Functioning infrastructure seems to be slipping further and further down the list of priorities these days. Replacement is increasingly becoming the norm in a very often dysfunctional city. People try to adapt.

Reading Buses "Emerald" Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC on Railway Replacement: Acton Town to Shepherds Bus via Hammersmith
New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) work trains are seen assisting with track replacement between W 8th Street and Ocean Parkway Stations on the BMT Brighton Line. Tracks are removed and installed in panels, with one of the cranes seen here removing the old panels from the structure and the other lifting new ones onto the structure. The trains also include crane cars, which are used to move the track panels from the crane pick area to the installation site and vice versa.
It was back to Basingstoke today (12/01/2025) for another look at the rail replacement operation with an impressive 13 departures an hour. A bit of a Barnes-fest certainly added brightness to an otherwise grey day.
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.

The weekend of the 11th and 12th June once again sees Greater Anglia rail services suspended between Cheshunt and Hertford East/Stansted Airport, with replacement road transport provided.
The local traffic situation is also complicated by a partial closure of the Birchanger Green Roundabout overbridges at Junction 8 of the M11 motorway, sending cars on a lengthy or awkward diversionary routings.

It's been fun having something to watch while eating lunch. Don't worry the new building behind wasn't tagged. I virtually tagged it in my sketchbook.
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.

Metroline VMH2433 (LK18AFA) & BDE2613 (LJ19CTX) pass on Goodman's Yard at Tower Gateway on the DLR Rail Replacement service between Tower Gateway & Canning Town.
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.
Sorry for my absence, I have not been able to get around much to take photos due to a problem knee. I need a replacement on both of them at some stage soon, so walking is out of the question at the moment and I can't go to the park I love to see the gorgeous autumn colours! :-( An exercise bike is what I'm using instead!
I'll try to catch up with your wonderful streams soon x
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.
Having arrived with 6F96 from Tunstead Sidings, 66763 Severn Valley Railway slowly draws through the unloading terminal at the Tarmac plant in the old Washwood Heath yard.
Having initially thought this flow was for the plant, having paid closer attention to it today it seems as though it is for HS2, as once the stone was unloaded from the hoppers, it was taken by the conveyor belt and into the building where it was dumped before being loaded into trucks and taken towards Birmingham. This used to occur on the right in RMC after it was closed, making use of the large area out the back where the sleepers were once stored. Since that flow stopped, the track has been ripped up and more trains began to run into Small Heath instead. Now though, Washwood Heath has had its path returned, this time unloading on the other side of the line.
Metrolink replacement to Ashton today saw an opportunity for some photos.

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.
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.
It was down the A3 to Portsmouth & Southsea Station for some rail replacement action today (14/02/2026) with services running 3 times per hour from Portsmouth Harbour to both Barnham (Southern) and Petersfield (SWR) and back again.
As with my last visit here, the variety of bus liveries seen today was excellent with around 12 operators noted in the 3 hours we were present. Top picks today were Compass Travel's pair of 75-plate ADL E400 MMCs; 4 coaches from the BM/Mercian/Linburg fleets; and further E400 MMCs from Brighton & Hove, Tomorrows Travel, Wheelers Travel and Xelabus.
Another good morning and this time in some very rare sunshine!!
Daylight savings is in full swing as the 17:11 service from Southern Cross approaches Kilmore East as 8327.

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!
