Also Union Street in Oldham, and Drake Street in Rochdale. Setting the Metro and Historic Tramways layers on https://www.railmaponline.com/uk-and-irish-railways.html will show all such correspondences.

Many years ago there used to be a man who every day got the 92 bus in Manchester from Levenshulme to Longsight and back. With him there was always a dog on a lead, who travelled on a dog ticket. Until one day an inspector with some natural history knowledge got on and identified the dog as in...

Mossley Road depot in Ashton, and the link thereto from the town centre, was wired. https://flic.kr/p/zuCyFv

How are you travelling? The Spa Valley is possibly the least attractive, but the K&ESR is the hardest to get to by public transport.

Traveline.info/NextBuses.mobi is not showing any live departure times from any stops in the North West of England, and hasn't been for at least a week. The TfGM and Merseytravel apps are both stil showing live times (where available). Other parts of the country (e.g. Lincolnshire) are still...

Clynnog and Trefor of Trefor, Gwynedd, have been operating continuously between Pwllheli and Caernarfon since July 1912, under the same ownership (local shareholders) for all their existence. Not far away at Pwllheli, Caelloi Motors are a continuous family-owned business started with a...

Hahahaha. The Bus Open Data project is a shambles. Never mind tracking, I'd be happy if the timetables were there! Go here https://data.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/search/ and see for yourself what's missing ...

Most interesting: It's a cliche, I know, but Exeter St D round to Newton Aaaabott for me. Scenery, birdlife, deer at Powderham Castle, the remains of the Atmospheric. Always a joy, even in the days when I did it regularly. Most nostalgic: It's almost all been swept away, but Manchester Victoria...
