Every man & his dog are on the bus! The Leicester Transport Heritage Trust organised a running day to celebrate the "100th Anniversary of Municipal Motorbuses in Leicester". Preserved heritage buses ran from De Montfort Hall to the old tram depot on London Road in Leicester, a 4.5 mile roundtrip. We are on the top deck of Fleet number 154 a Leyland Titan PD2 bus built in 1950. Happy Bench Monday (or is it Happy Bus Monday?) to everyone. Enjoy the start of the new week.

With just a light grey exhaust Ian Riley's Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 44871 cruises southwards through the complex ironwork of the Forth Railway Bridge on the The Forth Circle railtour. The train set off 22 minutes late from Linlithgow on the south bank west of Edinburgh and crossed the bridge northwards (before we arrived) to do a circuit around Fife. After calling at Edinburgh Waverley station it's final destination was Tweedbank on the reopened Waverley Route.
