Well, what can I say?! The timetables seem to have sliped down the case. Luckily they have put up another set next to the stop, in the smaller rectangle cases on the bus stop poll. Taken at Farnborough on 30/4/13.
Back in the early 2000s Stagecoach Grimsby operated a Sunday only service in the winter in place of the Train to Barton. It service all the Stations on route to Barton. It only ran for a few years.
From memory they operated the serivce using Mercedes Mini Buses, then later on the early step entrance Darts.
Now the 251 number is the route from Grimsby to Louth.
I've been staring at this bus shelter time table for a couple of years now and I'm still dumbfounded by the sheer uselessness of its invention. One of the least exciting experiences of being chained to public transport, particularly bus services in Liverpool, is that much of the time you're not entirely sure when your transport will arrive. Often, on this route into town at least, often on a Sunday, you'll spend more time waiting at the stop than it takes to reach the destination.
The information here is simply anti-intuitive. It says that Mon-Fri Peak (whenever that is) the buses are every six minutes. Which buses? All of them? Or is this a tag team affair in which at least one of them will arrive every six minutes? This rumour and mythology approach to offering travel information becomes even more acute at evenings and on Sunday when you're told that they're every fifteen or thirty minutes which means you've little or no chance of planning to arrive at the bus stop just on time to hop on.
After a while, a label appeared on the perspex just below, which said if you'll excuse the paraphrasing: "Please note that as of [some date] the information in these timetables will not be updated due to the frequency with which services are changing. So the times and services above may not be accurate and subject to change." In other words, this time table is so irrelevant, it might as well not be here at all. Not long afterwards, said label was fidgeted away, presumably by someone you'd been waiting some time.
The timetabled DMU was replaced with diesel hauled trains until Sunday 15 September. 20189 arrived at Bewdley at 13.00 with the 12.45 DMU service from Kidderminster. It was held here for quarter of an hour as Hagley Hall was running late over the single track section on the 12.00 steam service from Bridgnorth due here at 12.57.
BR Class 20 20189 is a Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotive, otherwise known as an English Electric Type 1.
The locomotive was built at English Electric's Vulcan Foundry and entered service in the Nottingham Division (D16) on 21 July 1967 under its original number D8189. It was renumbered 20189 under TOPS on 1 January 1973. It was withdrawn from service on 1 September 1990.
The locomotive, which is main line registered, is owned by Class 20189 Limited. 20189 arrived on hire at the SVR on 19 July 2022. At the time the extremely hot weather and resultant fire risk had led to all steam services being withdrawn. In contrast today is very wet.
