LISBON CCFL MUSEUM TRANSFORMATION - Luis Vieira

On a typical cold and sunny January morning, I´ve visited once again the CCFL Museum at Santo Amaro.

After a considerable and adequate transformation of the space, with introduction of Metro (tube) section, and some recent withdrawn bus models, I found it much more attractive, organized, and interactive.

Lots of important changes remain waiting for better times, but I´ve really appreciated the update.

On your next visit, I believe it would be an excellent meeting with the history of public transport in this town.

MANCHESTER OLDHAM TOWN ROUTE OPENED ON 27 JANUARY 2014 - Martin Miller

Visited to Manchester to sample opening day through Oldham Town Centre. Photos 008,013 and 019 are in deepest Oldham. I hadn't sampled the Ashton extension and 053 and 055 show arrivals and departures. All in all a most pleasant day and the first opening day I have been present at!

Arrival and Departure

OLDHAM MUMPS ON FRIDAY 17 JANUARY 2014 - Keith Chadbourne

  I went to Oldham on Friday to ride the Mumps section for the last time and took these pictures. Two of cars crossing the main road, one waiting to cross the road which also shows the turn off to connect the Oldham town section and one of cars on test / driver training on the town section.

MANCHESTER METROLINK - Keith Chadbourne

   This week sees the end of Metrolink going to Oldham Mumps.On Monday 27th Jan they expect to be going through Oldham Town Centre. I was out yesterday taking some pictures on the Eccles route. There only appeared to be one T68 on that route which I rode out from Castlefield to Ladywell.

 

    I saw one other T68. As I was waiting at Castlefield to go to Eccles 1007 came through with "Not in Service" on the blind. Shortly after when I was Eccles bound it came past with Bury on the blind. I suspect from the time factor that it had turned back on the third track as Cornbrook.

 

The first two pictures were taken earlier. The one with the "changed" livery is actually in Old Trafford Depot yard.
