15 march 2010 - Oxford, Queen Street. On one hand the council in Oxford is very progressive when it comes to public transport. They built large P&R places, they made the operators reduce the number of buses in the city centre due to congestion, and they pedestrianised this bus-only street in the centre. On the other hand, they do not think about electric public transport at all - attaching the wires to the historic buildings or constructing poles in the narrow streets in the centre. And sadly - as the photo shows - when you have pedestrianised areas with buses the pedestrians always prefer to get into the shot rather than walk on the 'roadway'.

6 march 2010 - London Borough of Islington, Newington Green. As there are few little ugly ones like this one left in London I decided to take a pic of it. The location is one of the better addresses in London, wanted mainly by people wanting to live somewhere a little away from it all. Even though Newington Green used to be in Zone 2 when buses used to be zoned, the nearest tube stop is around a mile away.

Dennis Trident / Plaxton President #TNL33092

6 march 2010 - London Borough of Islington, Mildmay Park. For over half a year the North London Line has been shut east of Gospel Oak to allow for the construction of a second set of tracks for the East London Line between Highbury & Islington and Dalston Kingsland. In the meantime the inhabitants of north-east London need to travel on a bus replacement service operated mainly by First's Plaxtons left over after tenders for routes 10, 23 and 476.

6 march 2010 - London Borough of Camden, Rosebery Avenue. That's what the new versions of the cult symbols of London look like. However, while the new TX series taxi still looks more-or-less nice and remains true to its original, the Enviro400 doesn't look anything like the Routemaster - it isn't even pretty. Nevertheless, it is a beauty queen compared to what the new Routemaster will look like: A New Bus for London

Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 / Optare Olympus #DOE29

26 september 2009 - London Borough of Croydon, Wellesley Road. Actually this bus is quite OK on a Dennis chassis - however people, who live next to the routes operated by Olympians on a Scania chassis must probably really complain about the noise. When I worked in an office on the 2nd floor with windows above Oxford Street the noise was really severe only when a No. 7 bus ran underneath.

In any case, I wonder what would happen if the next tender for the 29 was won by a different company - would Arriva let them turn around in their depot?

30 august 2009 - London, City of Westminster, Piccadilly. Oh I will miss these... And once again a round of applause is due for Boris Johnson for creating another public transport monster. According to http://www.londonbusroutes.net the new route 38 currently has a PVR of 70 double-deckers, and the cost of all this is around £4m a year. The owner of the bendies has such a massive problem with selling the large stock of 5-year-old bendies, that they even put up a website - http://www.bendy-bus.com, where they even offer rebuilding the buses for left-hand drive. Anyone in Silesia up for it? :)

Volvo B7TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini #VLW89

6 march 2010 - London Borough of Camden, Holborn / Theobald's Road. And here we have a perfect example of why Arriva got taken over by Deutsche Bahn. They are the biggest company within the TfL network, and it is also one of the smaller companies within the Big 5 (Arriva, First, Go-Ahead, Stagecoach, NatEx) outside of London. The profit margins in London are much smaller than in the deregulated 'provinces', whereas the market is less safe due to the tenders, where Arriva sometimes wins, and sometimes loses. Plus there's the vehicle procurement policy, which... doesn't exist! When they threw themselves into the tender for route 242 they completely didn't think about the vehicles. As a result, the route is served by Wrights on Volvo chassis, Enviro 400 on Dennis chassis, and older Wrights hauled in from other depots. Maybe the Germans will create some sort of order in all this mess?

Scania CN230UB 4x2 EB #574

5 march 2010 - Crawley, Southgate Avenue. We waited with Dave for three buses at this spot - only ONE of them used the bus lane at all. What for anyway? The bus lane is 100m long, so most of the day the buses don't really need to slow down to 10km/h to get into the guided portion, whereas the traffic jams caused by halving the road capacity at this sport cause the buses to actually run slower in the peak than before.

Scania CN230UB 4x2 EB #580

5 march 2010 - Crawley, London Road / Crawley Avenue. Dave Vigar's local area is inhabited by this silly example for how rubbish Bus Rapid Transit can be. On the 10km-long route 10 (Gatwick Airport - Bewbush via Crawley) there is a total of 200m of guided bus lanes (two sections ca. 100m each) - which buses don't generally tend to use. Also, one of the streets leading to Bewbush has been designated as bus only (read: the bus was artificially made faster), and one of the roundabouts on the northern by-pass was modified like so. The effect of this is that buses have to stand twice at a red light (before the roundabout and here), unlike other vehicles, which only need to stop once. All works were financed by the local council.

21 february 2010 - Alexandria, Sherif street. A procession of Duewags slowly runs down an interesting portion of the network - the traffic runs here only one-way (look on the left side). Since Moharram Bey street is being reconstructed, almost all the routes on the western side of the network terminate on a single track loop next to the rail station. As you can see large traffic jams occur.

20 february 2010 - Alexandria, Tomourt. Due to trackworks between the railway station and Moharram Bey depot, the section between Moharram Bey and El Nozha was served by two shuttle routes. From Moharram Bey depot to Italy there is nowhere to switch tracks, so there are two trams shuttling back and forth, one on each track (one of these is in this picture). At Italy there is a triangle, where the shuttles to El Nozha turn around.

20 february 2010 - Alexandria, Karmuz depot. Since the president of Egypt decided to disallow the import of used tram cars, Alexandria has a bit of a problem. On one hand there is neither any money to buy new low-floor trams nor to modernise the tracks accordingly; on the other hand they can't buy used trams which would be appropriate for this network. The only solution - until Khosny Mubarak either changes his mind or kicks the bucket - is to modernise existing vehicles. You are therefore looking at the skelet of a Duewag built locally.

19 february 2010 - Alexandria, Karmuz depot. Alexandria has two tram networks. One of them, called Ramleh lines, is basically one line that runs along the coast. The other (Medina) is the rest of the city tram network. On the Ramleh lines trams use normal pantographs, on the Medina line they still have trolley poles. Two routes (25 and 36) run on both networks - for these APTA rebuilt some Kinki Sharyo cars by adding pantographs.

19 february 2010 - Alexandria, Karmuz terminus. And so we made it to the tram loop, next door to one of the three tram depots in Alexandria. The attitude of the staff towards us couldn't be more different than in Cairo - seeing the Danish guys they immediately bade us welcome, invited us for tea, and showed us around the whole depot. Oh, and all they wanted in return were keyrings from Skjoldenaesholm. If you would thus like to walk around the tram depots in Alexandria, I suggest investing a bit of money in producing keyrings with Duewags - satisfaction is guaranteed :)

On a quiet Friday morning (it's a holiday in Islam after all) an ex-Copenhagen Duewag runs into the centre to find a group of European tourists at the terminus, who are clicking pictures wildly like the Japanese on speed :) Since one of these tourists happened to be the head of the Danish Tram Museum in Skjoldenaesholm (a local celebrity), once we entered the vehicle we were treated to a quick lesson in driving for the second time in Egypt. The lesson would have been more interesting though, had it not been for the nervous driver, who did not let us go beyond the series notches...
