This is the 2014 replacement of the Black Actros for Erebus i caught back in 2013 and posted earlier.
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?
I walked along the beach from Littlehampton to Bognor this afternoon 7th May, 2021. The footbridge over the Arun is currently closed so I had a ride on the bus replacement service. Compass Bus provided YX67 VGL, one of several Enviro 200s currently on hire from Mistral to cover extra COVID services. This example had previously operated for White Bus Service,
The LSRC's predecessor Detroit & Mackinac was historically home to a fleet of Alco diesels. The LSRC carried on that tradition into the 2000s until the fleet (minus the 469) was scrapped in 2011. All that remains of the once proud Alco fleet are the trucks in the foreground. Now, the 4300 series GP40-3 Alco killers sit stored, having proved themselves unreliable, alongside the Saginaw roundhouse, much like the retired Alco fleet did.

Continuing the Rail Replacement theme, Lloyds Coaches of Machynlleth returned to providing the non-stop Cardiff to Bridgend service in place of Arriva Trains Wales and GWR services on 2nd January 2017, in the same way that the service was provided on 27th and 28th December 2016.
The company again provided two of the Alexander Dennis Enviro400-bodied Scanias that had been new to GHA Coaches for "Traws Cymru" Service T3 (Wrexham-Llangollen-Corwen-Bala-Dolgellau-Barmouth), and which Lloyds recently acquired from Ensignbus to continue the contract until a new lon-term contract is awarded.
SN15 ETD is captured at speed on the A4061 in Litchard heading for Bridgend, where she would connect with the onward GWR service to Swansea.
Liking these replacements for the 2012-style pet circle signs, and also the new, white lettering on gray background, smaller signage on the shelving. That particular part of the décor (the smaller signs) may very well be making it's first appearance at any Kroger store thus far, but don't quote me on that! While it does look a little bit like the Dollar General style currently being used for promotional signage by Kroger, it's a lot nicer looking with that thinner font, and a more simplistic look overall. The dark gray is likely Kroger's answer to the black and white décor onslaught that's suddenly all over the place, but thankfully the signage background isn't solid black like a large majority of all the other Walmart copy-cats out there!

An unusual working for this branch, a single deck on the Mill Hill Broadway - St Pancras replacement service. It is usually allocated to coaches and Scania Omnicitys. This is an ADL Enviro 200 EV provided by Go Ahead..

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!!
Another picture taken at the South Bank depot of Teesside Municipal Transport on 3 April 1971. This is Daimler Fleetline L503, one of a batch bought to replace the last of the trolleybuses, some of which can be seen dumped in the background.
Scanned from a Kodachrome slide taken by the late Charles Dean, now in my collection.
Over to Basingstoke today (Sun 04/05/2025) for a look at the rail replacements heading to Andover, Reading, Winchester and Woking. Around 15 departures an hour and a 3 hour turn around meant 45 different vehicles were seen.

Portsmouth & Southsea today (09/02/2025) to watch the rail replacement movements. Over 20 buses and coaches were utilised to run services between Portsmouth Harbour and Fareham (GWR), Havant (SWR) and Barnham (Southern). A lot of variety out today!

I stayed home from school today.
I didn't really fall asleep last night until about 4:00am...
So I slept in, then read more of To Kill a Mocking Bird instead.
Enjoy the photo.

Huge thanks to my brother, Paul Durushia, for letting me use his buffalo skull.
67801 showing "Abellio Rail Replacement" in the display although 69123 was showing "Scotrail Rail Replacement" and 62149 just "Not in service".
Don't recognise the driver, assume this one of the many drafted in from elsewhere in First.
A line side fire on the Ffestiniog Railway meant a replacement bus was found, Not quite what I was expecting to be used with RMC1490 taking us from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog (1/5/17)

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?
