Okay, so, plain and simple: a few significant B7TLs been withdrawn recently, is anyone *legitimately* interested in trying to save one?
(please at least read the paragraphs at the bottom)
LINCOLNSHIRE ROADCAR:
To be honest, it doesn't look like any of the original RoadCar B7RLE Eclipses are going to survive into preservation, with Stagecoach having authorised all the remaining examples for disposal. If there's going to be an LRCC Wright bodied Volvo that does survive, then it's up to one of the FX06 Geminis - of which all were withdrawn over the winter.
Much like a couple of the Vykings have been saved, I was expecting one of the preservation groups to quickly snap up 16944, given its importance as the final bus purchased by Road Car before being absorbed into Stagecoach. But as far as I can tell, nothing's happened, and with all the FX06s quickly withdrawn in succession it almost seems inevitable that they'll soon be making the one-way trip to Barnsley.
16943 is open top, and 16944 was withdrawn with front-end accident damage, so I'm guessing 16939 would be the most likely candidate?
FIRST EASTERN COUNTIES:
Due to both diesel and electric Streetdecks invading East Anglia en masse, the B7TLs in that region aren't long for this world - particularly the nonstandard President and ALX400 bodied ones. The Presidents are a bit of a mixed case because they were new to London, plus there are a few others still extant in the south west (albeit open top).
The ALX400s, though, have the claim of being built to a unique height ONLY supplied to Eastern Counties, not to mention including the final batch of ALXs First ever bought - possibly the rarest ALX400 variant ever to be produced. Again, there aren't any plans (at least publicly) to preserve one of these unusual machines. I'm aware they're not in the greatest condition, and that they weren't universally liked either, but I've got a soft spot for them and they hold some significance.
While it's true there are other First Alexander B7TLs in preservation, including the GYT liveried one, I'm specifically on about the AU53 and (particularly) AU05 plates here.
Do at least read this bit:
So, like I said up top, are there any other enthusiasts - from Lincolnshire, East Anglia or somewhere nearby - that either A) know of any existing effort to save any of the mentioned vehicles, or B) are interested in actually attempting it?
Please note that this doesn't mean 'can you buy a bus for me' - I'm well aware that preserving a bus is a very costly and difficult piece of logistics to accomplish - especially if you're like me and don't have anywhere to store one, nor are qualified to drive one. Really this is about putting the word out that THE B7TLs ARE UNDER THREAT and me asking who else might be willing to make meaningful efforts to save one? If you're in any enthusiast Facebook groups of anything I'd appreciate if you asked around.
As the ad on the President says, it's probably 'mission impossible', but I might as well ask!
Please comment your thoughts, even if it's just if you'd rather see a RoadCar or Eastern Counties B7TL in preservation. Or do you know of any plans to save one that I don't?
During the U9-11 PK shootout, the 10yo was one of the goalies for the U11 girls competitors, and he was the only goalie for the championship round.
This is from the championship round--he gets this one, even though his left is not really his strong side. (The ball was moving fast enough that he just needed to get his left hand to it.)
actually part of the 'Save the planet' sign of Planet hollywood, inner harbour baltimore.. had just spent a lot at barnes and nobles and i step out and see this.
P1300767 - Recent budget cuts have led the local council to finding alternatives on services provided.
Our roving reporter has saw a number of these 30-40 foot snow drops previous and was unsure what they were to be used for.
A council spokesperson said they were still testing the usefulness of these street lamps, but said they felt the dual purpose of carbon absorption and oxygen production with the gas lamp shades seem to fit into the environment and recent directives from Brussels.
Following up on the Brussels connection we had no comment from the Brussels representative when we met him on the local allotment .

This world is too beautiful to be destroyed for our daily needs !!
On this World Environment day, I pledge to :
- Check and fix all leaking taps and pipes in my home.
- Avoid all electricity wastage by:
o Switch off electrical appliances when not in active use
o Put mobile/battery chargers off the plug point and not to leave appliances in standby mode to save the electricity from "vampire power".
o Switch off computer mointors at home/office when not in use.
- Avoid using vehicles when I can walk.
- Reduce usage of papers.
- Create awareness about conserving environment in people around me.
Conserve or Perish ... we are left with only two options now !!
Share your ideas/plans/actions for saving our Earth on this Environment day.
The Keokuk Junction's eastbound freight out of Keokuk, IA clickity-clacks down the track at Ferris, IL with two GP20s and 32 cars. Ferris is in western Illinois at MP 209 on the former TP&W. The grain elevators in the background are aligned with a long gone former CB&Q branchline from Burlington, Dallas City, Ferris, Carthage to Quincy, IL.
The Keokuk Junction started off as a terminal switching line of former Rock Island trackage in Keokuk, IA. At some point in the 1980's, the TP&W sold off their LaHarpe, IL to Keokuk, IA branch and the KJ picked it up to have an eastern outlet other than interchange with the BN at Keokuk. The KJ has since bought the entire TP&W "West End" from Lomax, IL to Mapleton (near Peoria). This freight will continue east to meet a westbound from Mapleton (with F units). The GP20s live on this job while the F's live on the Mapleton based job.

Please sign this petition to save LEGO LOTR, even if you don't like the theme just take a minute out of your time to sign it, as the theme is far from complete as many of you will know!

Lưu giữ lại những khoảng khắc cuôc sống.Cười,khóc,buồn,vui,hạnh phúc.
Cái gì qua rồi là không lấy lại được,chỉ còn cái cất giữ tất cả trong ký ức và những tấm hình.
Na mà có máy chụp hình xịn xịn,Na cầm nó chụp như điên
Chụp em bé cười,chụp em bé khóc
chụp người ta hôn nhau hạnh phúc,
chụp ba Na,mẹ Na,bà nội yêu dấu,chị em Na và những người Na yêu thương.
Chụp người đẹp,người không đẹp,người dễ thương,người chưa dễ thương.
Chụp nguoi quen biết,chụp người không quen,chụp người vô tình đụng phải,chụp người cố ý theo dõi =))
Chụp hoa,chụp cây,chụp cảnh
Chụp bé cún,thỏ con,cá con,gấu bông,búp bê bằng gỗ
Chụp áo dài tung tăng tan trường,chụp áo hai dây quyến rũ,chụp những chị môi cong tươi tắn,chân dài thườn thượt,chụp em bé hồn nhiên ăn kẹo,chụp cô gái xõa tóc dài đen láy,không cần phấn son vẫn đẹp.
Chụp lúc cả nhà coi đá banh,chụp cả gia đình đi đầm sen,chụp cả nhà ăn tiệc.
Chụp người ta khóc vì buồn,vui vì hạnh phúc
Chụp người ta yêu nhau,người ta chia tay
Chụp người đi xa lưu luyến,chụp người ở lại chờ mong
Chụp nụ cười đoàn tụ,chụp nước mắt chia ly....
Chụp lại những gì diễn ra,chụp lại những gì sẽ qua.
Vì cuộc đời đó,có còn bao lâu đâu....
