Just read the press release from the RMT about the Great Western Railway coming back into public ownership. According to it, the Government have set up a company and applied for certification to take the railway back 'in house'.

Hi, im interested in pictures of when Park Lane bus station was getting built, has anyone got any pictures, they wish to share.

Thanks
 

Wiki?

Just a suggestion, but ever thought of hosting a Wiki on the site? Could potentially include everything from working documents on fleet lists (past and present), and accommodate any topics that the forums do.

Just posting a few links, stories and photos which some of you may find interesting.

Feel free to share any others.

Just replys to some of the earlier postings.

8222 was fitted with a Cummins ISBe engine as a trial. IIRC 2 Optare Excels were fitted around the same time with the same engine.

As for the centenary vehicle. I think it might be a Dennis Trident / ELC.
