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 3 day Bank Holiday weekend of the 30th April and the 1st/2nd May once more sees Greater Anglia rail services suspended between Waltham Cross and Stansted Airport, with replacement road transportation provided.

Thank you all for viewing, please check out my photos, collections and albums.
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?

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.
To make up for the repeat I just posted.

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.

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!!
Trying to find a replacement for my long straight style. This os a good one I think. Neither of these are cheap though 😢
Due to the failure of a Class 90, 321363 and 321306 were drafted in to work 1P49 to London Liverpool Street.
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!
Triptych of battered payphones constituting a last refuge for the doomed analog phone. Old Street underground station before the current mega reconstruction/renovation.
Safe from the ubiquitous mobile signal - or was.

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.

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.
My hybrid tea rose stopped blooming. This is the original rose it was grafted onto. Instead of a single pink blossom I get a bush full of these beauties. A welcome repacement.
CVS closed their old store which used to be a Longs Drugs and moved down the street to this brand new store next to a Fresh & Easy Market.
CVS stores used to be much smaller, until a few years ago. Then CVS started building bigger and taller stores. This new prototype towers much higher than older versions of this style of store.
