    What's on your Workbench? (2021)

    I was under the impression that it's supposed to look freshly removed - there's a Tower Transit logo in a lighter shade of red above the doors/driver's side window too

    OMSI & OMSI 2 Screenshots November 2020

    LL Circular ;) I'll agree on the effort - lovely to see a bit of (somewhat) local colour!

    Bus Spotting

    I believe it's their first time together again since Showbus 2018 National Express Coventry 4453 leads West Midlands Tridents 4601 & 4535 up Newton Street, as part of the Virtual Bus Bash procession, last Sunday. more from the event on my Flickr https://flic.kr/s/aHsmQCLK6P

    Model Railways/Buses

    I've amassed quite a sizeable collection of West Midlands models; mostly of the Travel/National Express West Midlands era. Not at all bad, considering I began collecting seriously a few years ago - long after the time of production for many (with the exception of recent releases). The collection...

    What's on your workbench? (April - June 2020)

    I think it looks spot on, considering it's still work in progress. ;) Haven't seen it been mentioned yet, but a few Y-FJNs lives on in Wolverhampton - with local independent, Travel Express. Don't take my word for it, but I surmise their days are numbered; being replaced by E200 Darts in the...

    What's on your workbench? (Dec 2015 - March 2020)

    Travel West Midlands operated just shy of 200 O405Ns, between 1998 and 2013 - when the last of them were withdrawn. Here's a photo of one of the rears (not my photo) Loving the progress on this project - the O405N was one of my favourite vehicles to don the local streets, in real life...

    Bus Spotting

    6919 passes under the Stambermill Viaduct, in Stourbridge, with a 9 service for Birmingham. 6919 was new to Pensnett garage in December 2018, and is one of 28 new E400MMCs for the 9 & X10. These 28 vehicles are part of an order for 75 buses in total, excluding an additional 14 for operations in...

    Bus Spotting

    Got quite a bit of free time on my hands at the moment.. Decided to use this *wisely* and get photos of National Express' new buses. These photos were all taken within the past week. Today, I was on my way Coventry-bound (again) for a ride on the new Platinums; in the process, I stumbled...

    Three-Axle Enviro400XLB

    I'll be one to say that it looks absolutely incredible. Commendations to Lothian, who appear to be the pioneers of the modern British bus scene (in my opinion). I wonder if this would spark a more widespread use of tri-axle vehicles in the UK, especially with Go-Ahead's TA1's recent debut. The...

    Buses [Official DLC] Masterbus Gen 3 Pack

    Not a tri axle. Just an elongated Streetdeck; like the 2015 Brighton & Hove "Coaster" examples, I believe.

    Doesn't that President in the middle look a little off? ;) (The Green Bus depot, Birmingham) And though it may look rather close up, I took this photo from the street, rather than on site.

    Buses [Official DLC] Masterbus Gen 3 Pack

    I've been a follower of this project for a while, and I have to say it's looks like it's coming along immaculately! Commending BlueOrange and his team for all their efforts that they're putting into the vehicle pack; especially with the teasing screenshots! *Trying to not sound like a suck-up...
