Just in case you're starting to think I only take buses from before I was born something more modern! Although in my eyes already starting to look a bit of a modern classic, the Plaxton President, represented here by Rail River Link's Volvo B7TL, Y808TGH, snapped out in some of Devon's classic rolling countryside at Longcombe, bound for Paignton on route 100. The route is currently usually being run by the company's open top Bristol VR, UWV614S, can't think where it could have been........ ;-)

This scene is viewed from the deck of the M5 Avonmouth Bridge in Bristol. GBRf Class 66 loco no. 66725 'Sunderland' heads 6B58, the Colnbrook Lafarge (1045 hrs) to Portbury Auto Terminal working, on the afternoon of Tuesday 02 March 2021.

This is my first Flickr posting of 2021. Spring is just around the corner!

Just passing time at Sebastian's Millennium Clock-tower; waiting for clear skies and the Perseids.
" If I should say one thing about the journey to liberate the surrounding areas of Elabor, it would be one thing: hard.
Although, one the way there we passed many exciting sites, the waterfalls of Aragorb, the field of the flaming dragon, and our latest encounter, the Summer home of the great Louie De Bricka. "
Really liking the way this came out, thanks for all who gave me feedback on WIPS.
so many lost recently. Cy Twombly's recent death did not have the tragedy of either Norway or Amy W, but sad to see the passing of a great name in modern painting (who i confess i only really came to appreciate quite recently).
The warmer months have arrived and so too the water dragons have emerged from wherever they’ve been hiding over the winter months.
One of Chomutov's well turned out 749s, No. 749 039 heading train R441, the 06.43 Cheb - Zilina on 21 May 2004.
Gloucester Station on a sunny Saturday afternoon in late May. DRS's 66430 works 4V38 from Daventry Drs (Tesco) to Wentloog (Freightliners) passed a late running TfW lash-up of 153323 & 153910 working 2G64, the 1410 Cardiff Central to Cheltenham Spa.
I can be quite normal on occasion. No over the top claims, statements or remarks and nothing bordering on the depressing.
Just a little bit of nice with a touch of quiet. Which, to be honest, is what I'm really like.
But shhhh don't tell anyone I did this :o)

2,120 of these USATC S160 class 2.8.0s were built by ALCO, Baldwin and Lima for use in Europe, Aisa, Africa and elsewhere during and just after WW2. 1,200 of these passed through the UK, some being used for a period by the 'Big Four' whilst here.
1888 was built by Lima (8119/43) and is seen here working for the LNER at March North Junction on 24 July 1943. The single barrier wagon seems a little inadequate for such a long line of tankers, unless they are empties.
Scanned from a 6x6cm size negative in my collection.
St Michael's Churchyard lies adjacent to a busy mainline where trains rush by and briefly disturb the hush of this rural churchyard. It also lies at the foot of the famous Lickey Incline which is the steepest sustained mainline railway incline in the UK having a gradient of of 1 in 37.7 (2.65% or 26.5‰ or 1.52°) for a continuous distance of 2 miles (3.2km)
