Snowshill Manor was the property of Winchcombe Abbey from 821 until 1539 when the Abbey was confiscated by King Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Between 1539 and 1919 it had a number of tenants and owners until it was purchased by Charles Paget Wade, an architect, artist-craftsman, collector, poet and heir to the family fortune. He restored the property, living in the small cottage in the garden and using the manor house as a home for his collection of objects. He gave the property and the contents of this collection to the National Trust in 1951. There are two aspects of Snowshill Manor: its garden and the manor house, which is now home to Wade's eclectic collection. The garden at Snowshill was laid out by Wade, in collaboration with Arts and Crafts movement architect, M. H. Baillie Scott, between 1920 and 1923 as a series of outside rooms seen as an extension to the house. Features include terraces and ponds. The manor house is a typical Cotswold house, made from local stone; the main part of the house dates from the 16th century. Today, the main attraction of the house is perhaps the display of Wade's collection. From 1900 until 1951, when he gave the Manor to the National Trust, Wade amassed an enormous and eclectic collection of objects reflecting his interest in craftsmanship. The objects in the collection include 26 suits of Japanese samurai armour dating from the 17th and 19th centuries; bicycles; toys; musical instruments and more. On 5 October 2003, the house was closed and its entire contents removed in order to effect a number of repairs. In particular, the electrical wiring needed updating, new fire, security and environmental monitoring systems were installed, and the existing lighting was improved. The house reopened on 25 March 2005.

I liked the idea of having a man as a scarecrow as in the tute, but I wanted the story to show how he got there...the real scarecrow having escaped his fate and gained his freedom by finding a human replacement....
Constructive criticism most gratefully received.

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?
There was certainly a good variety of vehicles running through Basingstoke on rail replacement duties today (Good Friday 2023). The sun made an appearance which was good to see as well!
LT776 LTZ1776 seen standing at Brook Green awaiting to work on PL1 towards Heathrow Airport Central Bus Station.
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.
On New Year's Day 2017, First West of England provided three new blue-fronted Alexander Dennis E40D MMCs for the Rail Replacement non-stop service between Cardiff Central and Bridgend in place of Arriva Trains Wales and GWR services.
Representing these, 33795 is captured in a wet Bridgend, turning from Derwen Road on to Boulevard de Villenave D'Ornon (the Inner By-Pass in old money) when setting off on another trip to Cardiff.
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.

Rail replacement buses at Five Ways station, Birmingham, in February 1986. The leading vehicle, Metrobus KJW 301W, was disposed of in 1991 to another operator - Stevensons. All info cribbed off various other Flickr sites as I know nothing about buses!
Metrolink replacement to Ashton today saw an opportunity for some photos.

Two GWR class 158's meet Stagecoach South West rail replacement vehicles at Crediton Station on Saturday 10th April 2021
Metrolink replacement to Ashton today saw an opportunity for some photos.
A quite empty Tyrers LX11CWM is seen in Droylsden leading a Stagecoach on the 216 which would have a healthy load. Well what would you expect, the 216 almost mirrors the Metrolink for most of the route into Ashton, the advantage of easier access on Metrolink for the wheel/Push chair has gone and you can pay by card or cash if you are so inclined.
The replacement bus pulls up quite some way from the Metrolink stop, can I pay by cash, no you need a Metrolink ticket from the station over there, will you wait while I get a ticket, no bye.

West Coast Brush Type 47 47826 is seen at Bolton Percy replacing the Semi to take The Railway Touring Company charter back to Ealing Broadway.
The Yorkshireman train had arrived behind retiring main line steam loco 60009 earlier in the day.
Finally, after ten years, we have the Gallardo's replacement. And it's about time, Lamborghini seemed to be out of ideas, considering their shitty Gallardo mk3.
Anyway, I think the Huracan looks great, and having seen it up close, I wonder how could people see it as a reduced Aventador, the two of them look quite different !

Kicking off 2026 was a trip to Basingstoke on Sunday 4th January to witness the rail replacement buses running to Andover, Farnborough, Reading, Winchester and Woking. With 11 departures every hour, something interesting was bound to turn up sooner or later. Being sufficiently west of London, Basingstoke is predominantly 'coach country' rather than say, east of Woking where it's almost all buses running the rail replacement services.
Today's delights were a pair VDL Futuras from Star Tours of Wembley, a JKT International Irizar, a pair of former Excelsior Plaxton Elites now sporting Damory branding, the Barnes '100 Years' coach which has now been repainted into full fleet livery, and a pair of Mayflower Scania deckers. It was good to see the Mayflower pair back on the road again after the devastating vandal attack that crippled the fleet back in November 2025.
In total, 36 buses and coaches from 20 different operators passed our cameras in our 3 hour visit with Aldermaston Coach Lines and Barnes providing 5 each.
