Select a year

24/12/08	I have just tidied up the database a bit, removing some vehicles that appear to have been withdrawn. Merry Christmas to all visitors.
07/12/08	I have just managed to get 25 photos added, 24 of which were taken this year, and 1 from 1983. This takes the total photo count up to 2500.
04/11/08	Right, I have caught up with most of the fleet updates, including no less than 19 newly reported vehicles. Just a few odds and ends still to be done.
03/11/08	The second part of the latest photo update has added 20 pictures of vehicles operated by a variety of bus companies. Many of the vehicles are what you might call covert though! I will try and do a fleet update in the next few days, in time for the next TLB deadline. If you have anything new, now would be a good time to let me know. Cheers.
02/11/08	I have just added 25 recent photos of the central fleet (bus company stuff to follow soon). Included amongst these are a few of rail service stock, and I would be interested to hear how much interest there is in that sort of stuff.
12/10/08	Todays fleet update has added 17 newly reported vehicles, included several more '58 reg vans for Metrobus. I would imagine that these may replace some of the '53 reg Fords.
04/10/08	Special thanks to Kim and Ray for providing some interesting photos that form the bulk of tonight's update. The 27 pictures just added are all of vehicles in the numbered fleet.
20/09/08	Another 12 pictures have just been published, looking at the un-numbered central fleet, plus the bus companies.
16/09/08	Right, here they come! The first batch of 24 pictures covers the numbered central fleet. Un-numbered and bus company vehicles to follow later.
15/09/08	Another weekend gone and still no September pictures! I can only offer my apologies.....
11/09/08	I have barely had time to keep the site up to date recently but I hope to be able to post some of the many and varied photos in my inbox shortly. There are also some developments on the site in the pipeline although I have said that before...!
16/08/08	Another mixed bag of 25 recent pictures have just been posted, including probably the first electric vehicle to carry Tube Lines livery.
02/08/08	Thanks to a variety of contributors, I received over 100 SV photos during July. The first 8 of these have been published tonight. More will follow soon, along with the second half of the recent fleet data update.
07/07/08	26 photos have just been added, all but one of which were taken in the last few weeks, including the two recent open days. One minor enhancement is an indicator to show the first picture in each batch. This takes the form of a red triangle in the top left hand corner of the thumbnail image. The purpose behind this is to make it easier to browse all the pictures from the index page. On the index page, the images are sorted by vehicle ID and may therefore not be the same as the order in which they were added. Click on the first image, then use the 'next' link to go through the rest. So long as I remember, this feature will be included with each future batch and may also be applied retrospectively if it proves useful.
06/07/08	I have just made a start on adding some recent fleet data, covering the bus operators and other companies. Further vehicles and some pictures will be uploaded in the next few days.
22/06/08	10 new pictures have just been added (although 3 of them are over 45 years old!), while a fleet update has coincidentally seen 10 new vehicle records added. Apologies for the unknown fleetnumbers on several of these. The vehicles were observed to have numbers but they were not readable. Hopefully someone else can add the information later on.
04/06/08	A batch of 30 new pictures has just been added.
08/05/08	A couple of days later than planned, a batch of 25 pictures has just been published.
01/05/08	There has been no shortage of photo contributions recently (thanks to everyone for these) but there has been a shortage of free time on my part to catalogue and publish them all. So as to avoid having blank pages for May, I have added a single picture showing two of the new deliveries at Acton. Hopefully with a long weekend coming up I will be able to catch up with some of the rest.
09/04/08	A single picture has been added tonight showing recently delivered MB Econic dustcart WX57UMV.
01/04/08	A batch of 27 new photos should be appearing in the next few minutes, all but one of which were taken in the last six weeks. The pictures are from no fewer than 10 different contributors so thanks to everyone. I have been a bit busy lately so please be patient if you are awaiting a reply.
18/03/08	A couple of small improvements have been implemented tonight. On the Fleet Data selection page, a filter for vehicle status has been added. This defaults to 'All' but can also be used to show just vehicles that are current, withdrawn, preserved or re-registered. This finally allows lists of current bus company vehicles to be produced, although of course the data set is not particularly accurate. Secondly, the fleet list pages now include a column to show how many times a vehicle has been reported. This can be useful to quickly identify the 'rarer' examples. As an aside, 5585F seems to be in the lead with 53 sightings.
01/03/08	16 recent pictures have just been added, mostly taken at Griffith House and Lillie Bridge.
19/02/08	Another 15 pictures have just been added, most of which were taken in the last week. Unsurprisingly, the new IRU vans feature again!
02/02/08	I have just added 10 new pictures, two from the 1970s, one from the 1980s, and the rest from this week!
24/01/08	A rather interesting selection of 15 photographs has just been added, most of which were taken in the last week. There are many mulitple subject shots so, rather than using the Pictures index, it may be easier to start here and use the 'View Next Picture' links.
21/01/08	Thanks to Ray I have been able to add an icon for the new LBSL Incident Response Units.
19/01/08	10 pictures have just been added, mostly covering recent deliveries (such as the LBSL Incident Response Units) but there are also a couple from the 1990s. I have also uploaded the latest catalogue of card LT bus garage kits available from John Howe. This can be found under Articles.
02/01/08	Just 5 pictures added tonight, including one oldie. As always, thanks to everyone who has contributed photos or information during 2007. I may not acknowledge every item but they are all appreciated, and I look forward to receiving lots more during 2008.
