After 3 weeks & 2 days, an electrical rebuild & some persuasion, 66728 WX54 XCN is alive again! Hopefully, it's out on the roads again very soon!

The UK political scene is WILD! Torn from both sides but dissolving parliament seems logical at this point. Serve the people, not parliament.

It was not the most flattering entrance into preservation but due to electrical parts being stripped. It was our only option! 66728 WX54 XCN is now in my care!

This UK online safety act is pathetic in so many ways. Censoring the truth. We're governed by moronic idiots, You can protect young people online.... IT'S CALLED BEING A GOOD PARENT!

Some fairly recent I.E (Last 6 months) transfers to the West of England. 3 of the Ex Glasgow Airport ADL Enviro400 City's have seen use on the Bristol Airport A1 service due to a vehicle uplift. Must say, quite a unique sight & definitely brings some variety to Bristol!

I've been heavily on the Volvo B9TL trail these last few weeks. Ensuring to have photographs of every single @FirstBSA based Gemini from the type! Just 8 left to photograph!

Electrics due to take over in the next few months. Find myself paying more attention to our Volvo B9s! Fairly controversial in the community, I feel. but undeniably workhorses!

Farewell First Group Volvo B7TLs 🫡 After arriving in Cornwall a few days ago, effort has been made to catch these outgoing workhorses before being soon confined to history. Most of them definitely looking smarter than replacements too!
