He was just one of the small band of hard working tyre fitters working for Dunlop at the Australian V8 Supercars Event in 2019.
Transporters loaded with tyres were in close proximity and the demand for replacement tyres was continuous.

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?

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.
The closure of Cardiff Central Station for major engineering work on 27th and 28th December 2016 saw major rail replacement operations in place.
The Treherbert, Aberdare and Merthyr Lines were replaced by buses between Pontypridd and Cardiff. These were provided by First West of England as a 15 vehicle operation, comprising 13 operational diagrams and two vehicles on stand-by at Cardiff Central. The company produced nine Alexander Dennis E40D MMCs, three Wright StreetDecks and three Wright Eclipse Gemini-bodied Volvo B9TLs.
Representing the E40D MMCs, brand new 33800, sporting a light blue front for Bristol City Services 48, 48A & 49, waits time at Taffs Well Station when heading for Cardiff on the second day of operations.
Instead of a class 91, 90039 was used on 1B86 from London Kings Cross to Newark Northgate, which was a nice surprise.
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.
Van Hool TD921 is seen here in Durham City operating Rail Replacement Services on behalf of London North Eastern Railway (LNER) between Newcastle and York due to Engineering Works at Durham Station.
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.
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.
I feel like all I do with regards to buses right now is go along the 35 trying to get buses soon to be withdrawn. Lothian have always put some of the older buses on the 35 of late for a reason that I do not know which I like but it does mean that I do have to think to try and get different shots. I know that this is not the best shot as the sun is facing the wrong way hence the wishy washy look but it is much better than my previous 319 shot. So here it is on Chambers Street bound for Ocean Terminal.

On Sunday 24th October 2021, a large rail replacement operation took place in the Basingstoke area affecting the services of SWR, GWR and Cross Country. This resulted in a nice variety of vehicles turning up throughout the day - in fact 37 different operators were noted supplying 53 different vehicles!
Replacement bus services ran out to Andover, Reading, Winchester and Woking.
Sunday 7th October saw Greater Anglia rail services suspended between Broxbourne and Stansted Airport until 1225, with a replacement bus service provided by Trustybus bridging the gap.

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
The kids went out and found this. Given the 8 days of over 90 temps I’m amazed that there were any available but the big box stores are getting ready for our tax free weekend in MA, so it was propitious. This is not the make and model they’d gone out in search of but it it’s gotta be better than Mr Leaky.
