Some of the Hot College Guys at my apartment pool during the first week back to school. More to come...
Guy Arab 6219TF was new to Lancashire United as 135, It was the last traditional rear entrance / open platform bus to be delivered to the company, has now entered preservation once more.
It had latterly been working for Yorkshire Heritage Bus Co (Blackman), but was offered for sale when the firm ceased trading.
It is now with the Wigan Transport Trust and awaits a repaint back into red.
An interesting character here. Living his life on a narrowboat. Quietly spoken, polite conversation. In a friendly way, you knew when to thank him for his time and move along with a smile & memory of that brief moment.

Taken with my new camera Fujifilm Instax SQ6 and I'm looking forward to uploading more images.
'GUY Special' - the Puppy-Bus. Who could fail to warm to this delightful design? This must rank as the fore-runner of the Mercedes mini-bus, that most potent agent of de-regulation. This is the only London Transport design that never ran in service in the streets of London. Go on, tell me I'm wrong!
In the early 1950's there was an increasing need for a middle-sized vehicle which was at home in the more rural parts of London's Country. What was novel was that LT specified a vehicle on a standard chassis (the Guy Vixen) with a body by Eastern Coach Works, incorporating 'standard production units' and 'a balanced alligator bonnet'. The standard LT radiator filler cap was hidden beneath the hinged manufacturer's emblem. Thank goodness there was more in common with the RF than just the seats and interior lighting. Eighty-four of these delightful machines were built, and some of the first were delivered to Hitchin garage (HN) to replace the tiny, elderly Leyland Cubs on local route 383. Others reached Hitchin from Hertford on the deeply rural 386 and 329 routes.
The last examples of the GS class (33 and 42) were withdrawn from public service on 30th March 1972. It also spelled the end of two more traditions, as the village of Loudwater never saw another service bus and the village was the very last outstation operated by LT (LCBS at the end). Until his retirement in 1971, driver Harry Cross had run the 336A service to Rickmansworth. The day's takings were paid in at Rickmansworth LT station, and once a week he would take his vehicle to Garston Garage for fuel and oil, and to collect his wage packet. The vehicle ran from the garage for the remaining few months.
I've had this photo sitting around for over a year now, and I feel it's just too epic not to upload :) Guy Fawkes Night in Lewes 2008.
Had an amazing weekend! Got my fix of LA and a lot of things I needed to do out of the way -- danced the night away and then brunched at the beach with my boy. It was the most beautiful day! 8-) I had some very yummy cinnamon apple pancakes. Mmmmm! Last night we watched Death and a Funeral for the first time and it made me miss England so much! You just don't get that kind of humor in the states.
Now I'm back to working away. Less than two weeks to Costa Rica -- I cannot waaaaiit!!!
Have a fabulous week!! :D
