On the subject of GBR signage @doublearrow64.bsky.social what is going on at Manchester Victoria?? @thebeautyoftransport.com Now Northern logos have appeared on *some* of the new signage (over the already covered Hexabees) and this sign on the stairs can get in the bin 😒

Kwasi Kwarteng's crypto company? When I was investigating Reform's financial ties a few months ago, drawing up a map of who was connected to whom, this was the biggest mystery. Nine years ago, aged 53, he declared himself "skint" because "there's no money in politics".
Only two years ago he was telling friends that he could not afford to run in the coming election. Then suddenly, his fortunes seemed to
and change utterly. How?
The likely explanation emerged this week: he was given E5 million by Christopher Harborne, a Thailand-based crypto billionaire and Reform UK donor. The money, Farage says, was a personal gift
disclosable. It was to pay for bodyguards, he said, making him "safe and secure for the rest of my life". But such protection costs are, at most, £300,000 a year. Farage was given a lifetime of financial security, clearing the way for his return to the political arena. Albeit with a lifelong feeling of debt to Harborne, who sits in a web of interlocking global financial interests.
The world of donors is one of sharks and angels. Many donors want to support causes (or people) they believe in, with no ulterior motive. But then there are the

And this is *exactly* what Reform would do here in the UK… join forces with this network of malignant power-brokers to bankrupt the people and enrich themselves… All in the name of representing ordinary people and dealing with their “legitimate concerns”. It’s intolerable.

I suspect this may be a drip-drip story from the Mirror over the next few days www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news... They are unlikely to the the only ones on the 2008 list, and the cross-referencing is straightforward.

Sometimes, opportunities come that are too good to pass, for reasons not everyone will agree with. Leyland Bus ceased to exist 33 years ago & parts will only become more scarce as time marches on. So we jumped at the chance to purchase SELNEC 7008, after it had fallen on hard times, for spare parts.

Photo shows a rear shot of former SELNEC Park Royal Leyland Atlantean double decker bus, 7008 VNB108L which was converted to open top by East Yorkshire Motor Services in the 1980s. Currently wearing an upper silver, lower maroon livery, the bus has some very good condition parts both bodily and mechanically which will be of tremendous use to the groups operational Atlanteans of a similar vintage.

Another fail... Salford Crescents new third platform had its new signs put up the other week. All in RA2 ofcourse. The platform planks had no double arrows. Well, someone must have thought they looked abit bare, they've all been done like this... @doublearrow64.bsky.social @thebeautyoftransport.com

Photo shows one of the platform name boards at Salford Crescent, originally just reading "Salford Crescent" in black text centred on a white background, now somebody has decided to bung a red "double arrow" symbol before the text, making the sign look somewhat off centre.

On Sat/Sun 6/7 June we're celebrating the 125th birthday of Queens Road garage, next door to our museum. And our friends at Bee Network & Stagecoach are helping by holding an open day at the garage on Saturday 6 June! Between the open day and the museum event it'll be a brill day out for the family.

A poster for the Queens Road garage open day publicises the things that will be happening at the bus garage at the open day on Saturday the sixth of June. There'll be guided tours of the garage, a look into the engineering workshop, heritage buses, and family activities.

Oh dear @doublearrow64.bsky.social it was going so well. Not sure what guidelines these have come from at Manc Vicc?! The grey dividers, the odd extra blank boxes and those arena ads can get in the bin 🙄🤦‍♂️ And yet Salford Central is point 🤷‍♂️

Picture shows recently installed platform station names at Manchester Victoria. Only the running in boards are meant to have the "double arrow" symbol. There is a patch covering the Bee Network bee and word mark (for reasons unknown as they are visible at other stations) the boards also include a green based advert for the AO Arena.

As part of the refresh of EX1 we have had its original number blinds remade. These are of the Mancunian style with sharp angles used by MCTD. The later curved numerals and blinds would come later. These (along with a replica via blind) have been expertly made by Blinds by PWC and Peter Watts.

Paging @doublearrow64.bsky.social someone has picked up version 3 of the Wayfinding guidance in the North West! Salford Central has had its second resign in 18 months and looks much better for it.

Picture shows the running in board at a train station in Salford. It is a white plank with a red BR double arrow and "Salford Central" in Rail Alphabet 2 typeface. This is the 1st board at the station and according to version 3 of the wayfinding manual, this is the only point on a platform that a double arrow should appear.
