With the majority of the Majorette Transporter truck series for sale at ASDA being repeated old releases I almost didn't spot this brand spanking new release.
Making good use of their superb Mercedes-Benz Actros it is now mated to a rather imposing space rocket. Not just a static load either, this being a Majorette product means not only does the launch tower raise up with the rocket but said rocket can also be removed too.
Mint and boxed.
As dust whirls around, NSW Trains NP23 'Combined Armidale-Moree Xplorer' races down the grade at the 'Hill View Private Crossing' near Werris Creek en route to Muswellbrook. Due to weekend trackwork, this service was truncated to Muswellbrook.

Volvo B9TL / Wright Gemini H45/29F new to First Bristol in October 2008. 37605/6/8-10 have been used on the Long Ashton Park and Ride in a red livery since 2012. When they were replaced by Scanias on Metrobus m2 on 3rd September 2018 it was thought that they would all be repainted in Mendip Xplorer livery for use at Wells. 37605/6/10 have gone to Wells , but 37608/9 have remained at Hengrove and have received Unibus livery the same as the 2017 Alexander Dennis E400mmc 33491-9 bought for the U1 last year.

Rural Scene. Somewhere between Orange and Parkes NSW on Main Western Rail Line.
Photo's not as sharp as I'd like however taken from a moving train through tinted windows so can't be perfect.
Footbridge full of enthusiasts wait for Garratt 6029 to pass though... But for now had to do with an Xplorer pulling into Goulburn

The Endeavour is a diesel multiple unit train operated by NSW TrainLink on passenger rail services in New South Wales, Australia on the Hunter Valley, Main Western, Southern Highlands and Illawarra lines. Mechanically identical to the Xplorer Class,all 30 carriages were built by ABB Transportation in Dandenong, Victoria. The units were introduced in 1994.
33662 is an Alexander Dennis E40D Enviro 400 H45/28F new to First Devon and Cornwall in March 2012. All nine of these were transferred to First Bristol at Hengrove around the end of 2016 and painted with orange fronts on urban livery for service 50. All nine are now in Mendip Xplorer livery at Wells depot where they replaced the 2015 Streetdecks.

Volvo B7RLE / Wright B44F new 10/2009 , one of a batch of 14 new at Wells , in Weston-super-Mare on service 126 from Wells .

Most of these are due to be replaced with 2008/9 Geminis for services 172/3/4 , but a few will be retained by Wells for service 126 which will have to remain single decker operated.

In December 2019 First West of England acquired 7 of these Alexander Dennis Enviro E40D H45/30F new in June 2014 as they came off loan to Diamond Bus North West , with 4 more similar buses following by April 2020. They were used in Bath initially , before 33834-40 were repainted in Mendip Xplorer livery around May to August 2020 and sent to Wells in exchange for their 2009 single deck Volvos.
33836 is leaving Marlborough Street bus station in Bristol on the 14.40 departure of service 376 to Street.
On my way into Bristol today I passed Streetlite 47557 - SN14FGK newly repainted in Badgerline base colours returning "Not in Service" to Weston-super-Mare. Weston now has no single deckers in Excel livery.

Scania N250UD / Alexander Dennis H49/28D first licensed in August 2017. First West of England have 24 of these Scanias , with a further 12 single door examples for service A1 in Bristol Airport Flyer livery.
I believe 10 of the 12 new buses for the A1 entered service in the last week of February or early March , but two of these dual door buses were working on A1 today , and were the only ones I managed to photograph. I assume this means that all of the 2010/11 Volvo B7RLEs have now gone for refurbishment.
A week or so after this photo was taken 36813 was transferred to Bath where it is on loan to Wells depot for service 376 , so it is still running into Marlborough Street. It would appear that these Scanias are to be used on Wells services 172/3/4 from April pending the refurbishment of Volvo B9TLs , which will replace the single deckers.
This did not happen but in August 2018 36813 was repainted in Grey/Orange Metrobus livery for use on M2 which finally replaces Park and Ride 903 from early September. Three Volvo B9s from the 903 are being painted in Mendip Xplorer livery for Wells.
3642 has just turned on the triangle at Moss Vale, and is waiting in the Up Refuge for the passing of the Up Canberra Xplorer service, so it can shunt back into the platform for its return journey.
On 29th March 2015, a special 'Southern Highlander' tour was ran by Heritage Express, which was done to utilize 6029 on a tour one last time before its return to Canberra.
The train was hauled by 4490 & 4520 from Sydney to Picton, from where 3642 and 6029 took over the tour down to Moss Vale, where 6029 would be detached and would couple up to another passenger train from Canberra hauled by 4403.
The Garratt would later lead the Canberra train back to Canberra later in the day, accompanied by 4403 at the rear.
