  • Oh boy, Hull Fair! There's going to be some out-of-Hull Stagecoach buses coming to Priory Park starting...tomorrow?
    I honestly can't wait to see what comes of the New Routemasters come around about 2021. Will they go regional? Or will they be scrapped?

    They'll remain in London. Most London buses have a life-span in the Capital of 10-15 years. There are no plans whatsoever to scrap the NRMs anytime soon. Moreover, there are many London bus contracts that are being renewed with existing NRMs. For example, the 68 transfers from Go-Ahead London to Abellio London with it's existing 2016 built NRMs from March 2018. That contract will expire in March 2023.

    I expect they'll get life extensions until it's no longer economic to do so and then they'll be scrapped. Can't see them going regional given number of doors and staircases, not to mention the series hybrid system not working that well out of busy city areas.

    Considering the last 17 are about to head to the 267, I expect they will be around till around 2025-30, maybe longer if automation hasn't kicked in yet.
    I wonder what an AEC Routemaster would look like in an old Dublin/CIE livery? Be interesting to find out.
    The laptop has updated after nearly a year of neglect. Hour and a half was lost, the regret set in a while ago.
    Miffed. Its general knowledge that we know about copyrights.

    I should stress there is a big difference between legitimately embedding a photo within a post (such as Flickr), compared to editing then putting your own name on it and uploading it.

    You should put out some kind of PSA relating to this.
    0118999
    Give us a chance lol! As I said previously it is likely we will provide guidance if a replacement thread is created.
    Tube Strike! How will enthusiasts of all kinds react?
    LazyGuy222
    Tbh, if you can't live without a train for a day or two you should be worried

    @LazyGuy222 But the amount of people who complain is mind-blowing. Arrogant idiots want transport to run JUST for THEM. So they abuse twitter staff, station staff, any staff in general. Just because of a small disruption or strike that is aimed at better safety for passengers
    Doing the book, and now I have to do a major amendment three pages in. Christ, I can't understand timetables in Dublin, let alone Hull.
    0118999
    I think in Dublin a lot of timetables state departure times from the terminus and no mid-route times because the traffic is so bad?
    Thinking of writing a crime drama involving a Dublin Bus driver taking matters into his own hands upon discovery of a smuggling ring.
    Hullian111
    It probably will end in some massive co-ordinated effort from the drivers to get the antagonist before the Garda do. Although I'm not so sure about writing it yet.

    Sounds..... enchanting... I say go for it, always good to see creative ideas come to fruition
    Little bugger just gave me £20 note for a £1.80 DayRover! Even had the nerve to ask "pardon"! I can't even reach the pound coins!
    To the devs of the London map, how compatible are the templates of the C400 London bus to the C400 Regional bus?
    Hullian111
    That is, if the templates are even done yet.
    Rhys
    Almost identical, just with a rear exit door
    Hullian111
    Cheers. Was thinking of doing a red Stagecoach Stripes livery. Just a little adjustment is all I need to do, then.
    What do you think is the worst way for a bus to go out? IMO, its either being used as a party bus, or as a stationary advertisement.

    Tbh there's an entire thread to be had on the subject of 'post pics of the worst party bus/static advert'

    School bus, bus banger racing or kid's playbus.
    Lukeyboi
    Bus Banger or Bus Bar are the worst. School Bus is fairly tame, at least they'll be in bus form and get to stay as a bus past things like DDA. Although kids treat them bad, its not too much hard work for a preservationist. Especially if companies look after their fleet correctly. Some do some don't. Depends on the operator. Travelling on schoolbuses i can still enjoy them as an enthusiast... they're hardly changed
    Pencilled in my running day e-mail notice. Would set it on calendar, but who knows if I'll have my phone by then? 2018, here we come...
    Isn't Buses Mag supposed to be out now, or is it because of Showbus that its delayed?
    LazyGuy222
    It's suppose to be out on Thursday, always comes out on a Thursday every month. Look at the back of the current mag, it gives a date
    Florence3099
    It's out on the 21st.
    My mortal fear as a bus enthusiast is being sworn at. Being emotionally-fragile doesn't help.
    I've got a lot of reference pics for an EYMS repaint but quite a few are of the same vehicle. I don't know when they were taken, so what do?
    Can't wait to get my hands on a Routemaster template. Well, both Routemasters. We should celebrate when Matthias' Routemaster comes out.
    Just got back from Big Bus Day. Got a haul of models and gubbins, got photos, and slippers? Got.
    rrdhthms
    Wish I could go, but even if I got the first bus in the morning (0545) down, I'd get there for about 1418... :( https://imgur.com/N5YfhSK

    You should be down south, we have the Amersham and High Wycombe running day coming up, and the London running day a week later!
