WE ARE BACK THE LATEST FROM FRANCE

once more wasted load of time typing out blog ,to then lose it, bloomin American rubbish this Google lark. Well back from France this afternoon, got a head cold, well bunged up. Lousy weather, called at le Mans yesterday no trams running even on test Sat pm but best weather of trip.
our hotel at Clermont, bit Fawlty Towers but good food.
The second 'tram' line at Clermont Ferrand is actually new artic buses, the tram is actually a guided trolley, confused, don't complain to us, wonder what they'll com,e up with next, fairly sunny there Friday afternoon so got good shots, mainly cab rides, no hassle filming and no arrest in Marseilles.
in the city centre, lots of dossers about though, looked quite poor, home of Mitchelin tyres copmpany.
Terminus of guided trolleybus route.

HATE GOOGLE POSTING ABROAD

just typed whole post then lost it, now in Carcassonne, south of France; yesterday great time in Andorra, plenty of buses; today not many here but better in Perpignan. Tomorrow to Marseilles for the new tramway, hope I am not arrested this visit!

SUNNY ANDORRA FOR BUSES

well here we are in Carcasonne in south of France; yesterday a trip to Andorra; spectacular scenary. today cloudy and struggled to find many buses here although Perpignon was much better. Tomorrow to Marseilles for the new tramway lets hope I am not arrested this time!

greedy eh, want more Showbus

that all you are getting.
listened to BBC radio Humberside going over to Grimsby other day, spent whole time slagging off an interesting talk that evening on Ferries, Trams and Buses around Humberside. They though it well worth mocking, lets campaign to withold licence money from this station, ps only came on with the traffic report.

sunny old Showbus, Sunbus perhaps

eat your heart out rest of world, Showbus biggest and best in world, over 500 buses and coaches old and new, plus almost cloudless sky for much of the day, I topped up my sun tan, great days trading as well. Nearly ready for departure to France tomorrow lunch time.

not enough hours in the day folks, Showbus pics

frantic at home and work at present, Showbus last Sunday

CAMBRIDGE BUSES LAST SATURDAY

some Cambridge bus shots late pm on Saturday after our arrival delayed because of car breakdown

Today a meeting at Grimsby then pm stopped off in Lincoln to film and add to material on Grimsby and Scunthorpe. Bus Spot Lincol a possible soon. Then got stuck at accident on M62 near Milnrow, got home after 7pm.

Starting to pack for France and sort out documents etc, plus need to finish Showbus DVDs.

WHERE HAVE WE BEEN OH BOY

Leicester bus war, more like handbags at dawn compared to Preston I reckon, anyway scenes last Saturday after we finally arrived in Leicester after car fully loaded for Showbus broke down on A50, had to be towed in to Derby, ended up with Transit Van, arrived late afternoon in Cambridge, photos tomorrow. Great stay at Gt Wilbraham, the local has been taken over by a lovely young couple not like miserable old so and so that ran it for last few years, better ambiance and food. Showbus was Sunbus, nearly unbroken blue sky although chilly to start, superb day. masses of coaches and not so much vintage about but lovely to see so many familiar faces there.
Got home and found computer had a virus, cured that tonight, collected repaired car from Derby today. Just getting back into things ready for French trip starting Friday.

TRUCKS IN CYPRUS 1998 PMP DAVE SPENCER

a few truck shots in Cyprus from 98 and all that leaves me to do is enjoy a nice bottle of Chateauneuf De Pape with our roast tonight, up earlyish tomorrow, Leicester bus war filming then Cambridge pm. Showbus on Sunday, see as many of you there as possible, loads of new photos back from printers today.

BIT OF A NIGHT OFF
