I'm one of those who does collect timetables, maps, timetable books, mostly because of the history, i'm often fascinated when routes started up, or over a particular period, & what has happened to the routes since then, one site i go on now for route history & timetables, maps is this one...

Don't you mean Wrexham - Brymbo, i don't think Bromborough has ever had a route to Wrexham:E The 13 feels like one of those routes Arriva run for the sake of it, frequency is what now every 50 minutes, might as well go to hourly The 1 Bws day ticket is now better value than the Arriva Wales...

A10 Heathrow - Uxbridge uses the M4 between Heathrow North & M4 Junction 4 X6 Bradford - Leeds uses the Stanningley By Pass 508 Halifax - Leeds uses the Stanningley By Pass

I thought AWC had one carriage on all the Pendos that has completely unreserved seating, normally coach U on 11 car sets, & coach C on 9 car sets?

Back in the mid 90s MTL on Merseyside had a load of elderly Atlanteans on busy high frequency routes, so started replacing them mostly with Wright Endurance Volvo B10BS, after buying MTL Arriva then continued the program in the early 00s, but replacing deckers with low floor single decks, the...

Some of the sim sig sims are very challenging for single player mode anyway, they've just released Crewe sim & that is one of the most challenging sims for single player they have, first time i've been quite intimidated by a simsig sim, & that's looking at the sim with no trains on it. I do...

Most of TrentBartons routes, TrentBarton have had no double deckers in regular service in the fleet for 30 odd years, even though they're needed on some routes.

What are the issues with the E40Hs, seems bizarre to have modern hybrids just rotting away, when they could be used in service?

An E400 on the 407 smoking quite badly in West Croydon, just after it left the bus station. https://news.sky.com/video/smoke-billows-from-bus-in-croydon-12884810

I'd have prefered White, Orange, Brown combo, that were the colours of GMPTE buses, that were all over the GM area in the early 80s, & that livery stood out too.

If you fancy the bus, i would recommend catching the 22 Chester to West Kirby, takes around 85 minutes end to end, but is quite scenic route some journey's through Willaston, then Neston, Parkgate & Heswall, best part of the route is around Parkgate, here's the timetable...

Indeed, i've been on the N15 around 3.20am departure from Romford that fills up after going through Barking, & is full by the time it reached Aldgate, so nothing new buses being full around 5am in London

Yep, seems like a how dare the bus i intend to use at 5.15am was so full so we can't use up 4 seats for our luggage type of thread. That the 05.15 X26 from West Croydon arrives at Heathrow just after 06.30 means it's perfect for Heathrow workers who's shift begins around 7am, the next X26...

Crosville Cymru operated an open top service 100 Talacre to Conwy known as the Happy Dragon, later transferred to Arriva, not sure when Arriva withdrew the service, posted in the other thread one of those services i wish i went on.

Merseyrail being my local operator i'm going to miss the 507s & 508s, bit to young to remember the introduction of the 507s, but i remember the 508s being introduced after a spell on the Southern network. I'm going to miss the 158s too, i remember them being introduced too, much prefer the 158s...

The only thing with Bustimes.Org is that I wish there was a colour map available when tracking the buses. I often get lost using the current map on my mobile device.

One bus type i never traveled on were the batch of Neoplan N4009s that MTL Merseybus had. They were originally bought for the Smart cross Liverpool City Centre services that Merseytravel launched in the early 90s. The tender went to Arriva in 98 (this was before Arriva bought MTL), so the...

All direct routes between Moreton & Bidston use Bidston By Pass X2 Liverpool to Preston goes direct down the A59 between Tarleton & Preston, & part of the A59 the X2 uses is Longton By Pass. TrawsCymru T3 uses the A483 in the Wrexham area

1994 GM Buses was in the middle of a bus war with MTL, i believe MTL were doing well in the GM area, i don't know how would that have paned out had GM Buses not been split, the agreement to pull out of each others area was agreed to in summer 1995 after the split Another thing, it was very...

GMPTE still publish paper timetables Merseytravel stopped publishing paper timetables before covid hit. I have a coupe of Lancashire County Council paper timetables, published this year too.
