What happened on your bus journey? Nothing much - me too! Documenting my (very ordinary) bus travel.
Bus ticket marked for Monday 29th Dec held up on a grey bus when it’s night outside
Finally, another bus journey - 45 from outside the British Oak in Stirchley about 6.30ish. Unremarkable journey, nothing to report.

Inside of a West Midlands Train with grey seats
This is not a bus.
Conductor at the Birmingham New Street barriers recognised the daytripper and let me through, very simple. 29/12/25
Bus lane fines are easy to avoid and are reinvested back into transport. It's currently paying towards recent Iron Lane junction improvements, decluttering of Broad Street, Dudley Road improvements, further bus lane enforcement cameras and the upcoming A38 cycleway extension.

Daytripper ticket for today held whilst in a bus
Bit of an adventure today - buses and trains! Got a daytripper ticket: under £9 for bus, tram and train travel after 9.30am. Confused the driver a little, who thought I wanted just the bus ticket but got there in the end.

Three shopping bags at a bus stop
Took a pile of stuff on the no 11 bus to the charity shop (called ahead to check they wanted the stuff). As I got off, a man in workmen’s gear carrying a load of tools got on the bus. 22/12 2.15ish

Grey bus pulling up to a bus stop
This was the 47 from Stirchley up the hill at about midday 21/12. Three of us got on with shopping. There was a chat about the amount of pizza in the supermarket. Aside from that, unremarkable

Grey inside of a bus
No.45 bus from Hawksley to Stirchley, via Kings Norton and Cotteridge, on Sunday 21st Dec at 11.25am. More folk got in the bus than in this photo. The worst rubbish I saw was a lost gift tag from someone’s Christmas present, I hope it still gets to them.
