During the summer of 2011, vehicle shortages lead First Glasgow to hire 10 buses from Dawson Rentals. These were allocated to Scotsoun Depot until the bulk of the new Enviro 400's had arrived. Although most had LED displays, two carried fixed destinations for the 9 and one for the former Lippen service 6 in Paisley.
I've been meaning to build a similar vehicle to the CV90 Armadillo for a while now - which ultimately became the CV-100 Spadroon APC. This guy however started life as a quick sketch during a break at work. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, or even if it would work (the CV-100 was never designed nor meant to have wheels), but the CV-100W came out looking pretty good if you ask me.
The final vehicles to enter service with T. Severn & Sons were two Leyland Atlantean AN68A/1Rs with Roe bodywork delivered in 1977. The second of the pair is seen above at the operator's depot in Dunscroft.
It would become SYPTE no. 1136 in 1979.

E51238 is a class 101 DMU vehicle that has had an altercation and is seen partially sheeted over at Hull Botanic Gardens, 12th March 1977. Whilst working 2D56, 10:15 Hull - Goole (with E56073) on the 11th November 1976 it collided with a brake van that was left on the Up Slow line at Melton Lane Signal Box. On the foggy morning the Signaller had not realised that as part of the shunting of 9T61, the brake van and a number of wagons had been left on the Up Slow and he gave “Train out of Section” for 9T61 and accepted 2D56 in error.
Unit History
The first Class 101 Metro-Cammell vehicles were ordered early in 1955, seven hundred and sixty vehicles were built in total, four hundred and sixty five vehicles were for the Eastern Region and North Eastern Region, one hundred and fifty nine vehicles for the Scottish Region and one hundred and thirty nine vehicles for the London Midland Region. They were formed into two/three or four vehicle sets. Almost identical in external design but with many more variations in vehicle type these units were destined to become the longest serving DMU cars ever built, outlasting British Rail itself. From local branch lines in East Anglia to the North Wales coast, from Perth to Penzance in the far south-west, these units gave sterling service to all areas for over forty years. SC51238 was a Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) ordered on the 7th May 1957 as part of an order for thirty two car power/trailer sets for the Scottish Region. They were delivered May to July 1958 and allocated to Dundee for Fife local duties. By 1965 SC51238 had migrated to Hamilton for South Clyde local duties and by 1969 it had migrated to the Eastern Region becoming E51238. It did not survive its altercation as the damage proved fatal and it was withdrawn. It remained at Botanic Gardens for several years rendering all sorts of spare parts until eventually broken up.

One of three Brand new Staffordshire police vauxhall insignia Advanced response vehicle's. These replaced the Skoda octavia's of which only two remain in the fleet. The insignia pictured replaced this octavia: www.flickr.com/photos/110046047@N08/13347964183/in/set-72...
At present there are only two facelift insignia's with Staffordshire police which are based at Lichfield and Cannock, the one pictured is Lichfield's.
Lighting has been significantly improved compared with other vehicles in the fleet with LED lights now added to the grill, front and rear bumper and on the door mirrors where are before most vehicles were only equip with a roof mounted lightbar.
Note how Staffs vehicles registrations now start with BX rather than the usual VX.
This happened right in front of me today in Trafalgar Square. I heard this Metropolitan Police ANPR Interceptor on blues and twos responding to something, when this Land Rover pictured here hit the rear end of this rather valuable car. You can see a slight, but visible dent and scratches behind the rear wheel. The two vehicles later pulled over and were joined by two other Met police vehicles. I don't know what the driver was thinking! This photo was taken just 30 seconds after the collision. It'll cost a bit to repair it, I'm sure. The two officers were having a talk to the driver here, shortly after the incident, and they later pulled over.
You couldn't really pick a worse car to crash into!

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Runcorn Folly Lane Yard.
Date : 17/01/1987.
Type : Chemical Solvent Tank Wagon.
Weight : 46 t GLW / 12.90 t Tare.
Number : PR 58309.
Number Series : PR 58300 to PR 58313.
Builder : 1967 & 1970 by Standard Wagon Co. Ltd, Heywood Works, Lancashire, England.
TOPS Code : TTA
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
This tank wagon was owned by Procor Wagon Leasing and spent its working life on hire to ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd) and used by their Mond Division (ex Brunner Mond Co.) to carry Tetracholoroethylene. The yard at Runcorn Folly Lane was used as the exchange point between the BR network and the ICI operated branch to Rocksavage which served the various ICI chemical complexes along the banks of the River Mersey at Weston, Castner-Kelner and Rocksavage.
Tank wagons left Folly Lane in block loads to places like Holywell, Burne Naze, Corckickle, Immingham, Grimsby, Seal Sands, Stevenston and Willesden plus a lengthy list of wagon load destinations. With the move towards smaller quantities of chemicals used in industry and environmental concern over storage of large quantities of dangerous chemicals the need for bulk rail flows became less viable. Bulk Chemicals by rail within the UK has all but ended and the once vast tank fleet has largely been scrapped. These days tank-tainers on container wagons are the norm and the only remaining flows from Runcorn are of Nitric acid or Caustic Soda to Sellafield and Dalry.

The CV-100’s armour is designed to give the vehicle superior battlefield survivability in conventional manoeuvre combat, but is also meant to equally well defeat threats more associated with low-intensity conflicts, i.e. RPG- and IED attacks.

The Volkswagen Type 1 is an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. It used an air cooled rear engined rear wheel drive RR layout.
In the 1950s it was more comfortable and powerful than most European small cars, having been designed for sustained high speed on the Autobahn, and ultimately became the longest-running and most-produced automobile of a single design. It remained a top seller in the US, even as rear-wheel drive conventional subcompacts were refined, and eventually replaced by front-wheel drive models. Its success owed much to its extremely high build quality, and innovative and eye catching advertising. The Beetle car was the benchmark for both generations of American compact cars such as the Chevrolet Corvair, and subcompact cars such as the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto. It was a German equivalent and counterpart to the Morris Minor, Renault 4CV, Citroen 2CV, Fiat 600, Saab 92, and Volvo PV444 immediate post war European economy cars. The 1959 Austin Mini that pioneered the use of the transverse front wheel drive FF layout, was the beginning of a switch to front wheel drive by European manufacturers in the 1960s and 1970s, Volkswagen were among the last to change with the Golf, after nearly going bankrupt. The Beetle was thirteen feet long and the Mini was only ten feet, but they had similar interior space.
The car was originally known as Käfer, the German word for "beetle", from which the popular English nickname originates. It was not until August 1967 that the Volkswagen corporation itself began using the name Beetle in marketing materials in the US. In Britain, VW never used the name Beetle officially. It had only been known as either the "Type I" or as the 1100, 1200, 1300, 1500, or 1600 which had been the names under which the vehicle was marketed in Europe; the numbers denoted the vehicle's approximate engine size in cubic centimetres. In 1998, many years after the original model had been dropped from the lineup in most of the world (production continued in Mexico until discontinued, officially on 9 July 2003), VW introduced the "New Beetle" (built on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 platform) which bore a cosmetic resemblance to the original.

Der VW Käfer ist ein von 1938 bis 2003 von der heutigen Volkswagen AG produziertes Automodell und war bis Juni 2002 mit über 21,5 Millionen Exemplaren das meistverkaufte Automobil der Welt, bis er diesen Titel an seinen Nachfolger, den VW Golf, weitergab.
Die Ursprünge des VW Käfer gehen auf staatliche Bestrebungen des nationalsozialistischen Deutschland zur Schaffung eines für breite Bevölkerungsschichten erschwinglichen „Volkswagens", seinerzeit KdF-Wagen genannt, zurück. Großen Anteil an der Entwicklung hatte Ferdinand Porsche, der allgemein als Schöpfer des Käfers bezeichnet wird. Die Idee eines „Volkswagens“ ist in ihren Grundzügen aber älter als seine Entwicklung zur NS-Zeit.
Der KdF-Wagen wurde vor dem Krieg nicht mehr in Serie produziert, weil das im Mai 1938 gegründete Volkswagenwerk bei Fallersleben (heute ein Stadtteil Wolfsburgs) noch nicht fertig war. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden dort Militärfahrzeuge und andere Rüstungsgüter hergestellt, sodass die serienmäßige Produktion des dann Volkswagen genannten Wagens erst im Sommer 1945 beginnen konnte. Bis zum Jahresende 1945 wurden 1785 Wagen hergestellt und an die Besatzungsmächte sowie an die Deutsche Post geliefert. Ab 1946 konnte der VW mit Bezugsschein zum Preis von 5000 Reichsmark auch privat gekauft werden.

Now that the force is sadly riding off into the sunset (it becomes the Highlands & Islands Area of the Police Service of Scotland on 1st April 2013) I have been wallowing in nostalgia. Looking back over my photos, here's a few I had not previously uploaded. These vehicles will have all long gone to the great Auction Mart. Very hard to believe it is 8 years (some more than that) since I took these shots.
The old Traffic Unit Range Rover waiting to be stripped and disposed of. This old war-horse performed sterling work on the trunk roads of the Highlands (check out the roof furniture!) but for some reason it did not look so smart in the NorCon livery as its successors. Possibly the amount of black trim had that effect?
Here in this photograph we have this Aintree Coachline Alxander Dennis Enviro 200 registered VE58XKX here we see the vehicle heading up Frodsham Street, Chester while operating a City-Rail-Link Service to Chester City Centre, This vehicle has recently arrived into the fleet from Jim Stones of Leigh. This vehicle was new to Stones, Leigh in November 2008 and registered M1BUS.

'On the road there was nothing untoward about the Eventer's behaviour, no unwanted wind noise and no diminution of the XJ-S's unquestionable performance. Unlike so many estate car conversions over the years, the Eventer looks as though it has been conceived as a single, unified design, not as an afterthought...' – Motor Sport.
Conceived as a luxurious and long-legged Grand Routier, the XJ-S, though by no means a small car, afforded precious little in terms of interior space: two adults and an overnight bag being about the limit if its comfortable capacity. In the absence of a factory 'estate' it was left to the Hastings-based engineering company and coachbuilder Lynx to exploit the model's full potential. Renowned for their re-creations of the C- and D-Type Jaguar sports-racers, Lynx had every reason to be confident that such a market existed, given the success of the 'sports estate' concept in the form of the Reliant Scimitar GTE and Lancia Beta HPE. Each Eventer would be hand built to individual customer order.
In reconfiguring the XJ-S, Lynx extended the roof, moved the rear seats back, repositioned the fuel tank, and added a tailgate, thus providing increased passenger leg room and an impressive claimed 23.75cu ft of load space with the seats up, almost 42cu ft with them folded flat. Lynx's modifications not only addressed the issue of the XJ-S's cramped rear seating, but also greatly improved the standard car's poor rearward visibility. Lynx's conversion added £6,950+VAT to the £21,000 list price, making Eventer ownership the privilege of a wealthy few. Even today there are few cars that combine near-silent 155mph performance with the luggage capacity of a family estate.
Number '20' of the estimated 67 Eventers produced, this V12-engined example was first registered 'A6 BEB' and owned originally by a Mr David Barnes of Kent, who kept it until 2009 when the car was sold to the immediately preceding owner. At time of acquisition the recorded mileage total was 60,392, to which the last owner added a further 11,500-or-so over the course of the next six years, making the total 72,000 miles. Never accident damaged, the car has been restored twice, in 1999 and again in 2010, the exterior colour being changed from brown to black at the latter date. Every Eventer is different, and this one comes with a copy of the full factory file, including all production details and correspondence with the client, as well as copy of the original invoices for the estate conversion.
The car has recently been converted from right to left-hand drive using a correct period donor car by CKL Developments of Battle, East Sussex, whose founder and Technical Director, Chris Keith-Lucas, was co-founder and Managing Director at Lynx. CKL have also carried out extensive remedial works; areas receiving attention included the rear suspension, rear brakes, fuel injectors, and exhaust system, the latter being replaced in its entirety. CKL's detailed invoice for £14,191 (approximately €16,740) is on file. 'The perfect blend of pace with space', the car also comes with sundry bills relating to the 1990s restoration; Belgian registration papers; original Jaguar manuals; and an old-style UK logbook and V5 registration document. The perfect car for a picnic at the Chantilly Concours d'Elégance!
