In a normal year, pride season would be in full swing. Whether you celebrate it or not, it's a time to reflect on the fight for the rights and equality we have today. The LGBT community of yesteryear gave so much to create an equal society, never lose sight of that! LGSM

78% of bus passengers outside London report feeling safe when making journeys by bus, latest Transport Focus research indicates. Operators have worked hard to ensure people can travel with confidence with things such as enhanced cleaning regimes and cashless payment

On Friday 3rd July, I took ownership of a piece of Bournemouth Transport history in the form of Dennis Dart - M455LLJ. Now undergoing some repairs and a new MOT. Such a rare, fine example and I am pleased to be offered the opportunity to continue its life in preservation.

A 12 year life of 455 in short! A rare production line photo at East Lancs Coachbuilders in early 1995, followed by the photo shoot & launch of the new Dennis Dart for Yellow Buses at Mallard Road, with the final photo in September 2007 as 455 left Yellow Buses in Yeomans Way.

Oh the joys! Great start to the day when an email like this lands in your inbox. We need to see HM Govenememt urgently changing the messaging as the bus is probably cleaned more thoroughly than a rental car!

Took 455 out for a spin today, back to her old home at Yeomans Way... Put a smile on a few faces down there! Marc Reddy would you happen to have any diagrams of the Super 17 route branding?

This afternoon was spent on a few small jobs and a deep clean on 455 after some considerable time in storage. The cab is clean, all the glass cleaned, panels, poles and ledges wiped, with the floor, seats and upholstered areas vacuumed and all mopped out!

Yesterday, I took 455 out on a day out to Exmouth with a few others to meet up with the bus rally team & other ex Bournemouth Transport buses. Still, even miles from home, people see them and come over to take photos and share memories. #iconic
