This collection features photos I took at both Holyhead and Bangor, showing a variety of rolling stock and operators plus 67001 and 67003, which hauled the charter I was on to and from Holyhead.

Milton Keynes Central has recently seen rebranding with replacement of the obsolete Silverlink signage with new London Midland type. These look quite attractive and importanly are easy to read being in a clear, legible font.

Whilst waiting for the Holyhead Railtour and on the return, I took this collection of photos around Milton Keynes Central, showing various aspects of the new signage and Platform 5.

On my way to Swindon and Steam - The Museum of the Great Western Railway, I made a brief stop at Didcot Parkway. The nearby railway centre was having a 'Thomas' event and as always my time and Didcot was accompanied by a bitingly cold wind and variable weather!

In this collection, some FGW 165s, HSTs and a pair of EWS 66s and an 08.

Views at London Euston and Kings Cross stations and later at very wet Peterborough and Huntingdon on my journey home.

A departure from the railway collections, for this set from the Alton Bus Rally and Running Day held on 20 July 2008, run in conjunction with the Mid-Hants Railway.

Approximately thirty vehicles were in use on free bus services linking Alton Railway Station with the rally site at Anstey Park and offering trips to varied and wide destinations such as Basingstoke, Alresford, Medstead & Four Marks etc.

This was a very enjoyable day and it brought back many happy memories seeing Southdown VRs and Provincial Leyland Nationals in the liveries I remember!
