A large scale shuttle bus operation was put in place for BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2026 at Herrington Country Park, Sunderland, with official travel partner Big Green Coach drafting in operators from across the North East and beyond to move thousands of festivalgoers across the weekend.
Shuttle services operated continuously between Heworth Metro Station, Park Lane Interchange and Durham Belmont Park & Ride to the event site from early morning until late evening.
The operation consisted of approximately:
• 30 vehicles from Go North East
• 25 vehicles from JH Coaches
• 15 vehicles from DM Motor Services
• 5 vehicles from Northstar
• 5 vehicles from City Transport / A&A Coach Travel
• 2 vehicles from Stanley Travel
• 2 vehicles from Shaws of Durham
The 2026 Farnborough International Airshow once again saw Stagecoach South operating an extensive network of shuttle buses between 20th and 24th July, linking Farnborough Main Railway Station, Farnborough North Camp Railway Station, Queens Parade, Farnborough Airport (Gate B) and Aldershot Bus Station with the airshow site. Each route operated approximately every 10 minutes throughout the day, providing a frequent and efficient service for the thousands of visitors attending the event.
To cover the intensive operation, Stagecoach South put together an impressive and varied fleet. Alongside its own ADL Enviro400MMCs were several examples transferred from Stagecoach Manchester and Stagecoach Cumbernauld, the latter joining the South fleet following the closure of Stagecoach's Cumbernauld operations and their transfer to First Glasgow. To further strengthen the allocation, Stagecoach Midlands loaned a handful of 73-registered ADL Enviro400MMCs for the duration of the event.
The fleet also offered a great opportunity to see three generations of Stagecoach's corporate identity working side by side. There were still examples carrying the iconic Stagecoach Beachball livery, which in my opinion should never have been discontinued, alongside buses in the Stagecoach Local branding introduced in 2020 and the latest "We've Got You" livery, introduced in 2024. Seeing all three eras together on one operation really highlighted how Stagecoach's branding has evolved over the years.
For me, the main highlights were Alexander ALX400 18504 (KX06 LYW), which was a real pleasure to see out in service, together with several of the new Yutong U11DD electric double-deckers. These buses are part of Stagecoach South's forthcoming fleet of 22 Yutong U11DD battery-electric buses, which will enter service across Surrey and the Blackwater Valley once charging infrastructure has been installed and the power supply has been connected from a nearby railway station. The new zero-emission buses feature low-floor access, air conditioning and USB charging points, and are expected to operate primarily on Service 1 between Aldershot, Farnborough, Frimley, Camberley and Old Dean, together with Service 20 between Aldershot and Guildford, as part of Surrey County Council's Greener Futures initiative.
Those vehicles alone were enough to tempt me into making the 12-hour round trip from Newcastle on Thursday 23rd July.
Despite only spending around two and a half hours photographing the shuttle operation, it proved to be well worth the journey. With buses arriving every few minutes, there was always something different turning up, making for a busy and enjoyable couple of hours behind the camera.
By the end of my visit, I had managed to photograph 28 of the 35 buses allocated to the Thursday operation, which I was more than happy with.
A huge credit goes to Stagecoach South for putting together such a slick operation. The high-frequency shuttle network coped admirably with the large crowds attending the Airshow, while the varied fleet made it an event well worth travelling to. It was certainly a worthwhile day out, and one I'll hopefully be back to photograph again at a future Farnborough International Airshow.

I was told on the journey down to Dewsbury bus station from Dewsbury Bus Museum that I was on the first passenger carrying journey of this bus for 46 years, which would make this departure back to the museum it's second such journey. West Riding Automobile Company 640 is a 1948 vintage Leyland Titan PD2/1 with Leyland bodywork which was finally brought back to the road in 2012 after extensive restoration and is owned by the West Riding Omnibus Preservation Society. After withdrawal in 1967 it became driver trainer A13 until 1975 before being accquired for preservation.
McGill's H7818, YJ16 DXG Optare Solo SR. Operating the 72 for Kirkintilloch under the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) MyBus service (www.spt.co.uk/mybus) This bookable door to door service is, possibly, unique to the west of Scotland. Other operators offer the service in their operating areas, McColls, ShuttleBus, and Stagecoach Western. SPT supply and own the vehicles but the operator absorbs the vehicle into their respective fleet and crew it.
Just a very quick shot to remind myself of an enjoyable evening with my youngest daughter yesterday, 15 November 2013. We took the Red Arrow Shuttlebus from south Calgary out to Spruce Meadows for their Christmas Market. I used to love going to Christmas fairs and markets many years ago, when the kids were young, but ever since they became adults and said they would prefer money or gift cards instead of "things", I no longer go to them. Spruce Meadows is the only one I go to, and that's only because I go with my daughter. Anyway, the Christmas lights were very pretty and I liked seeing this statue among the colourful trees. One of the highlights is the chance to see Santa's Reindeer - such beautiful animals. No sign of Santa, of course - he'll be busy preparing for Christmas Eve.

Am 7. September 2014 war der ATB mit seinen historischen Bussen als Verstärkerbussen auf den Omnibuslinien „M45“ (zum „Tag der offenen Tür“ der Polizeidirektion 2) und „134“ (zum Flugplatzfest des Militärhistorischen Museums der Bundeswehr) als Autobuslinien „54 E“ bzw. „34 E“ geschildert unterwegs und hatte zusätzlich den Shuttleverkehr vom DTMB zur Depothalle des DTMB zu erbringen. Auf der letzten Linie war diesmal „Hugo“ des DVN im Einsatz.
Happy Hump Day!
TGI Wednesday ... that's for sure. :-)
In Denali NP, one of our favorite things to photograph in the fall is the bull moose. This is the time that they begin to congregate in groups and the males begin to lose their velvet in preparation of the rut season. Usually the fall colors begin to be in full bloom and in years past, it seemed that you almost needed sunglasses, as the colors were so vivid and bright. This year however, possibly due to the odd weather patterns that beset Alaska last winter, caused the colors to be not as bright. Though for someone coming from south Florida, where we don't get color changes, it was still beautiful.
For some reason as well, though the bull and cow moose were present in numbers, there didn't seem to be as many. Not really sure why.
This particular bull moose made itself known to us and seemed ready to go ... following the females, velvet shed, and at times hanging with the other bulls. We wished that we could actually witness the action of the rut, but of course, that wouldn't be for another several weeks to a month. Still it's quite a thrill to see these big guys in person and imagine what it would be like when the real action begins. :-)
Thanks for stopping by to view and for sharing your thoughts and comments.

After Auburn University bought its own bus fleet, First Transit scattered the buses it operated there to other services. Buses 7367 & 7699 ended up at the Rochester Institute of Technology, apparently displacing articulated D60LFs 1529 & 1530.
Still in full Auburn paint, 7367 is assigned to the Park Point service on a sunny April day.
