Metroline LT14 (LTZ1014) & VWH2107 (LK15CXA) arrive at Northwick Park Hospital on the Metropolitan line rail replacement service ML1 (Rayners Lane to Stonebridge Park).
Serving Northwick Park station was deemed unsuitable by TfL so the rail replacement route stops instead at Kenton and Northwick Park Hospital instead.

MTA Metro-North's West Of Hudson equipment is soon slated for replacement. I was told that come January, the MTA will release plans for their new fleet to replace the aging EMD locomotives. Operated and maintained by New Jersey Transit, these old rebuilt diesel locomotives are nearing their life expectancy of over 40/50 years. Pictured here is MNCW # 4901 pushing an eastbound through Tuxedo, New York.

NS 9855 on 69N passes NS 4773 on 92Z at Lake View. The new old dash 9s are becoming fewer as the days go on. 92Z would have sister pair 4773 and 4772.
A surprise vehicle on rail replacement between Epsom and Clapham Junction today, 2nd February, 2020. Volvo B10M-62 Van Hool Alizee N175 LHU was new to Tappins and was running in Norfolk for Jonathan Joplin until just two weeks ago. It is now operating for Candy Coaches.
Rail replacement on the West Somerset Railway between Minehead and Dunster on 15th September 2021 with former Stockport Leyland Titan PD2/40 HJA 965E from the Crosville Vintage fleet.
The first job for Omega Buses is a Metro Replacement run. There have been delays in the firms' birth, and Omega are still operating in Smith's yard, and do not have any services yet. High winds have caused problems on the metro and local firms are covering.
Omega are hoping to have their full fleet of 10 vehicles painted and acquire services by the end of January/start of February. At this moment in time, neither Smith's nor Omega are buying new vehicles, but the plan is to keep Omega as a smaller, family run type firm, with a maximum of 10 buses in the fleet, and any further expansion will occur in the Smith's side of the fleet.
Due to the failure of a Class 90, 321363 and 321306 were drafted in to work 1P49 to London Liverpool Street.
We're at Robbins on Metra's Rock Island District. A close look reveals that new hardware is in place to displace the dated Rock Island searchlight signals. This was May 30, 2020. Dunno when the cut-over will take place (or has). I hope never...but that is not realistic. Pentax 67 on Fuji Astia 100.
Enviro400s from Go Coach were on loan to Abellio in April 2022 to cover various rail replacements. 9515 was one such example seen arriving at Hatton Cross Station heading for Acton Town on Piccadilly Line Replacement
It's been a bit snowy in Manchester today. Luckily the council have put on a replacement bus service.
It was a busy day of rail replacement buses passing through Staines-upon-Thames on Saturday 27/02/2021 with 20 departures an hour heading for Hounslow, Windsor & Eton, Weybridge and Ascot.
There were 17 operators out and about which between them managed to put on a show of 37 buses to keep me busy! And it was lovely and sunny too!!
Tying down where my first nightjar would drop her replacement clutch proved far from easy. In fact, I really struggled. It was only a bit of inspired thinking that lead me to her. I realised an area that I hadn't given my full focus had been next to a heavily walked path. Subconsciously, it's because in the back of your mind, it's the last place you want the bird to utilise. And so it proved to be that she was just thirty yards off the path. Two clear side on views were available and over the next ten days, bless her, she never moved an inch. Every day was the same shot. It was all academic as I knew it was going to end badly yet again for this bird. Every day two separate dog walkers, each with four springers would walk the path at different times of day and the dogs would go off piste. I saw her on two occasions flushed by a rampaging dog. No springer on flushing a bird in the same area twice would not after that point deliberately not go looking for it. It may have been the work of one individual but there is every chance that all of the dogs contributed in some way. She endured two days of relentless rain as later photos will show but with less than four days to hatching I found the eggs intact but scattered over the area. In some part, better that I witnessed that, rather than chicks. Very sad but I knew it was always going to happen.
My rewards this year photographically and video wise with the jars have fallen hopelessly short in terms of the time and effort that I've put in. I'm in no doubt about that. But to have seven weeks spent in the company of such amazing birds has been reward itself.
The Bank Holidays over Christmas 2021 saw a large rail replacement bus operation covering services between Farnborough, Woking, Weybridge, Aldershot, Guildford and Basingstoke. As a result, a large number of vehicles were out and about and I snapped a few in Farnborough, Guildford and Woking.
The rather inclement weather had me pondering whether or not to venture out to Basingstoke today (05/01/2025) but in the end curiosity won again! A good few captures here for you to enjoy.

Four pics from yesterday with A70 "Nico" taking a break from grain work and being rostered to work the 9083/9086 Bendigo workshops transfers accompanied by P12 hauling a few spoil flats and a couple of grain hoppers.
Of note was the addition of S317 "Jenny Molloy" in Bendigo for the short move out to the workshops, the S having been rubbed down and sporting some replacement bodyside panels ahead of an upcoming repaint. Some of the panels still wear the old Australian National livery having been commandeered from the long-stored GM12, making for a rather patchwork appearance on the S.

Doing a little catching up with photos while waiting for the washing machine to finish before heading into work.
Remember I had the dress issue the one that ripped while I was dancing! well this is what I changed into. I always take a spare just in case something untoward to happen, something like your dress falling apart lol.
This was taken when I got home at the end of the evening hence the shinny makeup and dodgy hair

Title mentions how Govia are just falling apart....especially Thameslink
Well, the long anticipated "Woking Weekender" finally arrived and delivered a magnificent array of vehicles operating rail replacement services out to Weybridge, Guildford, Aldershot and Basingstoke throughout both days. No less than 34 different operators provided in excess of 70 buses, coaches and minibuses across both days including three 75-plates. And Burrows Coaches had "both" their East Lancs Darts out - EDIT - STOP PRESS! On Saturday it was LK55ADX and on Sunday it was J8UFX - first with the news!!
Now then, Woking is not the photographer's friend at this time of year due to high-rise office blocks surrounding the station area. Saturday started wet, eased off but remained rather gloomy all day, and Sunday was almost a write-off with clear blue skies and low sun. The one sunny spot we found came with a time limit as a ruddy great big lamppost shadow edged its way into shot therefore limiting use of that corner. All in all though, it proved to be a belter!! Maybe have it in the Spring next time please Network Rail?
