Another session on my local M3 bridge on the morning of Saturday 6th September 2025. In 4 hours, a total of 90 coaches passed me heading towards London (the light isn't right to snap southbound stuff) with the peak flow being between 09:00-11:00. There were 5 cruise ships that docked in Southampton early that morning which will have boosted the number of coaches.

Highlights from this visit include a Neoplan Tourliner in the Wheelers Travel trial livery; a brand new Tomorrows Travel ADL E400 MMC; a rather nice Southgate & Finchley Tourismo; the regular Newbury & District ADL E400 MMC; an Austrian-registered Beat the Street Van Hool; and a 2009 Volvo B12BT / Plaxton Panther 71-seater of Desi Coaches, Elstree. Busy coach days are just starting to fade now.

My last trip of 2024, traveled around 1600+ km to explore the Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR) but ended up having a wonderful time with buses from TNSTC, SETC & KSRTC altogether while the trains remained stable like this even after getting CNF Tatkal a day before.

The postcard from the green valley of Coonoor (ONR), where the railway architecture & machineries like Metre Guage Tracks, X Class Steam & YDM Locomotives, Arch Building of Bricks, Steam Loco Shed, Semaphore Signals and the open sky without catenary mess still offering the glimpse of colonial past. 😀
