Alveston and Olveston in South Gloucestershire are connected by Eurocoaches service Y2C.

United Counties renumbered the Edith Weston service to 240 in November 1973 in order to allow Corby's expanding town services to occupy part of the 270-279 series. My 1978 timetables show a broadly similar level of service to ten years before. Stamford outstation closed in August 1980 but I...

Bear in mind that the EMR service heading towards Norwich splits at Nottingham, either four cars down to two on a 158 or six to three on a 170. All the more paramount if you're bringing a bicycle!

I update my Oyster at Liverpool Street tube every three years as and when I renew my Disabled Railcard. The concourse staff have always been very helpful there.

Going back in the midsts of time, Eastern Counties service 19B (later 676) used to run Fridays only between Loddon and Beccles calling at Nog Dam End which lies between Reedham Ferry and Norton Subcourse in the middle of nowhere. It appears to have ceased by the early 1980s.

I believe that Norfolk County Council's Fusion day ticket (available on-bus for £15 adult and valid on fifteen operators around the county) permits travel along the whole line of route for stage services crossing the county border including the Excel to Peterborough, 505 to Spalding along with...

Eastbourne's bus fleet was similarly affected. Between 1903 and 1910 East Sussex issued AP marks in the same fashion as Wallasey, which Eastbourne continued with HC when created as a county borough in 1911. The opportunity was taken to issue both odd and even marks to cars etc. when JK was...

In Bedford's chassis code system, SB3, VAM3 and VAS3 were all petrol engined variants along with the earlier SBG designation.

You're welcome, glad I could help. Timings were 0730 Gillingham, 0737 Chatham arriving Petersfield 1134. Return would have been at 1649 getting back into Medway just after 2045.

You won't find an awful lot of motorway along the south coast even now.

Going off the Summer 1975 NX guide, possibly service 047 to Hastings/Eastbourne, 050 to Brighton/Bognor Regis, or 053 towards Bournemouth where you might have disembarked somewhere between Redhill and Portsmouth. Maybe Guildford or Petersfield? They'd all have commenced at Gillingham. I can't...

Thank you all for your assistance. It was while looking up the ECW-bodied Bedford VAMs on Bus Lists On The Web where 215 HRO piqued my curiosity, as it spent the first eight years of its life as the only Bedford/ECW in existence. I then double checked the relevant PSV Circle body list to...

I was unsure where to post this so I crave the site admins' indulgence if this is in the wrong forum. In March 1959 British Railways received a 'mobile lab' based on a Bedford RLH lorry fitted out by Eastern Coach Works at Lowestoft which was registered 215 HRO with BR stock number 1033S. Would...

Bus Lists on the Web lists 157 new vehicles for Silcox from 1936 onwards. The last of them were three ADL E20Ds new in April 2016, two months before the company collapsed.

I was surprised to find out last that week while my single fare from the edge of First's Norwich inner zone to the city centre had recently gone up to £2.40, it's £3 to get to the railway station which lies the other side for me. Thankfully the one day Anglia Ranger paper ticket I purchased took...

The Bowthorpe - UEA section of the 22 is now covered by the 26A.

Thank you for that, very helpful! It's hard to know where to start when it comes to searching on here. For whatever reason these don't seem to be documented to the extent of other railway ticketing systems.

While I'm familiar with both types in the bus world, I can't seem to find any information of lists of machines used on British Rail. Would there be anything out there in either printed or online form please? I remember seeing Almexes in Paytrain use around Norwich during the 1980s but beyond...

Cambridge Coach Services ran a successful service to Heathrow and Gatwick during the 1990s, with departures on the hour between 0200 and 2000 alternately calling at Luton or Stansted airports.

The remainder (36565/81-8) are all registered with DVLA and taxed, so I'd expect them to retain their booked BK73 plates. Somebody posted a picture on Facebook of 36587 at First Leicester's depot today, presumably charging during its delivery run. Meanwhile 36534 is tracking as 20802 this...
