Here it is seen on New Year's Day 2020 participating in the Route 3 and 251 running day, where it completed a full rounder from Chelmsford to Southend and back in the morning.
Great collection of one of our customers! He explained to me that these building instructions really helped him to build this collection. We love seeing these images, so if you have any to share them with us, please let us know! Thanks!
This is a found slide in a Gepe mount showing a Dennis bus in Fleet Street during the Lord Mayor’s Show. This is Saturday 10th November 1984 and the bus is being used to transport the Bob Kerr Whoopee Band in the procession, they are just about to pass Ye Olde Cock Tavern. The bus has an interesting history, dating from 1925, it was a bus used by the Dominion Omnibus Company, one of the pirate bus companies which operated in the 1920s and early 1930s. The link is to a very detailed history of the bus, it now resides at the Cobham Bus Museum. www.londonbusmuseum.com/museum-exhibits/double-deck-buses.... The bus is advertising the following year’s City of London Festival which was held between 7th and 20th July 1985, the festival had been held annually since 1980 and was mostly a classical music festival. The City of London Corporation ended the festival after it failed to obtain further sponsorship in 2016. The following link is to a you tube video showing the Bob Kerr Whoopee Band in 1990, they are still playing today which may be a good or bad thing depending on your taste in music.

Much travelled was Volvo WSV489. This 1982 11-metre Volvo B58 with Duple body started life in Scotland, first with Clyde Coast, Saltcoats then even further north with Newtons, Dingwall. It made the move south in 1986, already on its third registration, before gaining this dateless plate (its fourth mark).
I always thought 489 was a bit of an odd buy for Fleet Coaches. A Dominant IV Express, it had bus grant doors which clattered and banged over poor road surfaces. It always seemed a bit, well... basic for a coach bought at a time when the firm was generally going for better-spec 12-metre coaches. Nonetheless, it went like the clappers and the huge air horns on the roof were useful for dealing with the odd errant motorist or cyclist.
Here it sits in the yard which tended to accommodate the older members of the fleet. Bedford YMT / Duple YLC696S and YRT / Plaxton RBY46L are tucked alongside.. The whitewashed building behind was the workshop.
489 stayed quite a long time with the fleet, latterly just doing schools contracts. It was disposed of to Smith, High Wycombe in 1998, and I last heard of it in Edmonton, North London, around 2006.

The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen
The fenland parish of Fleet sits in the south Lincolnshire fens just off the busy A17 trunk road and about 8 miles east of the market town of Spalding. At nearly 12 miles long but only 2 miles at it's widest, the settlement filtered northwards as land was reclaimed from this former tidal inlet. Once surpassing Spalding in population and wealth, Fleet was the focus of Templar activities in medieval times with a yearly fair and vigorous market for centuries.
The Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. The 120 feet church tower with spire is like many medieval fenland churches and is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The exterior is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.

Ships of the Royal Canadian Navy docked at the Lonsdale Quay for the Navy's Fleet Weekend. The ships docked were HMCS Winnipeg, HMCS Vancouver, HMCS Brandon, and HMCS Edmonton as well as three Orca class patrol boats.
After 25 years at its present location, Aldershot Bus Station will close for good at the end of this week. To mark this occasion, the opportunity was taken today (03/05/2023) to recreate a scene that would have occurred around 10 years ago. When Stagecoach took over Fleet Buzz in 2011 they kept the identity for 3 years and repainted a number of their own buses into the distinctive yellow and black livery. One such bus was AE51VFV, now lovingly restored by James Bell. It is seen here in the bus station as it would have been seen on the Route 72 to Reading. Some town shots conclude this afternoon jolly.

Fleet Foxes 今年大放異彩!! 就像12月份的Mojo雜誌所說: "Twelve months ago Fleet Foxes were nobodies from nowhere." 但這支西雅圖樂隊已經橫掃歐美樂評高價讚賞.西低封面插畫與音樂同樣優美!!

Action Fleet has the best scale for building a fleet of TIEs.
Most MoD contractors' coaches operate anonymously but back in 2008 several were operating with legal lettering, O discs and fleetnames for Fleet Support Limited. One such coach was BX53 NFY, seen on 22nd July, 2008. This Dennis Javelin Plaxton Profile would pass to "civilian" operator Marshalls of Leighton Buzzard in 2014.

Fleet Street is a major street in the City of London. It runs west to east from Temple Bar at the boundary with the City of Westminster to Ludgate Circus at the site of the London Wall and the River Fleet from which the street was named.
Having been an important through route since Roman times, businesses were established along the road during the Middle Ages. Senior clergy lived in Fleet Street during this period where there are several churches including Temple Church and St Bride's. Fleet Street became known for printing and publishing at the start of the 16th century and it became the dominant trade so that by the 20th century most British national newspapers operated from here. Much of the industry moved out in the 1980s after News International set up cheaper manufacturing premises in Wapping, but some former newspaper buildings are listed and have been preserved. The term Fleet Street remains a metonym for the British national press, and pubs on the street once frequented by journalists remain popular.
Fleet Street has a significant number of monuments and statues along its length, including the dragon at Temple Bar and memorials to a number of figures from the British press, such as Samuel Pepys and Lord Northcliffe. The street is mentioned in several works by Charles Dickens and is where the legendary fictitious murderous barber Sweeney Todd lived.
