Good morning, would anyone happen to know what is on 0Z74 Carlisle-Belford?

I don't think it looks too dated just yet, but I thought it was an extremely modern design when it debuted in 2014. As with many other slightly more "stylish" bus designs (Optare Versa, I'm looking at you...) they looked amazing at the time, but as time goes on the design seems to age faster...

The link to the website has a preview image of the front panel of a bus, featuring a large black panel under the windscreen - similar to the E200MMC - alongside a new headlight unit and a panel that has triangular folds and creases. I think it looks quite promising, the MMC design is beginning...

Perhaps because the highest temperature records have been broken so many times in the last few years?

What does the L stand for? Limited?

69005 appears to have re-entered the paintshop at Eastleigh - https://www.47soton.co.uk/2022/06/eastleigh-works-14th-june-2022.html Anyone know why, and what modifications / new livery will be appearing soon?

I think a little more red would make that into a fantastic livery. I've applied it to a 175 here :

I don't see any positives to the "traditional" Sunday. Personally I think all days should be the same, but people should be able to choose two "rest days" a week - not necessarily on weekends, or aligned with faith/religious beliefs. I'm a Christian, and I don't see any issue with shops /...

I actually have very mixed feelings about university. I'm currently just coming to the end of my second year of study and, in terms of the academic side, it's ok but rather boring most of the time, most of the work is not really challenging and I effectively just get treat it as a thing to get...

Firstly, I didn't necessarily say you would get a good house for £60k. I'm renting my current place (with a few others in the house too) for £400 a month for a room in a huge Victorian terrace in the best area in Newcastle. If you're looking to rent you can easily find nice places for under...

I'm completely perplexed by this mindset. There is a lot more to the UK than just London and the surrounding area - and it's so much better! I suppose I'm in a similar kind of demographic to you - a few years younger, but I've recently moved out of home in the south east (less than an hour's...

What other bodies were produced for the N94UD?

All this begs the question - what difference does it make to an urban area whether it's a town or a city?

Also, Covid spreads most rapidly in urban areas and in places where people travel to and from different areas a lot. Much of Africa is relatively rural and with relatively little travel between towns, but I am very surprised that some of the larger cities like Nairobi and Lagos weren't affected...

Putin himself was a KGB agent in East Germany in the 1980s.

I think the biggest issue has been the constant faffing about with the fleet, rather than just liveries and brandings. After all, liveries and brandings are often nothing more than just a paint job. The whole coaches on the X9/X10, MMCs on the X84/X85, Streetdecks moving from the X21 to X15...

As one of the younger members of this forum, I suspect my views may be a little different! I mostly use FB messenger or Whatsapp, Snapchat for close friends. I hate using instagram messenger, it means that I have too many places and creates a mess! I also heavily use SMS messaging for friends...

Just seen this article on a car news website about China's new "robosweepers" - fully autonomous road sweepers which also disinfect and sanitize the road surface, supposedly to stop the spread of coronavirus. These vehicles look like rejected props from a post-apocalyptic film...

True, but if you exclude that invasion then the 1943-44 invasions of Europe by the British should probably be excluded as well, making the earlier point about the UK invading Europe completely invalid.

Would I be correct in saying that 1943 (Sicily) and 1944 (France) would be the only times in the last 100 years that the UK has invaded other countries in Europe? I'm not trying to justify some terrible invasions in our history, but at least in the last century the UK / West has got a much...
