Had a great time at the @MoTGM Christmas event with @Ste_Jones75. As always, nice to see @StevenHughes129, @BradleyTS2004 and @rice_calum too.

Just as I close my winner list for Preston, more buses arrive With the recent arrival of Yorkshires Scania K230s to our depot means I’ve been battling to tick them. No fight today though as I’ve had 28673 and 28721 for my two Skiptons today. 28673 becoming my 603rd bus driven

It’s been a while since I’ve posted… 21158 has recently had a makeover, and debuted at @NWVRT’s annual Nocturnal Running Evening! I’m so proud of her, the money and time we’ve spent over the last few months has been worth every penny! Time to enjoy her properly now 😍

I'm always a sucker for getting reflection shots whenever puddles are at bus events. Some buses parked in the yard at the @NorthWestVRT nocturnal running day on Saturday. @rhys_stirling

A few of 4515 attending the Model Bus Federation’s meeting at Macclesfield on Saturday. She may have been out of place both little and large in the town, but certainly turned heads. 😍

Last night I got to drive something I never thought I would, well unless I was daft enough to buy one 😂😂 A little Dennis Dart, a bus I grew up with, albeit with the far superior Allison AT545 gearbox in the First examples. An absolute pleasure to drive, and 1 of only 15 left

The gorgeous looking E300 from @rhys_stirling and the Wigan bus preservation group. I look forward to seeing this one out and about at various events throughout the season. @enthusiast_bus @BradleyTS2004 @MarcJF241 @Ste_Jones75 @Guard_Amos

Presenting our new showbus! 22878 has been fully painted into our new brand, and is looking incredibly smart in her new ‘frock’ She’ll be on display at @NWVRT tomorrow, along with 69154
