Wednesday, 30 October 2013. One of my nephews is a member of The Rural Fire Service and he has been out fighting the fires over the last few days. Then we were warned by the Met Office to expect a major storm to hit us on Sunday night. From what I have seen the storm missed Torquay. Other places weren't so lucky. It's Halloween tomorrow and there is a party at The Pad in Paignton where I work. I'm not a. Great believer in Halloween but a party is a party. Just kept seeing trying to obtain IP address.

busdriving: November 2013

http://busdriving.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Friday, 1 November 2013. Another story that caught some peoples eye was the tactics used by the Unite Union. I have been a member of 4 unions in my working life and been crapped on by all four of them so after the last lump a crap landed on my head I decided not to join another union again but I almost wish I was a Unite member so I could have the pleasure of showing my disgust by quitting. The 52-year-old, from Manchester, sped across Torquay harbour in a Formula 1 powerboat. Links to this post. Work Bl...

South West Transport News: June 2014

http://swtransportnews.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, 5 June 2014. After seeing a post on a Stagecoach Enthusiasts Facebook group that Dennis Trident/Alexander ALX400 17037 S837BWC had covered a Gold X4 Peterborough - Milton Keynes, I thought that seeing as it's an ex-South West, I'd give it a blog post! S837BWC in Torquay - 15th June 2013. You never know, there may still be time for us to see a T reg on the South West Gold route yet! I do hope so anyway! 17037 playing 'Gold' 4th June 2014 - thanks to Steve Mutly, used with permission. After heari...

South West Transport News: Surprise in Somerset!

http://swtransportnews.blogspot.com/2015/05/surprise-in-somerset.html

Monday, 11 May 2015. Whilst usually I'm glad to see the start of the bus rally season to get away from the day-to-day modern tat, today (Sunday 10th May) was most certainly exception! Following news that Volvo B5TL/Wright Gemini 3 demonstrator 36300 BF63HDC had arrived at Taunton depot for evaluation last week, I decided that I would pop along to the Vintage Bus Day. I say 'vintage', though most of the attention was on said new Gemini! So, what about 36300? 36300 outside of BoS depot. This demonstrator v...

Sunday, 22 February 2015. Bother with the Bodysnatchers. It's been a while since my last railway related post so I thought I'd blog about something which is a pretty hot topic at the moment - First Great Western and their class 57's. Back to back HST powercars haul 1C99 with 57310. Photo thanks to Alex Nevin-Tylee. DRS 57306 - thanks to Elliott Farrell.
