The very appealing Silver Rider livery on this short wheelbase Enviro 200 / Dart B28F photographed in the dull and oppressive bus station at Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
The Silver Rider I circular route was introduced in November 2018.
Lots of short wheelbase buses using Aylesbury Bus Station.
Group of children in Old Manali village, Himachal.
The kids were playing and chattering on a path above the road I was walking on towards Old Manali village. They were happy to be clicked and gave a warm wave to connect. It is these random smiles and tiny positive connections that keep me going, and exploring.

It's easy to fall in love with the place, and its flavours; the tranquil wooded surrounds, artful ambience full of antiques and history, and excellent modern service and amenities.
BJB 381B displayed at the Festival of Steam and Transport 2019. Historic Dockyard Chatham.
Derived from the sucessful Triumph Herald car, the Courier van was only produced from 1962 to 1964. I hadn't realised that it had been such a short production run until now.

FL 9224 displayed at the Festival of Steam and Transport 2019. Historic Dockyard Chatham.
This small road roller would have been used for footpaths, car parks and other non main road areas. The information sheet contains details of an extensive restoration.
We have here Dorothy the traction engine seemingly getting mighty close to G-BJST North American T-6 Harvard.
This was at the Flying Festival 2019 held at Old Warden Airfield by the Shuttleworth Collection.
Dorothy is a Clayton and Shuttleworth 5NHP traction engine built in 1914.
G-BJST carrying the markings AJ841 was built in 1953.
A busy scene at North Weald Station. 80078 BR Standard Class 4 locomotive from 1954 and shark ballast plough and brake van from 1959 on the right.
After so much time finally i got again the good feeling in taking pics, thanks to a great and nice model
Migrants walking on the Ludhiana-Delhi Highway (NH-44) near Ludhiana, Punjab, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
Families of migrants had to walk on highways towards their faraway home states carrying on themselves what little meagre worldly possessions they had.
A special treat to be able to walk freely around 7 of the Douglas Dakota / C47/ C53 Skytrooper aircraft that will be part of the Daks Over Normandy 75th anniversary event on 5th/6/h June 2019.
They were at Old Warden Airfield for the Shuttleworth Collection's Flying Festival 2019.
On display in The Nave of Ely Cathedral. Part of a science related exhibition.
The Museum of the Moon is an internally lit globe covered with NASA imagery of the lunar surface.
Also just in view is the very detailed painted ceiling of The Nave.
Baya Weaver bird perched on a palm tree in a garden near Ludhiana, Punjab.
This is a male Baya Weaver in breeding plumage that gives it the bright yellow colours.
Grey bushchat female bird near Pong Lake in Himachal.
Grey bushchat is usually seen in pairs, and often around the edges of forested areas. This female was sighted while we were heading out from the Pong Lake Bird Sanctuary, and right after we had sighted a male perched nearby.
Basildon based MX05 CDO about to make the acent of Crown Hill, Rayleigh, Essex.
Rayleigh Station in the background.
Black-headed Jay perched on a tree stump near Kausani, Uttarakhand.
In recent times, this bird can be spotted foraging around wooded areas near human settlements where garbage is often dumped. Another indication of the interference of human activity with nature.
JUF 377E displayed at the Festival of Steam and Transport 2019. Historic Dockyard Chatham, Kent.
A lookalike MG TF.
Information from the sheet on the windscreen says that this car may be the oldest roadworthy Gentry. It was completed in 1975. Has been rebuilt since then. A new chassis, engine from a Triumph Dolomite 1500TC, 4 speed gearbox with overdrive and and Spitfire 1500 rear suspension.
The DVLA has this car registered as 1967, which I assume was when the original doner Triumph chassis was made.
It is still possible to buy a Gentry kit car like this today. Ownership of the production rights have changed many times over the years. Now mainly based around Ford components rather than the original Triumph parts.

AY17 UVM working route 3 from Southend-On-Sea to the City of Chelmsford, Essex.
Seen here on the A13 London Road, Westcliff-On-Sea, Essex.
Sutton is very small area with a population of less than 140 within the district of Rochford but also very close to Southend-On-Sea. All Saints Church has some sections of the building from the fourteenth century, but most of the structure is later than that. Renovation has taken place over the centuries, particularly in the Victorian era.
TSJ 447 displayed at a Southend and District Classic Car event along the City Beach section of Southend Seafront.
The information sheet attached to this car revealed that the vehicle is called Emily. It also pointed out that not many people would haved remembered that Ford had made a model called an Escort between 1956 and 1960.
A relatively young breed of cattle with the first herd appearing in 1874. A cross between two now extinct East Anglian breeds .
Photographed at the Rochford Hundred Ploughing Match 2018 held at North Benfleet Hall Farm, Essex.
A112 KFX parked up on the A13 London Road, Westcliff-On-Sea, Essex.
Looking splendid, as you would expect being part of the Ensignbus Vintage Fleet.
A112 KFX had in its earlier days done duty in National Express livery as a double decker coach.
DCR 349 displayed at the Festival of Steam and Transport 2019. Still can't make up my mind if I like the styling of this model or not. I think that I prefer the very early models from 1934 that had a flat grille instead of the waterfall grille seen here.
The Triumph car business went in to recievership in 1939 and was taken over by new owners. The expertise gained from building this car from aluminium over an ash frame was put to good use in aircraft production during the war years.
Displayed at Chelmsford Museum.
Chelmsford based Crompton's were major players in the early days of electricity. Sometimes easy to forget that electric powered vehicle systems were already in place before the rise of petrol and diesel powered vehicles.
Photograph taken in 2019.
YN10 FZD day tripping from its home base in Luton to Southend-On-Sea, Essex.
This style of Plaxton Cheetah midi-coach body was in production from 1997 until 2014. Replaced by the Cheetah XL.
Some shades of 1950's styling here may be. I certainly like it.
OU12 CZV photographed in the oppressively depressing setting of Aylesbury Bus Station, Buckinghamshire.
Z and S Transport are a major independent operator that have been around for about thirty years.
This heavy duty ambulance was widely used in all theatres of war from its introduction in 1940. The USAAF used these Austin K2 ambulances on their UK air bases.
Over 13,000 were made, some staying in service well in to the 1960's.
On the DVLA website it says that XBV 445 was made in 1943, registered in 2016 and powered by a 3462cc petrol engine.
At the Historic Dockyard, Chatham, Kent.
The destroyer HMS Cavalier came in to service during November 1944 and did see some wartime action, mainly in the Far East. She was placed in the reserve fleet sometime in 1946. But in the late 1950's HMS Cavalier was refurbished and came back in to front line service until finally being decommissoned in 1972.
Monument close to the Polish Memorial right in the heart of Driel, Netherlands.
In the small Dutch town of Driel, Stanislaw Sosabowski is held in very high esteem. And righty so.
A professional Polish soldier with a service record stretching from before 1913 until 1946.
Major General Sosabowski lead the Polish element of Operation Market Garden with about 1,000 parachutist, in a unit that he had created himself, under his command. Stanislaw Sosabowski made his first parachute jump at the age of 49. He had voiced concerns about Field Marshal Montgomery's ill fated plans for Operation Market Garden before and during the action. Montgomery got his revenge though by using Major General Sosabowski as a scapegoat for the mission failure. This was also siezed upon for political reasons.
Stanislaw Sosabowski had served in the Austro-Hungarian Army during the Great War fighting against the Russian forces. In the Polish Army he fought against Soviets again in the 1920's. He had been captured by the Germans during their invasion of Poland, but escaped to Great Britain via some time in France. He finished his life working for a long time in a factory in Acton, England, probably until his death aged 75 in 1967. Most of his post war work colleges were unaware of his military past.
The site of the mermorial is right where the last major stand of the action took place. The Hotel Hartenstein in Oosterbeek had been used by high ranking German staff before the Allied forces took it over as a base for the short lived Operation Market Garden. Gelderland is the Dutch province where most of the major objectives were located.
The rebuilt Hotel Hartenstein is now the Airborne Museum Hartenstein.
Migrants walking on the Ludhiana-Delhi Highway (NH-44) near Ludhiana, Punjab, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
The rules and restrictions of the lockdown were tweaked with each iteration, and transportation of all types of goods was opened in May. However, interstate movement of migrants was still not facilitated with any urgency. The irony was that goods could be transported in vehicles, while migrants had to walk hundreds of miles to their homes.
Steam locomotive working the remaining one mile section of the railway at the Historic Dockyard, Chatham. Back in its naval base days there were about seventeen miles of mainline gauge rail track within the dockyard.
The 0-4-0ST locomotive Ajax was built in 1941 by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns Ltd. Delivered new to Chatham Naval Dockyard it remained in service until 1984. All other steam locomotives within the dockyard were retired in the early 1970's.
ULF 373 displayed at the Flying Festival 2019 held by the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden Airfield, Bedfordshire.
Just over 28,000 of this model of A95's were made from 1956 to 1959. Very few were automatic like this one.
Extended landscape of Pong Lake near Dhameta, Himachal.
Nature presented some amazing scenes while I walked towards the edge of the lake. At one time, as it started to drizzle a bit harder, I put my cameras away and gratefully looked up at the sky right above the lake to thank the universe for this opportunity. I've never connected with the universe like this before. This is my perspective of that moment.
Charlie McKeever's Bar in Portadown, County Armagh.
The business has been at its current site since 1974. Originally founded in 1944 by 19 year old Patsy McKeever and still in family hands.
A long time since I have come across a pub that still has an off licence on site.
