Not much transport related action this month.

Wasn't expecting to see any XC service today, however ex Avanti 221107 passed through Longbridge after I alighted my 730.
Working 1S47 to Newcastle. 🚂
With the first phase east side extension potentially opening in November, I'm interested to learn what the service patterns will be going forward.... 🤔
Anyways, Line 1 continues to operate with Tram 35 & 50 running between Wolverhampton & Edgbaston last weekend. 🚊🔷
Headed up to Sutton Coldfield today for the Bull trial....
Opted for Arrivas 110 so I could finally try out the ADL "seed" vehicle. 🚌
Very impressed, comfortable, very fast. Better than BYDs on the city bodies which NX operates.

Whilst out at Barnt Green a couple of days ago, some big progress has been made since I last here on the lifts installation here.
The lift towers are being assembled and the foundations for them are progressing well. 👍
This seems familiar 😁

Hello from Cloudy Blackpool 👋
Got a bit of time to kill so off to see some old friends 👀
Here a tram whilst waiting for mine up to North station.
A quick trip out to Northfield this afternoon to try out my (new to me) camera, Quite impressed with the results.
A range of the normal traction about as there was nothing special due through today 😂
I'm at the football that weekend so I'll avoid the train veg crowds 😂

The new "X20" to Bromsgrove didn't show this morning so my planned changed.... 🙃
So ended up in Halesowen instead... Some photos from the bus station. 🚌
It appears someone has graffitied all along this tram..... 👎😂
