http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-42168669 Absolutely no need for the Traffic Commissioner to be based in Cardiff. At least the Welsh Commissioner holds Public Inquiries in Cardiff and Welshpool. I think I have also seen Bangor in Notices and Proceedings. The Western Commissioner...

http://www.capitallinks.co.uk/ Some Cardiff Bus routes were transferred to sister company Vale Buslines Ltd trading as Capital Links from 6th November. Same management, same depot and same fares. More orange than green which is slightly confusing as to commemorate 30 years of Cardiff Bus...

Took the attached photo today 29 September 2016 As far as I can see Veolia ceased operating in the Newport area on the 1st April 2012 and I do not think Bishton has seen a bus service since. I know of a few bus stops still showing defunct operators. Some Brewer's stops in Maesteg and a...

Anyone missing the old Hanley (Stoke) bus station should take a trip to their local multiplex where it appears in "The girl with all the gifts" somehow transported to London which in some parts also looks a bit like Pripyat.

Sealink British Ferries was the name used between 1984 and 1991 while owned by Sea Containers between BR and Stena Line.

National Express Rapide timetable and fares for 18 Sept 1983 to 21 Jan 1984. I had forgotten about Boomerang Returns for travel on Tue, Wed, Thu only. Looking at the 502 timetable from Bideford to London with the calling points of Bideford Red Bus office and Barnstaple Red Bus station reminds...

My parents inform me that Radio Bristol had their annual item about the Portishead line being reopened a few weeks ago. A local was interviewed who said he wanted the line reopened even though he would never use it as it would clear the road for his car. I think there are a lot of people in...
