I suggest Morebus now has enough vehicles not to need the use of the New Forest Tour Volvos once the tour season ends 13th September, the next day will see the introduction of the winter timetable. Things are now better with the return of 1827, 1821 has been to both Totton and Ringwood...

The OP just said "bus services"!!

Bus rallies with feeder services. three examples, Bournemouth Bus Rally, King's Park, land mostly council owned Provincial Bus Rally, Stokes Bay, similar situation Lyndhurst Bus Rally, (22/8) Strawberry Fields, which is between Lymington and Brockenhurst. The site is private farmland owned by...

In the 1971 Jams Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, Bond uses a Seaspeed SRN4 The Princess Margaret to cross the channel from Dover on his way to Amsterdam.

An update on the New Forest Tour is that 1827 was removed from Lymington earlier this week, I assume it has now also been withdrawn. 1821 worked the Blue route until 4th August when it also broke down, it is currently inside Lymington garage, presumably being repaired. One of the new Breezer...

The New fForest is a major visitor attraction, estimated that 15m visit it each year, a few years ago, the New Forest Tour was being hailed as a success, it is claimed that last year it resulted in nearly 23,000 fewer car journeys. The season could be expanded to include over Easter and Whitsun...

If the New Forest Tour returns in 2027, that is 11 months away. There is the more pressing need of how to operate a full time service which runs 7 days a week with four 22 year old buses, whose reliability is already questionable for the next 44 days with no spare. The original plan was that...

I does seem the New Forest Tour is on its last legs. 1824, 1825, 1826, and 1830 are now part of the reserve fleet, and no sign of a return to service, despite the following 1821 - New Forest Tour, in service Blue route 1823 - New Forest Tour Red, in service Red route 1827 - New Forest Tour...

Morebus 86, 112, 119, & 120 use the main road through Ampress Industrial Estate to reach Lymington hospital, 191 serves Glendene Caravan Park New Milton, in that it turns around at the main entrance New Forest Green Tour serves Lymington Adventure Golf, New Forest Wildlife Park, Beaulieu Motor...

I found the agitator gutless, as soon as an item of clothing made contact, it would stop without powering down. Probably why it started overheating when someone wasn't keeping an eye on it. Also for the seller to repackage such an item when returned and resell it to the next customer is also...

I recently purchased a USB water agitator, designed to act as a portable tabletop washing machine using a bucket, and as soon as I unpacked it, noted that the wire showed signs of overheating, several customer reviews of this item said the same thing. I am also thinking of the standard 2 pin...

I note another hazard. How many of these (and other) appliances are sold with a little dinky plug? Does it contain a fuse? If not, this is potentially a fire hazard In this video, the plug is sawn off (and I don.t like the way his fingers are close to an operating angle grinder)

I remember Paddington to St Austell, overnight, as you say.mainly sleepers and carflats

Hythe Pier, the ferry and railway needs our support. The ferry has not run for nearly two years, the company has recently gone into administration, and it is due to volunteer effort that the pier has reopened and the train has run. The locos are over 100 years old, originally constructed as...

Another "You can't park there" story. A Lake District farmer, fed up with illegal parking on his land, took revenge with a muck spreader Shouldn't that be inspecting? https://www.farmersguide.co.uk/rural/rural-crime/farmer-covers-cars-in-slurry-after-owners-leave-them-on-his-field/
