As stated above Sheffield Hallam is due to have a bi election soon and I think that’s another seat going the Lib Dem way. Sadly (I guess depending on your political persuasion) it is currently a labour seat so won’t turn over the working majority of 1 if my prediction did come to fruition. A...

Hello all, Hopefully you might be able to help me. Sometime ago I went to Edinburgh for a day trip and just before I jumped my train back to London I saw a Class 68 and stock about to head out on a diagram. I cant remember where it was too but I know it took in Dunfermline among the way. Do...

Thank you Roast Veg. Very helpful and appreciated

Hi all, So yesterday I took my son out to discover where Lutterworth station once stood. The bridge itself is still there and you can clearly see where the old entrance from ground level use to be. We then talk a walk up the embankment to explore what we could of the old platform (which was...

Thanks for these replies back lads. I pretty much stayed in the same place but saw plenty of action! Does anyone know who runs the “UNO” buses (university of Northampton was branded on the side but I doubt the university actually operates/runs them!, I’m guessing a local firm that’s branded and...

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi all So I’ve just dropped car off for a service and have no idea other than the bus station of where good might be to spot here Any suggestions? Here until 12ish

You probably know what Sheffield is like living in south Yorks but just in case you haven’t been to have a look I filmed there last year and small sample I put in YouTube for anyone who cares to watch

Thank for the info guys, sounds like I saved myself from a long trip to York for not much reason! I will be trying Sheffield and I though probably best at Meadowhall (can spot the tram at the same time then!)

Hi Don Yep, bus spotting books are available. I find the best ones to use are ST Publications. Been using those since I took up the hobby about 4 years ago!. Never yet come close to competing any sections though!..... just far too many

That’s fantastic information. Thanks parallel.

Hi all, I’m off to the bus display at Barking tomorrow (30th March) anyone been to this event before?. Is it any good? I understand there’s some for of a parade of routemasters? What kind of time does this happen or do they just keep taking trips out all day?

Hi all, Just trying to find out some info in the pacers. Trying to film a bunch of them before they go out of action. Just wondering if anyone can help me with some of the questions below please 1) Does GWR still have any pacers and where’s best to maximise seeing them? 2) I’m off to Cardiff...

First Leicester have 2 buses in retro livery (32646 & 66965 for anyone who has a bus tracker app and is looking to spot them. Charles Street is usually a good bet to see them) Nottingham City Transport also had a bus in their retro Green & Cream livery but I think this was to celebrate a...

I was doing both. Tried a few more since this thread as well. Elephant & Castle was excellent, got some nice pictures as they came round the roundabout opposite the tube station. Walthamstow was excellent as well. Stood opposite the entrance/exit and got everything (although not quite so great...
