America, just in case you thought Friday went well here’s how the London Times saw it …..

If only!!

For those that are interested and didn't already know: #Imberbus 2025 will be on the 16th. August. Over £35,000 was generated for (mostly local) charities last year!

@teabicciestranport.bsky.social Hi!!! 👋👋👋

Ugh.

My latest rail article is about the long-running campaign, which I used to cover on the radio, to try to reinstate the railway line between Beverley and York. Read about it in the latest RAIL Magazine, on sale now or subscribe here: railmagazine.com

Having a few days in north #Norfolk. Seeing Sanders' local buses always makes a welcome change from the monotony of most of the "big boys"...

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Those with an interest in current #bus operations may be interested in this 👇 talk, given by @busandtrainuser.bsky.social to the #OmnibusSociety in 2023... youtu.be/AebXIWUZBYY?...

Badger grooming parlour. If you've got an itch, you gotta scratch it eh? Many thanks Bob Eade for this great video

The more times I see the irritating Jet2 advert on YouTube, the less I'm likely to use them (i.e. never)...

Amazing!

...and slowly, but surely, I'm finding all the very interesting people I used to follow on the other site 😊

As bus stop flags go, this new one in #Salisbury is pretty epic... @busandtrainuser.bsky.social

It could affect an area the size of Wales

Wishing everyone a good New Year.

Earlier on, I asked a question, looking for a source for a quote. Someone helpfully asked Chat GPT. The answer it gave was 100% wrong. (The answer that humans gave was right.) Please stop asking it. It doesn’t work. And it doesn’t help. Bad arseholes want you to use it. So stop. And everyone wins.

It was good to see these in #Norwich today. Managed to have a ride round the city on the RMC...

Staying and travelling by bus around #Norfolk for #Christmas ...or should that be West #Yorkshire? 🤔

This is brilliant to see: #Hollingbourne railway station being brought back to life...

@busandtrainuser.bsky.social The end of another DRT service - Arriva Click in Ebbsfleet: www.arrivabus.co.uk/latest-news/...

This time of year can be particularly tough for some. Remember, there's help out there ❤️

A blog about BODS.

Struggling to understand how a change of ownership on the railways will stop all performance issues, but still...

Still have a soft spot for #Metrobus around #Crawley. Wish the excellent timetable book would make a come back though...

Thoughtful.
