| Hi Jimmy,
C64 HOM has been recently purchased by my friend Adam Shaw who works for Brighton and Hove. He purchased the Lynx as he wants to convert it into a mobile museum for the history of Brighton Blue Bus/ Tram Ways as theyve recently found a load of old documents and interesting stuff within there Brighton Lewes Road depot.
The bus will have various items and stuff displayed inside it and will attend ralliies. The bus is also going to be painted into Brighton Blue bus livery.
The reason im emailing you is because ive seen you have this picture of the bus and ive made a fotopic for this project and have a collection about the buses life and id appreciate if i could use your photo(s) for it.
I dont mind if you have your copyrights as after all it is your work.
Kindest Regards

| Fortunatley for us this Shed has now departed. Then Stagecoach got 5 more. Which to put one way 27510 is the worse. Also just to point out on GNE 4977, you can see the rear end sagging in this photo http://gjmbusrallies.fotopic.net/p22532451.html .
Are you going to the Metrocentre Rally this year? You may get to sample the partypoppers (Designlines) on the Quaylink and the sheds (Enviro 300) on the 100.

| A good picture of 4 buses on 271 in one go.
I remember when I use to live in Old Street & sometimes I get a 271 bus, sometimes I wait ages for a 271 then three or four 271s come at once. So I see that nothing has changed on route 271. LOL!
Kind Regards!

 RML899 at Tuffenll Park London Observation October |

| THIS PICTURE SHOWS THE REASON WHY PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS NOT LIKED AND SAID TO BE UNRELIABLE. THE CLOGGING UP OF ROAD BY OTHER ROAD USERS CAUSE TRAFFIC DELAYS AND PREVENT FAST, DIRECT ROUTE FOR BUSES TO RUN THROUGH. IF EVERYBODY THAT HAS A DRIVEWAY OR CAR PARK AVAILABLE USED IT THEN IT WOULD OFFER ALOT OF EXTRA ROAD SPACE TO BE USED BY THE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. ALSO IF A FEW PEOPLE FROM EVERY PLACE OF EMPLOYEMENT CHANGE TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT FROM THE CAR THEN IT WOULD MEAN VAST NUMBERS OF LESS CARS ON THE ROAD. EVERYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN BUSES SHOULD ENCOURAGE FRIENDS, FAMILY, WORK COLLEGUES, ETC TO TRAVEL TO WORK, SOCIAL, SHOPS BY BUS OR OTHER PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND LEAVE THE CAR. IF THE ROADS KEEP GETTING CLOGGED UP THEN THE BUS WILL DIE. NOBODY WILL USE IT. |

| It looks like one way to avoid roof damage maybe to have the design like on this type. Roof damage has always made buses look shabby.
I don't know why it is one of those things that just gets ignored. |

| Hello.
I went out on the buses on the Bus Running Day on 1st June, but did not take any pictures. I should quite like to write a page for my web site http://www.ruislip.co.uk commemorating the event and maybe drumming up some support for another one.....
I do know that a number of people went to the even as a result of my mailing and the publicity on my site.
So my question is a simple one - can you send me your pictures to put up on my site. I will, of course, credit you and provide links to.....well wherever you want (within reason!)
Cheers

| I guess in time the modern buses will become classics,just in the same way that Metrobuses and Titans have done. it's probably fair to say that nothing will ever match The Routemaster,but the Metrobuses and Titans were a part of London for over 20 years and they are in some cases still represented around the capital. The DMS was not such a hit in London,but was popular elsewhere. Some examples were used for sightseeing but sadly they are becoming rarer. Nice pictures! |

| Hi there, love this photo of 19300, both the grey Enviro's in Cambridge are really difficult to get because they are used only as spares although one of them has been on trial runs on the X9 (Cambridge - Wisbech). I have several photo's of buses in the region as well (http://www.st-transport.fpic.net) and i'll be adding your site to the links.
Keep up the great work

| Jimmy,
re your picture of Metrobus' 959 on the 119 at Croydon. Your picture caption has the wrong registration, I know at times it's hard to tell D from O but the registration is actually YT59 DYB not YT59 OYB. |
