Ex-London Transport 'Standard Stock' driving trailer 28 in the car sheds at Ryde St. Johns Road, in Network SouthEast livery, in February 1987.
These vintage units were replaced by LT 1938 Stock cars by 1991, and several were stored for possible preservation, but most of these deteriorated in the open air, and were later scrapped, after useful spares had been removed.
Toady (2020) five Standard Stock cars have survived, and all are at the LT Museum Acton Depot - including two ex-Isle of Wight cars.

From the earliest days of military aviation aircraft have been parked at dispersed sites around an airfield and the crews have needed transport to their machines. Saloon cars have always been a popular form of transport, but lorries and buses have been used over the years.
Built in the early 1950s the Standard Vanguard, together with other similar vehicles, was used to transport V-bomber crews to their aircraft.
This 2.1 litre Standard Vanguard Phase I, 55 AB 66, has been restored by the Friends of the RAF Museum and is in the markings of No.138 Squadron.
Regular visitors to Statford-upon-Avon from Stagecoach in Warwickshire's Leamington depot in the early teens were a trio of Northern Counties Palatine-bodied Volvo Olympians, 16598-600 (N518-20 XER), and for which I had a bit of a soft spot.
Whist Stagecoach operated large numbers of Palatine-bodied Olympians, these were not to the Group's standard because they were the last vehicles delivered new to management-owned Cambus in August 2005, before selling their business the following December.
They were a combination of shorter Olympian chassis and the lower Palatine bodywork, instantly recognisable by the more squat windscreen arrangement.
I caught up with 16599 emerging from Wood Street in Stratford in June 2012, looking rather unloved for a seven year old vehicle.

Photographed on May 25, 2013 in front of the Ypsilanti Automobile Heritage Collection in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I was honored to have my flickr contacts Grant and Rogerio visiting here and the owner of the Frazer was kind enough to arrange a visit to the museum, which was closed for refurbishment at the time.

The standard J biplane, a classic in aviation history, features a rugged design with a top speed of 120 knots. Its wooden frame and fabric covering house a reliable radial engine, offering a range of 300 nautical miles. Despite its vintage charm, the standard J remains a symbol of enduring aviation heritage.

BNSF 1599 and 2334 switch cars at the BNSF yard in Vancouver, WA. At one time, these two diesels were kings of their roads. The SD40-2 and GP38-2 were standard road power on freight trains across every North American rail line, along with their SD and GP brothers. Today, the SD40-2 and GP38-2 see use in yards and short lines. Gone are the days of mainline service for these brutes. At least, for now, they hang on.

CN's unique northern Minnesota captive ore operations are home to the last major fleet of standard cab GE units still in service on any Class 1 railroad. While the rumors of their imminent demise continue, the replacement rebuilt AC446Ms with straight air have been delayed for reasons I don't know. This bodes well for me anyway, because when I'm back up in less than a month the C40-8s will still be reigning supreme.
They are the dominant power on the Iron Range Sub running in sets of three between Minntac and Two Harbors where in this view no less than SEVEN can be seen by the yard office. CN 2040 up front was built by GE in Aug. 1990 as CNW 8541for hauling coal out of the Powder River Basin. Later renumbered and repainted as UP 9063 , she was part of a large group retired by UP more than 24 years ago. The group then served as Citirail lease units for a time until CN purchased the entire fleet between 2010-2012, and later modified a portion of those with straight air for Iron Range ore train service which has explained their unexpected longevity.

Seen on route X5 between Milton Keynes and Buckingham.
Long-established coach service X5 between Oxford and Cambridge was suspended during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, and has now returned albeit using buses. The vehicles drafted in are off Stagecoach's high-profile Cambridge Busway, so these heavyweight Volvos should be easily up to the job! As I understand, the coaches are having screens fitted to protect the drivers and will be back in service following this.
Given I didn't know how long I had before the coaches would return, I made a quick dash to Buckingham to snap the buses in their first week, and returned again for a few more shots a week later.

Typically grubby BR Standard 4MT 2-6-4T 80085 at Victoria station in March 1967, with the ECS for the Southern Counties Touring Society 'Southern Rambler' railtour, in March 1967.. This ECS move was probably the very last BR scheduled steam-hauled service at the station, and the railtour itself was billed as the ‘Last Steam to Eastbourne’..
80085 was withdrawn at the end of steam on the Southern Region - in July 1967 - and scrapped in November. Fifteen examples have survived into preservation, although some of these are still in 'scrapyard' condition.
Today (2026) the station has been substantially rebuilt, and passenger services here are provided by Southeastern, Southern, Gatwick Express, with Pullman services by Belmond..
