presentation that Marshalls did. Of the two ‘GAL’ MMCs this is the better looking one, but in this view it’s filthy. Plus the Marshalls livery is generally nicer.
The weekend past saw some members our marry band of travellers visit the Peak Park Bus Gathering. We travelled aboard Bournemouth Leopard CRU 103C, throwing caution to the wind in the light of current fuel prices. It seemed, perhaps surprisingly, that there was no shortage of support from fellow bus owners either as every available bus parking space was taken. £10 per gallon hurts at 10 mpg if you're lucky!
Anyway, to support the railway on whose land it all took place, I took a ride to Matlock as a paying passenger. To say the short and comparatively expensive journey is pedestrian would be an understatement. I've no wish to knock people's voluntary efforts, so I'll leave it at that.
At the mid point I noted that ex Midland Red Leopard JHA 227L was in attendance on a running day service, so as we ambled across the level crossing south of Darley Dale station I was able to take three snaps of it. This was the final one of the three.

Out in the desert this weekend, and set up my camera & tripod outside my bedroom door on Friday night. I set the delay for a few hours so the series started at about 3AM; 3 minuted delay between photos, and 30 photos total. Camera settings: f/2.8, 20 second exposure, ISO 1600, 16mm. Then I layered them all in Photoshop. The good news: My camera was still there in the morning!! Happy Sliders Sunday.

This was there i was told it is for spares.

After looking at some wierd shapes made from technic on Captain Redstorm's photostream, I thought about using the new tri-connectors to form a continuing shape with the different degrees of angles available. The 5's form a much tighter coil then the 4,s and I was actually able to complete the shape with a couple pieces to spare.
The evolution of technology has been dramatic over the last ten years. The Internet has changed the way we do business, but the technologies fuelling that change have evolved in silos, at different speeds and for different reasons.

I've posted this photo mostly to explain why I've gone on an 'adding contact' spree this morning. And here's why:
I get a lot of people adding me as a contact, mostly because of tumblr and weheartit and bookmarking sites like that. I know that most of those people are just bookmarking my profile, not actually adding me as a contact who they hope to talk to and interact with, so most of the time, I don't add people back. Today, however, I felt like I should change that.
I went through my list and added the people I see that usually comment, or that I've talked to or interacted with in some sort of way. I am open to add more people, but only if I know your name, you know what I mean?
I'm also planning a testimonial exchange, but that's business for another day. :)
So, if you have added me as a contact and actually want to have some sort of contact, but I haven't added you back, let me know through flickrmail! If you're a new friend, you can mail me as well! I'm in the mood to make friends, so let's all be happy, shall we? :D
Hot off the press as I took this one earlier today during a bit of a Welsh mystery tour with 'Mrs R'.
Optare Metrocity YJ19 HXY wearing 'Traws Cymru' livery stands on the station approach road at Machynlleth awaiting its next duty and presumably the arrival of a train. I didn't look at the legal lettering, but I assume it to be one of Lloyd's, based in the town at the old Crosville garage across the road from here?

Victor, CO - I believe you are looking inside an old Gold Trommel. What is a Gold Trommel? More details below.
It's not difficult to find old rusted mining equipment and buildings sprawled about in the Victor and Cripple Creek area of Colorado. While photo hunting I saw this intriguing tube that temporarily hypnotized me. What is this giant religious looking cheese grader? Come to find out it's a Gold Trommel.
A Gold Trommel was used to process gold bearing material by separating out the larger rocks and boulders, like a big sifter. All of the fine material will drop through the screens to be processed, the larger gravels and rocks will discharge out of the back. There are other elements like water being used to assist the process but that's the basic idea behind this thing.
