suzyscottdotcomNow to play catch-up before I start all over again this coming week!
Friday 22nd August - I left Royston on a Stagecoach Cambridge DayRider+, for one last travel on some of the current Huntingdon & Fens network before the changes this weekend. So, to Cambridge on the 26, to Huntingdon on the 554, St Neots on the 566, meet up with Bob (another admin from ABF), X5 to Madingley Road P&R, red P&R bus (77) to The Grafton (shopping centre), walk back to Drummer Street for the 26 back to Royston. An enjoyable day - a bit shorter maybe, but I enjoyed shopping out around the city! See all the pictures here.
Friday 15th August - I've already blogged about that as part of our weekend away, click here for that entry.
Wednesday 13th August - another long day out on an Intalink Explorer, pushing back the boundaries to (once again) visit the most westerly point on the Arriva The Shires public network - Oxford. So, from Royston Bus Station on Centrebus 90 to Baldock, visit to the Intalink publicity bus, Herberts 391 to Stevenage, uno 634 to Hemel Hempstead, Tiger Line T1 to Lye Green, Wootten's Depot, then have a look around and meet Michael W, before taking the T1 through to Aylesbury, Arriva 280 to Oxford High Street, walk/hobble through the cobbles to Gloucester Green for some pictures, before getting Stagecoach X5 back to Cambridge Madingley Road Park & Ride, where C picked me up and drove back to Royston. A very enjoyable day, with lots of pictures - including some taken in the changeable wind and rain! See all the pictures here.
Tuesday 12th August - an early start with an 8-shaped twist! Started on the Arriva 331x from Royston to Hertford, uno 341 to Hatfield College Lane Campus, uno 602 to Watford High Street, Arriva TfL 142 to Stanmore Broadway, uno 615 to Hatfield Galleria, uno 636 to Luton Silver Street, walk through the shops, and then from Luton Church Street to Hitchin on Arriva 102, then Arriva 92 from Hitchin to Letchworth Station Road, and Centrebus 91 back to Royston. A day of changeable weather, so please bear this in mind with the pictures!
Monday 28th July - I mentioned here about my travels by Tiger Line, but the full day out was leaving the flat in Royston at 0540, to Royston Station for the 0600 train to Stevenage. Uno 635 and 634 to Hemel Hempstead, before sampling the first morning of Wootten's Tiger Line Service T1. I managed to sample and photograph all three Tigers in service, traveling between Hemel, Bovingdon Village, Hemel again, Chesham, and onto Aylesbury. From there, Arriva Line300 to High Wycombe, 305 to Uxbridge, then went to see Steve P in West Drayton. From there, he dropped me off back at London Heathrow Airport, and I took the Arriva GreenLine 724 back to Hatrfield Station, for one train through to Royston, getting back about 15 and a half hours after I started! Knackered after a long day in the heat (sunburnt too!), but a very enjoyable day! See here for all the pictures.
