I had a thought about a section, similar to fleet lists - but for routes. It would show new & old, along with the depot that runs it with the allocation. Basically providing information and changelog to make that 40-something page long thread about allocated rare workings redundant, too.

This would not only help new enthusiasts, but also provide a background to service operation.

Wondering if anyone has watched this.

It's a series about competing sightseeing bus companies in Belfast and across Northern Ireland.

Quite interesting little series.

Available on the iPlayer and catch up on Sky etc

I know Dan suggested I pm him with some illustrations of this, a while back, but I never did work out how to pm attachments.

So I'll leave these here. Basically, landscape is ridiculous, portrait involves too much sliding and scrolling and can't be resized, icons are mismatched (same on Firefox on my laptop) and members' info often takes up far more space than the actual post, which makes following a conversation quite difficult!

They 10 years old and any bus can break down doesn't matter what age it is, I would wait a few weeks in till you decide it's a common problem.

Wasn't sure where to put this:
