Hyde Road allocated MCW Metrobus, 5045 seen outside Manchester Piccadilly railway station on rail replacement duties.
Also engaged on Rail Replacement duties for Arriva Trains Wales is this Plaxton Paramount 3200 III-bodied Volvo B10M owned by Mainline of Gilfach Goch.
She was new to Excelsior of Bournemouth in 1990 as G506 EFX and subsequently operated in the Thamesdown fleet. Mainline has had her for 14 years and nowadays she is usually to be found operating school contracts. The current registration mark is her fourth.
In this mid January 2016 shot, she was throwing up the spray in Swansea's Dyfatty Street when heading for Llanelli.
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!

This GO Ahead vehicle from South London was on SouthEastern Trains Rail Replacement Services from Faversham and Canterbury East, and was seen arriving in Dover in East Kent looking rather out of place against the backdrop of Dover Castle.
This year I am once again making Photography Calendars, and so if you still like my work as much as all your favourites and comments say you do, here is the EBAY link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375845182841, and you do not need an EBAY Account to buy one, as you can "Check Out as Guest".
66594 yings away as it idles at Waverton whilst on Sunday engineering duties on the Cumbrian coast line.

Back in August of 2016 I was working for the City of Brantford and my supervisor asked me to check out the progress of the Mohawk Street Railway Crossing replacement.
Here we see PNR Railworks crews moving the new track section into place.
The whole replacement took 3 days in total for removal, replacement and refurbishment.
I visited this crossing 3 times in one week to photograph the progress and ensure that city infrastructure was returned to how it was left.
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.
Now onto the short double-track section between Bendigo Yard and Kangaroo Flat, Steamrail's R761 catches a burst of sun as it powers through Bendigo's outer suburbs and passes the former station in Golden Square leading A66 & N452 on train 8094; the return leg of 707 Operations' Riverlander tour from Rochester. R761 was substituted for R707 due to the latter being deemed unfit to operate the trip. 28/7/24
Whilst Stagecoach in South Wales's input into the megabus.com network ended in early September 2024, the company retains numerically the first pair of Plaxton Elite-i-bodied Volvo B11RTs for contract work. Both have received the white and green Specialist version of corporate livery.
Rail Replacement work is a regular source of income, and to illustrate this, 54201 is captured at the large Upper Boat roundabout in September 2024 when operating between Merthyr Tydfil and Radyr for Transport for Wales.
At 12 years old, she must have a couple of million miles on the clock by now.

all our town bridges were destroyed or damaged two years ago in the worst floods we have ever known , this is the first one to be replaced. l think it looks like a mini Sydney Harbour Bridge..........lol
We saw this on our way to morning - it replaced the one in this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/thadz/13633175023/ . Apparently, the owner of the store was issued a citation for the larger one and vowed to defy the county and not take it down. Can you say "Meow"?

Hints for a successful recovery - self-discipline. You must do your physical therapy every day. Force yourself to get up out of bed as early as possible after surgery, even when it hurts.
The person in this photo was without crutches within 7 weeks (with his physicians' approval).

With nothing better to do, I headed over to Woking to see what was on rail replacement today (Sat 28/12/2024). New operator Chaseside turned up with one their smart-liveried E400 deckers, Fairmanns Travel had their recently repainted Dart/Pointer out, TK Travel showed off their recent rebrand livery, and a cheerful yellow decker of Chilternbus brightened up a rather dull day. Oh, and a bonus on the short walk to Spoons for a much needed coffee - a Safeguard Tempo!! Not a bad day in the end.
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?

Route 57 started in 1951 and, along with route 57A, were replacements for tram services 8 and 20. Quite surprisingly this appears to be first use of the route number in London.
Route 57 initially ran from Tooting Broadway to Victoria via Southcroft Road, Streatham, Brixton, Stockwell and Vauxhall. Route 57A ran from Streatham, St Leonard’s Church to Victoria via Mitcham Lane, Southcroft Road, Tooting, Balham, Clapham, Stockwell and Vauxhall. This slightly confusing set up didn’t last long, and route 57A was re-numbered to 181 in May 1952. The 181 shrunk away and was withdrawn in 1981.
It took a more recognisable form in 1964 when it was extended in the south, running through Merton, Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Copse Hill, Coombe Lane and Norbiton to Kingston. At the same time the northern terminus was cut back to Streatham Hill, Telford Avenue at most times. It continued to operate as far as Stockwell in the peaks and during Saturday shopping hours and there was no Sunday service, which had been withdrawn in 1958.
All service to Stockwell was withdrawn in December 1966, and for six months the route only ran as far north as Streatham Thrale Hall Hotel (I’m not sure where that was, although I’d guess along Mitcham Lane.) It was then extended back to Telford Avenue again.
A Sunday service (from Kingston to Tooting Broadway) was re-gained in 1992, and the route was extended to Atkins Road (Clapham Park) on Monday to Saturday – Sundays followed to this same northern terminus in 1994 and the route has been the same since.
Operations wise, the route was initially based at Brixton (BN) until 1964, when it moved to Merton (AL) where it stayed until 1989. It then ran from Norbiton (NB) and Fulwell (FW) before heading off to London & Country on tender in 1992. They ran it from garages at Leatherhead and Croydon. In 1997 it was re-assigned to Westlink (soon to just be part of London United) at Kingston (K), moving to Tolworth (TV) when that garage closed. However, the route has just been won on tender by London General, and on 02/07/16 it returned to the more operationally efficient Merton Garage for the first time since 1989. I am surprised it was not won by London General or Arriva in previous tenders, as London United has not had a garage on line of route since 2001. They must have managed to keep some costs down to keep hold of the route.
The route is mainly using a batch of Alexander Dennis Tridents with Enviro 400 bodies that were previously allocated to route 345 at Camberwell. In this photo, in which I’ve actually found some blue sky, fleet number E118 is passing through Tooting.

Dating back to 1870, the New Presque Isle Lighthouse was built when it was decided to put up an entirely new structure rather then update the original light from 1840. The lantern room was equipped with a third order Fresnel Lens which was pulled in 2003, refurbished and placed in the museum in 2012.

The closure of the Great Western main line around the north Bristol area on a number of weekends in October 2017 has seen a major rail replacement programme between Cardiff and Bristol Parkway, and between Newport and Bristol Parkway.
First West of England is one of the operators covering the Newport service, and has rostered a number of Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMCs with light blue and tangerine fronts, in the same way that they were allocated to the major rail replacement programme in South Wales over Christmas and New Year 2016/2017.
33797 is one of the light blue fronted examples, usually used on Services 48 and 49 in Bristol, and is captured arriving at the Old Green Interchange in Newport in mid October 2017.
