Not a great picture of the train and it's wrap (and I'm sure you'll find better ones taken today from the many people who were out on the platforms eager to see it), but here it is at Neasden's North Dock, waiting to go southbound...
My return from annual leave was met with excitement when I was told that I would be taking a newly-wrapped train out for its first run with its new livery from CBS Outdoor UK. It ran empty from Neasden Depot to Aldgate, and then empty from Aldgate to Moorgate, where we then picked up some VIPs who were on the LU150 heritage run, running non-stop from Moorgate to King's Cross. The train entered passenger service at King's Cross, heading for Uxbridge. The train was re-numbered from T752 to T451 at Uxbridge. I drove the train between Aldgate and Harrow-on-the-Hill on its first trip northbound, travelling in the south cab with the other driver to begin with, prior to arriving at Aldgate.
Myself and another driver made our way to Neasden Depot to pick up the train. We had a bit of a panic in the shed road when we realised the shutters at either end of the shed were shut and thus we were locked in! A few phone calls and somebody came to save us and set us free. A shunt move not often performed then took place – the nature of the train being stabled in the sheds and unable to currently run southbound meant we took the train into North Dock, changing ends and then running the train southbound through Klondyke, before shunting onto the southbound mainline.
Because of the short turnaround time planned for the train at Aldgate, there were plans to "double-end" the train (have a driver in each cab) so that it was ready to go almost immediately after arriving, hence why the two of us were on the train. Whilst everything was pretty much plain sailing up to Aldgate, a slight confusion with the Police and some counter-terrorism unit meant the train was then delayed by them for a few minutes, despite the best made plans to double-end the train and me being ready to go on our northbound journey! Needless to say, the 300-or-so VIPs at Moorgate, who were ushered onto the train via the External Access Device on several sets of doors, held up the train anyway upon boarding, and then again at King's Cross. I'm not sure how many minutes were lost in the end on the northbound, but I doubt it mattered in the end. I just feel sorry for whoever was stuck behind me as we held up the road!
Many thanks and appreciation to all staff who helped to make today a success, and most importantly, safe.

Rod Hunt was commissioned to design a bus sculpture for Transport for London's Year of the Bus Sculpture Trail taking place in London from 20th October 2014 to early December. The launch event took place in London's Trafalgar Square on 17th October 2014. Rod's bus will be on display in Victoria Street, SW1 from October 20th for seven weeks.
Quote: “I found inspiration by looking at the Key Bus Routes in central London map & seeing that it almost looks like the map is spelling the word "Bus" in the route lines.”

----------
Up to 60 New Routemaster bus sculptures will be unveiled across London in October as part of celebrations to mark the Year of the Bus. The bus sculptures, which are 2.5m long, 1m high and 0.5m wide, will be painted and adorned by well-known and aspiring artists to showcase the vital role that London’s buses play in the life and economy of the city and the UK as a whole.
Londoners and visitors to the city will get the chance to discover the bus sculptures, which will be organised in clusters, on foot by following public art trails in five areas of the capital – three in central London and two in outer London.
276 was captured at the York Place terminus of the Edinburgh tramway in the city centre, ready to operate the Gyle Santa Express. 276 is in its new Hogmanay (this side of the vehicle) and Christmas vinyl wrap. For the Santa Express runs in conjunction with a local out of town shopping centre, the tram had been decorated inside for its young passengers. Note the antlers - which have also been spotted on another tram today - and Rudolph’s red nose on the front. The tram was named Rudolph at one end and Prancer at the other.
Maximum Whiteness :
This car has got to be one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE cars in the history of cars i've been in. Why? Because I'm connected to it. Back in 2014, I helped persuade my best friend (and now owner) that this car was the car for him. Either i'm an amazing salesman, or it didn't take much convincing because that same week we were on a flight to Miami to pickup this beast. Upgraded Turbos, intercooler, exhaust, external wastegates, the whole nine yards...except it was silver...and he HATES silver cars.
We drive the car back from Miami to Cincinnati in about a day, both just amazing by the raw power this car had. I loved this car, and immediately hated mine. This car was the reason I took my mild 996TT and still trying to make it wild.
We drove this car over 6,000 miles in a road rally charity (seen decalled in my photostream below) and on the way home chunked the motor. The car never started again, until Mike pulled the motor and after a grueling 9 months went through the process of building it up. Now she is back on the streets, and in order to make this car *COMPLETE* for him, he HAD to have the color changed.
Mike hooked up with Kevin from DreamWrapsUSA, a local and phenominal vinyl car wrapper who does amazing work. Matte white with gloss black accents was the only way to go for Mike, and faaaaaaaaaaaaaWAS HE RIGHT. The car has multiple sets of wheels for road / track purposes, so will probably be popping up in my feed a lot...plus it's the sexiest thing i've seen on 4 wheels.
Once the clutch is broken in, Mike will be back to the dyno to hopefully set the record at the local 'dreamcrusher' dyno hosted by Turn In Concepts. TiC, the shop who built the motor, is confident it will be the most powerful thing they've had ever...and we can't wait.

I was just walking by. It seems as though they trap pests and release them in the countryside, out of the city. They made a very pleasing website here: www.skedaddlewildlife.com/location/ottawa-wildlife-control/
