Your rail replacement bus will be late today due to a bushfire #thamesmead

Long day today - covered the 05:33 Windsor to Twickenham trip then standby at Twickenham, was busy doing runs. Here bendy bus 23065 is seen fitting in at Feltham station and picking up (nobody) at Windsor!

Collecting limited edition #ElizabethLine Oyster cards for peeps who can’t make it to town. Can’t wait to drive rail replacement on this line 💜

Something a bit different for rail replacement today. Mercedes Citaro MEC27, normally route bound to the 108.

Mercedes-Benz Citaro-G 23065 has been receiving attention. Hopefully back on the road soon - do like a bendy bus!

SPV1 having a thorough cleaning!

VLA176 is out on Newbury Park to Ingatestone rail replacement today. About to do its last rounder in service then entering retirement. Enjoyed working with it very much!

Frequent trips to the jet wash is part of running buses. Of the list of jobs to do it beats changing blinds!

Emergency rail replacement prep 😃

SPV7 has been delivered to Replacement Bus Hire. The plan is to MOT prep and test and revert registration to NK08 CHH. Meanwhile, SPV2 on the left sailed through MOT today after 5 months VOR and will be tidied up and prepped for service shortly.

SPV6 receiving attention today. Up on the roof to trace source of rainwater ingress, then had a thorough deep clean inside and out and removal of previous operator lettering. Enjoyable to drive!

Dear Southern , Please can you extend a commendation to the superstar member of your Train Presentation team at Littlehampton yesterday, for going out of his way to clear a mess made by a passenger on my bus, therefore allowing it to remain in service? Much appreciated.
