When the Birmingham -London section of the M1,one of Britain’s first motorways, opened in 1959 the forward looking,dynamic Midland Red company lost no time in introducucing the country’s first motorway express coach service with specially built vehicles based on their existing C5 design.

These handsome machines were fitted with torbo-chargers and capable of 100mph [this is long before the blanket 70mph max.] which they needed to be in view of the tight schedule. The motorway proper in those days didn’t start until just outside Coventry and finished at Watford Gap so drivers had to fight their way at both ends of the journey though normal roads beset by roadworks and other traffic to keep to time.

The C5s in their dotage were later converted for bus duties so had their turbo-chargers removed to avoid the temptation of 100mph service buses!

The ten-mile branch rail line from Wareham to Swanage was opened in 1885. Trains will once again be timetabled to run the whole length as from 2016.

 

Meanwhile, during Swanage Railway's autumn gala, No.30777 leaves Corfe Castle station for Norden. 777 belongs to the “King Arthur” class of express passenger locomotives introduced by the Southern Railway in 1918. The large driving wheels made high speed running possible up to 90 mph. Sir Lamiel was built in 1925. This class of locomotives mostly ran express services from London's Waterloo terminus to the south west, places like Salisbury and Exeter. As a result, they had names associated with the area and the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Sir Lamiel of Cardiff was a fictional minor knight of the Round Table. He might have been a "minor" knight but apparently he was a “great lover” I just thought you'd like to know that....maybe.

 

Meanwhile the foundations of Corfe Castle in the background date back 1,000 years with the stronghold visible today mostly dating back 700-800 years.

The Renault Express was built between 1986 and 1999. It was the van version of the Renault Super 5. In some countries it was called Rapid or Extra as Ford had the rights fot the Express name there.

Providence and Worcester B40-8 #4004 pulls the second run of the day out of the station in Woonsocket, RI.

 

With only two more days worth of trips left in the season, the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council's Polar Express finally gets some appropriate weather. Unfortunately, the snow stopped after the first run of the day and turned into freezing rain. But, none the less still festive enough for the kids and their trip to the "North Pole".

For those not familiar, Galaxy Express 999 is an old-school anime series (based on a manga series by Leiji Matsumoto) that started airing in 1977. I'd been watching a few episodes on Crunchyroll which inspired me to build this vignette. The premise is that Tetsuro (the little boy) wants a mechanical body and Maetel is taking him to a place where he can get one "for free". They ride on the Galaxy Express 999 space train, and have (mis)adventures at pretty much every planet they stop at. This vignette is of yet another time when Tetsuro's train pass gets stolen and they have to get it back.

TransPennine Express - Class 185 - 185123 is seen here at Darlington Rail Station on a early Saturday morning run from York to Middlesbrough Rail Station departing Darlington at 06:40 on May 21st 2016.

Since the advent of low cost digital photography, I've occasionally been moved to photgraph things the like of which I'd never have expended film upon.

This shot from 2011 is an example of such gay abandon, though the surrounding scene adds something to just another Optare Solo. That said, and a little more seriously, the operator, North Wales giant 'Express Motors' is no more and I believe this service is no more either ... or its a shadow even of its former sparse self. Express don 't often get good press, but they did at least have a livery rather than a lazy base white with possible stickers.

Here their Solo CY56 MRO enters Borth-y-Gest from Porthmadoc on its shortish journey to the holiday camps at Morfa Bychan. It will turn round in a few hundred yards to retrace its steps to the main road as there's no through route to the destination out of the village.

Express Motors CX04CVF is a Dennis Dart SLF with Transbus MPD bodywork. Seen in Bangor, CX04CVF was new to Jones of Bontnewydd.
