VP549 left Metroline in the history books as one of the last two remaining VPs in service at Willesden Garage alongside VP534. The pair was withdrawn from service on Friday 13th December 2019. Post Metroline 534’s life was short lived after an RTC lead to it catching fire. VP549 thankfully has a better story and lives on with Bear Buses. No prizes for guessing what its working/where but just in case, its pictured arriving at Hounslow Station whilst covering South Western Railway Rail Replacement.

Why does a robin puff up?
On cool spring mornings and chilly days, robins puff out their feathers – called rousing – to stay warm. It fluffs air into the bird's down feathers, giving some insulation to help the robin maintain its body temperature.
Do robins puff themselves up?
Male robins will always attack any intruder into their space, occasionally – though fortunately not often – fighting to the death. Both sexes of robins have red breasts and both puff out their chests as a sign of aggression.
Here are some fun facts about Robins, the nations favourite garden bird.
Robins are very territorial and you'll usually only see 2 together when they're mating.
In fact, they're so territorial that they often fight to the death defending their area.
They are very loyal to their food sources. The Robin you see in your garden is most likely the same one each time.
Young Robins do not have red breasts. They are brown and lightly speckled, only growing their red feathers after their first moult.
Its nearly impossible to tell apart the male and female Robin by sight.
They are ground feeding, insectivorous birds; mostly feeding on worms and insects found in freshly turned soil (as well as fruit).
Females often eat the shells of their hatched young for an extra boost of calcium.
Robins (both male and female) have such driven parental instincts that they have been found to feed the chicks of other species.
They used to be members of the Thrush family alongside Blackbirds, Redwings, Fieldfare, Mistle and Song Thrushes, however, they're now classified as as Old World Flycatcher.
Although they may look the same, each Robin has a completely unique red breast pattern.

It's June 2001, and the Erie Mining Co. plant at Hoyt Lakes has been closed for nearly six months. The company is shipping out the last of its stockpiled ore with borrowed ex-BN and ATSF GEs. On this day, a pair of ex-BN C30-7s are pulling ore empties past Cramer, Minn. While C30s are personal favorites of mine, they were sorry replacements for the F units I really wanted. Fortunately, I'd have a crack at those a few years later.

This is the only piece of jewelry I wear; my wedding ring. It's actually the 3rd ring, but fortunately still the same wife. Along the way the first ring got lost on a hayride. I don't remember what happened to the replacement, but this is the replacement of the replacement. It will be 47 years in June and thankfully up to this point, she hasn't replaced me.
HMM!
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.
