The relief driver of 4M25 Mossend to Daventry about to take over the seat for the journey to Northamptonshire.
I made a pilgrimage to the spot under the tracks discovered by Alfie. While I didn't get any particulary good shots (like this) of people on the far side of the street a taxi did stop briefly in front of me waiting for the traffic light to turn and I snapped away. The driver's face is a little blurry due to the reflections in the window but still good enough and I particularly liked the light on the passenger's face as he played with his Crackberry.

Every bus driver knows the scenario: you close the doors, turn on your direction indicator, release the handbrake - and then someone comes bounding up to the door, pleading to be allowed on board. That did not faze this Eastern Counties driver, who immediately stopped and let this anxious lady on board. (I had just photographed the stationary bus, so witnessed the mini-drama unfold.)
The bus and its backstory are interesting too. I had long assumed the vehicle to be a commonplace Dennis Dart with Plaxton Pointer bodywork. Not so! It in fact is the less common Volvo riposte to the ultra-successful Dennis middle weight, the B6. Carrying fleet number 485, M588ANG had not been ordered by Eastern Counties (at the time part of GRT Holdings), but by Mainline, the privatised Sheffield operator and was one of a batch that was all set to launch a competing Mainline Ipswich service. Carrying red and yellow Mainline livery, it originally carried the registration M412TET. In the event, Eastern Counties reached an agreement with Mainline, acquiring the operating licences, and absorbing the Volvo B6s into its own fleet.
In its final years in the ownership of First Eastern Counties and carrying the insipid ‘Barbie 2’ livery, M588ANG is recorded as being tax-expired after 4/07.
Of further note is The Cricketers pub in the background, a notable landmark in the Ipswich town centre. It is one of several ‘Tolly Folly’ pubs dating from the 1930s, built by local brewer Tolly Cobbold in a pastiche Jacobean style that was based on Helmingham Hall, the ancestral seat of the Tollemache family. The Cricketers is now a Wetherspoon outlet.

The bus driver finally arrives.. :D I bought him from a Thai seller. Glad he arrived safely before the work from home order.
Yes, the government has issued a work from home order for all companies. :( Starting today until further notice. So, here I am taking photos of minifigs rather than working. Haha! Still have a lot of pending work to be done, but I really have no mood to work... :((
Seen on the occasion of the Hants & Dorset Running Day at Poole in April 1989 was Wilts & Dorset driver training bus Bristol Lodekka FLF6G / ECW 9204 EMR294D.
Previously a Hants & Dorset bus, it was one of a few of the EMR-D batch to see out their lives as driver trainers, namely 288 (9201), 292 (9203), 294 (9204), 295 (9206) and 296 (9205).

AT THIS POINT I'm now LESS than 18 Metres - 62 Feet and at that point YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED
JUST AS YOU BEGIN TO MOVE BACKWARDS I AM LESS THAN 9 Metres - 28 Feet from you colliding with me. You were on the other side of the road at this point MY SIDE IS CLEAR THEN YOU IMPEDE ME WITH YOUR MALICIOUS AND INCONSIDERATE ACTION. (Don't let you insurer see this - IT will increase your liability)
I'm DOING TWENTY MILE's PER HOUR that's 20 MPH
OH AND FOR THE RECORD I DON'T WEAR GLASSES BECAUSE I DON'T NEED THEM (He claims Mr Ray Charles & Mr Stevie Wonder can see better than me!!!!!)
This is a public road where there can be no reasonable expectation of privacy and anyone expecting privacy is therefore being wholly un-reasonable

Hello, I would appreciate it if you could remove the video you posted in which I am doing a u turn, it was a mistake, I didn't judge how far you were from me. People make mistakes; I have a clean licence and have been driving for 12 years. I apologise for any inconvenience caused. It's (I’VE EDITED HIS NAME & REGISTRATION HERE SO HE CAN’T COMPLAIN ABOUT HIMSELF EXPOSING HIS OWN PRIVACY) LR** HDX. Thank you.

Pukka Driver to Mr T you were quite brazen and bullish at the time of the incident with un-kind words. Since then you have made comment that I somehow perpetrated your mistake with aspersions that it was I at fault. Furthermore you are not the only ‘taxi’ driver who has been grossly inconsiderate to me and the public at large and just like all of them you resort to verbal abuse in defence of your WRONGDOING (mistake). Not content with this you further malign Mr Ray Charles and Mr Stevie Wonder and compare their blindness to me. How dare you besmirch those who unlike you and I do not have the privilege and good fortune of sight.
You made absolutely no attempt to judge my distance from you. I do not consider your manoeuvre to have been anything other than utter selfishness and gross inconsideration to me or anyone else who might find themselves in a similar situation. Your problem sir is that your erratic driving has been exposed and you do not like that, well DON’T drive like that then. I’ve held a licence for far much longer than twelve years and it is clean and I have never driven with such inconsideration towards another road user ever. So no sir I will not remove the video
He then complained about this, the current one and you 'can't' see anything, BUT it’s had more views of nothing than the original had views of something. How ironic is that?
Nice Greek man, Mr Lempesis, running a 1999 FH16 520 to the UK in 2016.
Truck is ex Kern Kuhltransporte Austria.
We arrived at Mgahinga National Park that afternoon. In the driveway of the place we stayed was an amazing line of ants, which were there for the next two days, crossing the driveway and not seeming to be fazed by the occasional car running them over.
..............and a sad fact of driving these days..!
I thought about this for some time, and finally decided to do it - - - digitally, of course !!

Park Royal bodied Atlantean 7921 had not long left the service fleet when photographed here on Pottery Road, Wigan on driver tuition duties. It had been based at Manchesters Queens Road depot but had migrated to the training centre at Atherton where it bolsted the training fleet to cope with the extra number of drivers that were being recruted at the time.It would later receive a subtle revised training livery, indeed the only bus to be so treated under GM Buses north.
