Class 122 single car unit TDB975540, the Western Region Route Learning Saloon, set L102, reverses at Gloucester on 20th March 1981. The 'Bubble Cars' as they became affectionately known, were essentially a Class 116 Driving Motor Brake Second with a cab at both ends. This unit was built by the Gloucester Carriage & Wagon Co. and entered service as W55016 in July 1958, allocated to Southall depot. November 1975 saw it enter departmental service, where it remained as a route learning vehicle, until withdrawn in May 1993. It was disposed of by MC Metals in Glasgow in the July of that year.

Amazing colors in Lake Wakatipu when I on the way to Glenorchy this afternoon, the only choice I got was to stop my car. Who cares about the appointment?
I wish the power lines weren't there, but they are, so that's how it is! Just across from the closest Dollar General Store that is closest to us!

Having watched Midland Red's progress with underfloor-engine single-deckers since 1945, many operators minimised their single-deck bus orders until manufacturers caught up. London Transport was by far the biggest operator in the UK and, once AEC introduced its Regal IV design, placed a massive order for 700 such buses. This was also significant for Birmingham coachbuilder Metropolitan-Cammell which won the body order for them, along with 450 bodies for double-deckers.
These buses, known in London as the RF class, were very robustly constructed and had long lives. They were originally operated with conductors but very suitable for conversion to driver-only operation.
London Transport central buses are famously red. Fleet No. RF 381 (registration MXX 23) was delivered in January 1953 to Sutton garage. Surprisingly, bearing in mind the entrance is ahead of the front axle, the red buses were not built with doors although they were fitted later. It was converted to a driver-only vehicle during its May 1965 overhaul.
It was one of the last RFs, retiring when 26 years old from Kingston garage in March 1979. It was sold for preservation and passed to to the Transport Museum, Wythall, near Birmingham, in 1994.

This narrow one-lane tunnel passes through the Marin headlands. Traffic lights [hopefully] allow only cars traveling in one direction to alternatively pass through the tunnel.
This was shot from a moving car using an ISO of 3200. (I was not driving, by the way.) The orange color is from the sodium-vapor lights inside the tunnel. It's actually more of a concrete gray.
It was really cold tonight, so the snow was coming down in perfectly formed flakes and I just had to get some pics with my new MPE-65mm.
This is pretty much unedited, and may be replaced with a properly processed photo soon. I just wanted to get it up ASAP, sensor dust and all, before I went to bed.
Aside from being really cold while taking these photos, it was also really dark and with the dark viewfinder when using this macro lens it made focusing really difficult. I was using the lamps on my ringflash, which work well, but they don't give me enough time to find the snowflake, frame, and focus. They kept turning off just as I found the snowflakes again -it was SO frustrating! I ended up finding a flashlight and bungie-ing it to light up the flakes. It wasn't as good as the lamps, but it didn't turn off on me, so that ended up working best. Eventually I'll get the hang of this lens...
