London United VA66 (V182OOE) was new into service on the 94 route when captured at Shepherd’s Bush Green. Its Alexander ALX400 body carries the attractive red and flake grey livery that was later proscribed by the ruling that buses on TfL routes should be 90% red.
Behind it is the footbridge that connected the West 12 shopping centre with the north side of Shepherd’s Bush Green, notable for its realistic depiction of a high-speed train in British Rail InterCity colours. This became a popular local landmark but was removed a few years later when the area was redeveloped.
VA66 left London United service in 2011, seeing later service as an open-top bus on Scarborough sightseeing services.

During my last visit to London I tried to get a freight traon on photo near Shepherd’s Bush, just besides the enormous Westfield shopping mall. However due to some bad luck I didn’t get a decent picture at that time. Right away when I was there I booked another trip and at the end of august I left for London once again. On the 2nd of september I finally got a chance in the afternoon to go there. During most of my trip it was quite cloudy. However when the 6O85 from Thorney Mill towards Grain approached I had less than a minute of sunshine. One of the few photo’s with direct sunlight those few days was made right then and there. Exactly the opposite of the previous trip.
For the Shepherds Bush Pool.
I miss my Nikon ... I don't think I can pull this off with a DSLR without a Tripod (on the other hand, the image would be crisper, the tail lights of the cars more natural etc)
London is too cold for me these days so I will have to post stuff from the archives till I can brave the chilly weather.
'Slim Jim' Crompton, 33 207 'Jim Martin' hauls the ECS of the 'Royal Windsor Steam Express' out of Shepherds Bush early on a Tuesday Morning, bound for London Victoria. Steam Locomotive B1 'Mayflower' is on the rear.
I'd gotten up at 5.50am (the exif data says this time on the photo but my camera hasn't changed to BST) to get to this spot. But despite the sun coming up behind me the lineside vegetation had grown considerably at this location meaning the shadows were still long. I was tempted to go down to 'Kenny O' a few hundred yards away but then decided to stay put. At least Jim Martin was putting in a spirted performance!

A brightly coloured parrot native to south-eastern Australia, and Tasmania, and, apparently introduced to New Zealand
They enjoy buds, fruit, flowers, seeds, and an occasional insect. Feeding in trees and, more often, on the ground. Maybe because they spend so much time on land they're incredibly alert, usually not lingering for photographs.
I think this one was bolder than average as it seemed to take a look at me instead of simply flying away!
This is the closest I will ever get to a selfie. I had to include myself (extreme left) or crop out part of the mirror, which I think would have been worse.
8897 SN17MTE seen at White City Estate working school extra route 228 towards Ladbroke Grove Sainsbury's.
It was time to play catch up with the school extras, and for that morning, decided to do the closest one to me, V228 - the extra that had only been in operation since schools had re-opened from the 8th March.
The normal route is operated by Tower Transit but the extra is operated by Abellio from Armstrong Way (GW), usually one of the 195 MMCs and it only does a short 228 trip from East Acton to Ladbroke Grove Sainsbury's then a shorter return trip back to White City in the morning.

ADH45047 YX62FTF seen at Putney Bridge working on route 220 towards Willesden Junction.
It's a quiet morning before the rush hour so shots like these are possible albeit in the northbound direction. Though the other side in the afternoon is near impossible as nowadays is busy as ever!
The Star & Garter can be seen in the background of the shot.
Beautiful Tawny, surely largest one i've seen. "Tawny frogmouths are large, big-headed birds that are 34 – 53 cm long and can weigh up to 670 g" ("Nightjars and Their Allies" by David Holyoak)
BE37098 LG72EDR seen at White City, Wood Lane working on route 72 towards Hammersmith Bridge North Side.
Late in 2022, exiting BEs have been introduced to this route. I would've photographed the newer types (the 71 registered examples of the 235) but it was impossible to photograph them during the winter.
Fast forward to March however new BEs for the 226 have appeared on this route first. It didn't take too long for me to get a shot of one myself.
Iconic church in Uxbridge Road, West London. The trees had just had a shave so I wanted to capture the moment while it was available.
When people stare at you for stopping to take a photograph like you're some sort of weirdo but it's perfectly fine for them to stop in the middle of the street to take that ugly ass selfie of theirs 😒
BE37010 LJ18FJN seen at East Acton working on route 72 towards Hammersmith Bridge, North Side.
The use of BYD E200s on the 72 has become common as of recent, with 1 or 2 of the 70/C1 batch of BEs appearing on the route.
VH45153 (LJ65FZK) is seen at Shepherds Bush Green while working on the Route 94 to Acton Green. (12/03/16)
Shepherds Bush, West London. Wrong Lens.
(A break from the Thames but the key element that draws me to the Thames is still there. I like shooting reflections at night).

(I live about 15 minutes walk from this building but I never remember to photograph it though I visit almost everyday - the library part anyway!).
*I haven't used the camera in a while so it was still in BST; I think the time should be 2122 hours
VP477 (LK03GKZ) is seen at Shepherds Bush Station while making a rare appearance on the Express Route 607 from Uxbridge. This is one of the VP's which has transferred from Willesden to Uxbridge to allow the disposal of the TP's. (07/11/15)
This statue representing 'vision' is in the centre of the former BBC Television Centre, Wood Lane, White City. It sits beneath a statue of Helios which stands on a column, and alongside a corresponding reclining statue depicting 'sound'. The sculptor was T. B. Huxley-Jones.
The building was designed in a modernist style by architect Graham Dawbarn and opened in 1960. The BBC moved their operations out of building in 2013 and following renovations, it reopened in 2017 as a mixed use development which includes office space, residential apartments, leisure services as well as rertaining three TV production studios.
Welcome to Shepherds Bush...
West London. England. U.K.
A Rather Unusual name for a Pub
Something to do with the "Cambridge Five" Spy Ring who gave information to the Soviet Union in the 1930's through to the 1950's
Apparently they worked up the Road at the BBC Studios....Nowadays the BBC along with other Mainstream Media only report on News that they they want us to know
Having lead the Class 50 rail tour into London Victoria Pullman and Royal liveried 67 024 and 005 follow on behind through Kensington Olympia.
GBRF 50 007 'Hercules' pulls away from a signal check at Kensington Olympia on a Class 50 Alliance railtour. On this date I'd seen a couple of railtours going via the West London Line on RTT so I ventured down to Shepherds Bush to check them out. I was pleased to see a 50 on the front of this one! A Southern 377 has just by in the opposite direction in the distance.
