(01 Feb 2017, 10:57 pm)Adrian Picked up these recently. Hundreds of pages worth of nostalgia inside.

I think I have mentioned before, that my Grandma had stacks of timetables and books. Amongst them, there was stuff very similar to these. 

If I remember correctly, the front of the older guide used the same T&W image for a few years. Replaced by the revised cover for a few years.

When she died nearly 24 years ago, the folks binned the lot.
I'd spend many a visit with my head buried reading these, even the obsolete ones.

I've got the two now, but unfortunately finding them at a reasonable price is few and far between.

I might start scanning bits and pieces out of them as a regular throwback feature or something. It'd certainly link to our impending relaunched Bygone Era.

I told the folks to keep them (although it was for reasons other than financial), but they felt the bin was the best place for them. A waste.

Yeah, get scanning and sharing. It would be great to see the content.

Absolutely brilliant. 80's telly at its best.

Treasure Hunt and Annekka Rice in Durham.
She starts off at Finchale Abbey and makes her way around the region. She even lets us know she spent the night at Lumley Castle!
I won't spoil the game and give away the locations, incase you want to play along.
Penshaw Monument is on the opening credits, so there's a high chance that's gonna appear!

'The Washington Way'.
Documentary about Washington in 1975.

There's footage of the Galleries being opened by Princess Margaret. 
The taxis and tab ends were cleared away that day by the looks of it.

Footage of Newcastle from 1987. It starts off at the junction of Blackett St/Newgate St/Percy St and Gallowgate and moves around from there.
Plenty of squeaky action and roaring engines!

Driving through Cheshire today I zoomed past this rather smart specimen! Quickly double backed to the lay-by to investigate further. I was hoping it was an ex-Go North East example, but alas it originates with Brighton & Hove as N408 MPN.

It is however immaculate inside and identical (from what I remember) to Go North East ones of a similar age. The current owner clearly takes a lot of pride in its appearance, though it would look smarter in 'Go-Ahead Gateshead' livery

Deffo one to keep track of!

Yesterday I spend the day roving Nottingham which is a haven for all things Scania. Something I've wanted to do for a while is sample their reasonably rare Scania Omnitowns. A small bit of nostalgia that caught my eye was the bell-presses, pictured. The last time I'd seen one in that style was on a Mk2 Lynx.

My initial though was they were just whatever East Lancs had lying around the time when they were built (2004). However I later rode on a 2011 Omnidekka which featured the same stop-bells. Does anybody know if/why this is something Nottingham specify? Also of note was the plate at the front of these Omnidekkas identified the body as an Optare, along with all the glazing being branded Optare. While I understand ELC eventually became Optare, I never realised the 'classic' Omnidekka design (i.e the style of GNE's ex-Brighton stock) was eventually an Optare product.

Sorry for the apparent blur in the picture. It turns out as well as being quirky as you like, Nottingham's Omnitowns have the ride qualities of a breeze-block.

I bet your Sega didn't have Super Mario Bros.3; the Legend of Zelda or the Adventure of Link. Tongue


I seem to remember that perms were en-vogue too. But, yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of how lasses were dressed at my local youth club too.
