As they appear now -- for the historic Eastbourne buses, and heaps more, see the book Wellington Transport Memories. On the right is a 2005 MAN 17.223 with a 2003 model next to it.  On the left is a 2012 Alexander Dennis Enviro 200.

FEVE railcar fuego

Readers of our books will know that the NZR Fiat railcars were known for occasionally catching fire, so here's a little incident in the Galicia region of Spain that recalls the scenario.

From this webpage: The train that left Ferrol at 8.20 am bound for Oviedo suffered a fire shortly before nine in the morning, and stopped at Labacengos, in Moeche. The two travelers in the affected car exited without problems.

The first to arrive were workers from the Moeche City Council, who used fire extinguishers to put out the fire, until firefighters arrived.

The event forced a cut in train circulation for more than four hours, until 13:15, when the burning machine was transferred to the station of Cerdido. It affected seven services and users were transferred by road. Around two in the afternoon train circulation was restored.

ERF B Series truck art

Probably a late 1970s model, a painting by Alan Spillett and likely commissioned by the firm. Although in Danish ownership, the truck is clearly being driven on a British Road.

2006-2014 Mitsuoka Orochi

Those were the production years for this sports car with a distinctively strange grille. "The car takes its name from the mythical Yamata no Orochi 8-headed Japanese dragon."
