• Meanwhile Anglianbus will also be helping out Western Greyhound following the awful fire there earlier this week - Mercedes Benz Varios 207 V227 KAH and 213 T400 CBC left for Cornwall today, whilst 217 V380 HGG will follow on Saturday. Andys Bus Blog
• Sophistication was brought low by the reference to what was, then, the "bottom end" of air travel. Luton was charter flight heaven (or hell!). Public Transport Experience
• For those unfamiliar with these reports or the heritage bus scene in the west of England BVBG stands for Bristol Vintage Bus Group who stage three public running days during the year at their Flowers Hill base in Brislington. One coincides with the main August running day based on the local park & ride site while the others are held at either end of the main season Transport Illustrated
• Saturday May 11th saw the reopening of the Devonport Column - its viewing platform closed to the public for 50 years - one of the landmark buildings in the architect John Foulston's early 19th century development of a Devonport civic centre on Ker Street. Devon History Society
