Hi there,

I was thinking just now, there are a lot of things in our community that we don't always think about....not so much personal issues, but just those little, almost insignificant things that you don't always think about.

Just to kick off a conversation, how does everyone say fleet numbers? I know some people, for example, would say 8243 as 'eight two four three', while I would say 'eighty two forty three'. This is purely from spending so much time talking to drivers, etc., and I've just picked it up like another language! I would feel kind of stupid if I pronounced a fleet number in the single digit format, how about others?

I just figured a thread like this would be useful to discuss how different people go about doing their hobby.

News and discussion on High Speed Three

Had this idea from another forum, and it seems to be very popular there, so I thought I'd try it here. Show off your best work with a camera, but please stick to the theme of passenger transport. Whether that be Bus, Rail, Air or Water. 

There's no restriction on when/where photos are taken, but could we also limit posts to no more than two images per week? Also ensure photos are posted using the IMG tags, rather than URLs or attachments, which should make it easier for everyone to browse!

Happy posting!

Wrightbus has released its first images of the new front and slightly restyled rear of its double-deck StreetDeck integral and Gemini 3 body. The complete vehicles will be at Euro Bus Expo and the first StreetDeck order has been announced from Brighton & Hove, for Service 25. All this and a great deal more will be described in detail in December BUSES, on sale 20 November.


Information from Buses Magazine Facebook Page, Photos of the New Streetdeck can be seen on the Link Below.

Can't blame the people of Brafferton not wanting to walk three-quarters of a mile to reach the nearest bus stop, especially as there is no footpaths and it is not a very wide road

Not sure if this is the correct place to put this thread, please move if you think it would be better somewhere else.

The Mobile App for NEB has been Updated This Morning, Not to sure what the Updates are but the Background Colour has went from Grey(I Think) to a nice shade of Orange, And the Profile Page has been updated to allow you edit your Personal Details, other than that it looks pretty much the same to me, No doubt there is quite a few more Updates to Tapatalk I just haven't noticed them yet.

The 'Live Map' has discussed regularly, and although it's a UK-wide thing, I'll still put it here...

The map on the website still updates in 'real time' - not like the mobile phone app!

Walking back home about 10 Minutes ago and I hear a Loud Screeching Sound, so I turn around as thought something had happened only to see the Driver of the W5 rather quickly attempt to do a U-Turn at the Bottom of Lambton as he had taken a Wrong Turn, Easy mistake to make when your Driving a Cadet, Must of thought he was doing an M2/M3.
