NO!!! You go first!!!
I went first the last time!!
You get the head and I'll get the tail!!
Is that a deal????
I don't think so!!!
At least I figure the conversation would go like that with two Cormorants trying to figure out which one is going to be the first one to attack the little lizard and subdue him!! I don't think that they ever reached an agreement!! Taken on Horsepen bayou with Big Boy (aka Fluffy) holding station and he doesn't seem to be concerned by his impending doom!! I wasn't about to get involved!!

Coming straight from the preserved Mainline decker, here’s the modern day incarnation of the name, used for the corridor between Doncaster and Sheffield. After being thwarted about half a dozen times by buses in other liveries showing up on the X3, the final arrival I was able to see before catching the train home provided me with what I’d been waiting for all day.
Like Sheffield’s blue and Doncaster’s red it follows the same ‘South Yorkshire Urban’ pattern with the positions of colour blocks and stripes, but in this striking yellow with two shades of red, and a bunch of diagonal lines. In the last upload I said I liked Doncaster red more than Sheffield blue, but actually I’d have to say THIS is my favourite First South Yorkshire livery. In 2021 I briefly caught one of these Mainline Gemini 2s on video and since then I’ve been itching to get a proper photo of one.
The two things that seemed a shame were the lack of Mainline branded buses on the Mainline routes, and that all the X3s I saw were mainly carrying fresh air. Maybe the main stop for Sheffield is not the interchange so it gets busier as it goes out of the city, but since they went to the trouble of providing branded buses with high backed seats operating under a recognisable name it’s disappointing that they then went and stuck regular buses on the route instead. You know it’s meant to be some kind of premier service when one of the upper deck seating rows has been turned to face backwards!
36276 is pictured turning from Pond Street into Sheffield Interchange on 31.5.24. Its main fleet numbers are positioned on the glass and I think these ran in base red/yellow without branding initially, which might have something to do with it. I’m pleased to have finally got a photo of this livery after several years, and am not looking forward to the 2024 purple/grey livery wiping it out.

My first secret post.
I was inspired by all of the people in the Post Secret group who relentlessly expressed their emotions, whether it be on the surface or extremely deep...
It's no secret that I'm a large woman. It hasn't hindered my success as far as I know however, I truly believe that I could be happier without all of this weight. I'm trying to get down to the bottom of why I choose to live this way. For the past 4 months, weight loss has been on my brain more than ever. I feel like it's time. It has to be.
oh yeah.... that's supposed to be a slice of pizza!

Likely to be withdrawn in the very near future because of the DDA deadline and the Streetdecks entering service in Wells from 23/11/15.
First Glasgow E200mmc, YW68OWK (44688), branded for the 254 seen in Overtown Depot ready for the 240 to Buchanan Bus Stn.
There's some decent length routes round these parts, and the 349 is one of the longer ones, clocking in at two hours from Tenby to Haverfordwest with the town of Pembroke sitting half way between both.
44616 passes underneath Pembroke Castle with a 349 to Haverfordwest via Pembroke Dock, Neyland and Johnston.
