The Harrogate Bus Company operates both local and regional bus services in North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, England. It is a subsidiary of Transdev Blazefield
In July 2016, the company was again rebranded, now operating as The Harrogate Bus Company. To coincide with this, a huge fleet upgrade was undertaken, which included the introduction of the current two-tone red livery, as well as a refurbishment of the company's route 1 branded single-deck Wright Eclipse Urban bodied Volvo B7RLE vehicles to set the new standard specification of free WiFi, USB charging capabilities and audio/visual next stop information. Other Wright Eclipse Urban vehicles were transferred from some of Transdev's other subsidiaries to replace the older Wright Renown bodied Volvo B10BLE single-decker vehicles which were branded for the route. 2016 also saw the launch of 14 new high-specification Wright Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5TL double-deck vehicles on the route 36, replacing the older Wright Eclipse Gemini vehicles. The 36 also received its own new brand “ Riding Redefined “ as well as a new two-tone red and black livery. In July 2017, a new brand was introduced for the route 770/771, which saw the services become renumbered alongside the new brand name known as Superior 70/71. A fleet of Wright Eclipse Urban 2 bodied Volvo B7RLE single-deck vehicles were transferred from Transdev's operations in Burnley and refurbished to equip them with WiFi, USB charging capabilities and audio/visual next stop information. The new fleet entered service on the route on 23 July, eventually replacing the entire fleet of Volvo B10BLE Wright Renown vehicles, which then left the fleet in 2018. In April 2018, due to the loss of council funding for the 70 to Connexionsbuses, the 71 was again renumbered and rebranded, now known as Simple 7.
In partnership with DalesBus, the service between Harrogate and Skipton was reintroduced in May 2021

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M0MBAH - Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London, England, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and a burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066, all coronations of English and British monarchs have occurred in Westminster Abbey. Sixteen royal weddings have occurred at the abbey since 1100
The church was originally part of a Catholic Benedictine abbey, which was dissolved in 1539. It then served as the cathedral of the Diocese of Westminster until 1550, then as a second cathedral of the Diocese of London until 1556. The abbey was restored to the Benedictines by Mary I in 1556, then in 1559 made a royal peculiar”a church responsible directly to the sovereign”by Elizabeth I.
The abbey's two western towers were built between 1722 and 1745 by Nicholas Hawksmoor, constructed from Portland stone to an early example of a Gothic Revival design. Purbeck marble was used for the walls and the floors,
Further rebuilding and restoration occurred in the 19th century under Sir George Gilbert Scott. A narthex (a portico or entrance hall) for the west front was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the mid-20th century but was not built
On 11 June 1914, a bomb planted by suffragettes of the Women's Social and Political Union exploded inside the abbey
On 17 September 2010, Pope Benedict XVI became the first pope to set foot in the abbey, and on 29 April 2011, the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton took place.
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries were created in the medieval triforium. This is a display area for the abbey's treasures in the galleries high up around the nave. A new Gothic access tower with lift was designed by the abbey architect and Surveyor of the Fabric, Ptolemy Dean.

The subject captured here is London icons, red bus, big ben, houses of parliament on the river Thames, England, UK, SW1A 0AA. Further facets of the scene include London visitor economy, historic London streetscape, visual archive, historical comparison, city branding, local history, before-and-after reference, Westminster landmark, place identity, changing streetscape, London cityscape, Thames city view, documentary photography, and iconic London transport. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into housing pressure and urban mobility, not least because of how familiar London symbols function as global shorthand for Britain. Future viewers can use this scene from the recorded location to compare materials and architectural details with whatever follows after closure or conversion. The subject also sits alongside urban tourism, capital landmark imagery, social history, contemporary social history, regional identity, changing land use, metropolitan identity, and capital-city heritage. References to icons, river, houses, parliament, and Thames give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. By fixing the subject within the recorded location, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. Another useful connection is housing pressure and how familiar London symbols function as global shorthand for Britain within the real-world context of the recorded location. The scene further reflects air quality and how familiar London symbols function as global shorthand for Britain within the specific setting of the recorded location. The scene captures details of everyday use as a date-specific reference.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JBXJFM - . An on-location photograph from Stamford New Road, Greater Manchester, England, UK, WA14 1BL in 2022, showing the named subject as part of a wider social, commercial, cultural or physical setting rather than as an isolated object. The main point of reference is Altrincham Interchange sign (Metrolink and national Rail), with Station House Office block, in the background, Cheshire, England, UK,. Other connected aspects include documentary photography, public information signage, instructional sign, route marker, archival record, freight wagon, before-and-after reference, wayfinding system, passenger railway, orientation signage, community noticeboard, rolling stock, station environment, and train operations. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into decarbonisation and reliability, not least because of the continuing importance of rail to regional connectivity. Today's relevance is strengthened by clear communication, inclusive design and the continuing question of the way signage becomes part of local visual identity. Future viewers can use this scene from Stamford New Road, Greater Manchester, England, UK, WA14 1BL to compare building condition and alterations with whatever follows after changing commercial priorities. A second descriptive layer includes trackside history, operational signage, place identity, public-facing notice, social history, industrial railway heritage, regional rail, and changing land use. Details involving Interchange, Altrincham, Station, block, and Office make the image more specific than a generic view and strengthen its local or historical value. The wider setting at Stamford New Road, Greater Manchester, England, UK, WA14 1BL matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. The scene captures a point of historical comparison for future local research. That local specificity strengthens the long-term documentary value of image 2JBXJFM.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHB6XH - . Recorded at Southwark station , London Underground Ltd., 68 - 70 Blackfriars Rd, London, England, UK , SE1 8JZ in 2018, the image fixes a recognisable subject and its environment at one point in time, giving later viewers a reliable basis for comparison. The scene records Southwark tube station, London Underground Transport, south London, integrated city centre transport, England, UK. The image also relates to everyday street life, contemporary city life, freight wagon, pedestrian environment, passenger railway, railway heritage, industrial railway heritage, rolling stock, local history, everyday life, public transport network, local character, contemporary social history, and rail infrastructure. The modern context includes continuing discussion of station investment, reliability and how historic rolling stock documents the industrial railway. For current editorial use, commercial change and footfall provide additional context, especially through how ordinary street scenes become valuable records as businesses and infrastructure change. The image fixes transport arrangements and footfall within Southwark station , London Underground Ltd., 68 - 70 Blackfriars Rd, London, England, UK , SE1 8JZ at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against new ownership. The wider setting retains connections with changing land use, city-centre activity, urban change, community life, before-and-after reference, trackside history, regional identity, and historical comparison. References to centre, station, Underground, Transport, and Southwark give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. Around Southwark station , London Underground Ltd., 68 - 70 Blackfriars Rd, London, England, UK , SE1 8JZ, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. The photograph keeps evidence of earlier appearance before later change alters the scene.

Fifty-three is the 16th prime number. It is also an Eisenstein prime, and a Sophie Germain prime. The sum of the first 53 primes is 5830, which is divisible by 53, a property shared by few other numbers.
Fifty-Three is the atomic number of the useful halide iodine, also the racing number of Herbie, a Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of his own, first appearing in the 1969 Walt Disney Film film, The Love Bug. For direct calls to Cuba, the code is +53.
The 53 bus is one that I often travelled on, getting me from Belle Vue, to my first job in Higher Openshaw, Manchester. Bernard Manning described the 53 as the longest bus route in the world, connecting 'Africa with Jerusalem'. That would be due to the route taking in Moss Side and finishing in Cheetham Hill and Prestwich, old home of Manchester's orthodox Jewish community.
Manning was born in the Ancoats district of Manchester, Lancashire. Often reviled as a racist comedian, he had Russian Jewish ancestry on his father's side, as well as roots in Ireland, and was brought up a 'strict Catholic'. He named his house in Alkrington, Greater Manchester, 'Shalom', the Hebrew word for 'peace.'
Manning owned the Embassy club in Harpurhey, Manchester and performed mostly there from the 1980's. I remember one Friday night there with a group from work, after a wormy salad at the Barnaby Rudge. A good work mate from Moss Side was with us and got hassle from Manning for a lot of the night. If we did it again, we would have gone to Pips instead.

This is commemorated in April every 28 years with the recitation of Birkat Hachama, the blessing of the sun.

In the mid-2020s, heritage conservation and redevelopment pressure keep this subject current, particularly through the contrast between historic fabric and modern development.

The wider local story also touches on built heritage, period building, contemporary history, everyday Britain, historic townscape, local history, community identity, and documentary photography. Elements such as tickets, Please, Greater, deposit, and Piccadilly add documentary specificity and may become useful when the scene is compared with later records. The surrounding context at Manchester, England, UK matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. That also gives the frame relevance to heritage conservation and the contrast between historic fabric and modern development without losing the local specificity of Manchester, England, UK. Another useful connection is embodied carbon and the contrast between historic fabric and modern development in a form that can be compared with future views of Manchester, England, UK. The frame therefore remains a dated reference for Manchester, England, UK and the changing story of the subject shown.

Rock &
Roll - 'Ian Dury' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Up there in my all time top 20 this old Stiff records track. I still have an orange vinyl BUY17 in my loft with 'Razzle In My Pocket' on the B-Side. Only two members of Ian Dury and the Blockheads appear on the record, the song's co-writer and guitarist Chas Jankel and saxophonist Davey Payne. Dury started out in the early 70's in pub rock band, Kilburn &
The high Roads
Released as it was in the height of the popularity of punk rock, the song was misinterpreted (as it is often is to this day) as a song about excess as its title and chorus would suggest. Although the single was banned by the BBC, a number of Radio 1 disc jockeys, including Annie Nightingale and John Peel, continued to promote the record by playing the mildly salacious B-side 'Razzle In My Pocket'.
Dury himself, however maintained that the song was not a punk anthem and said he was trying to suggest that there was more to life than a 9-to-5 existence (such as in his track-by-track comments in the sleeve-notes of Repertoire Record's Reasons To Be Cheerful: The Best Of Ian Dury &
The Blockheads compilation). The verses themselves are at times somewhat riddle-like, although always suggestive of an alternative lifestyle:
Here's a little bit of advice, you're quite welcome, it is free
Don\u2019t do nothing that is cut-price, you'll know what they'll make you be
They will try their tricky device, trap you with the ordinary
Get your teeth into a small slice, the cake of liberty.
Stiff Records organised a joint tour on a train, for Nick Lowe, Ian Dury, Wreckless Eric, Larry Wallis and Elvis Costello, five of their biggest acts at the time with the intentions of having the bands alternating as the headlining act. Ian Dury and the newly formed Blockheads soon became the stars of the tour, which cost far more than expected, almost bankrupting Stiff.
For a good intro to the late great Ian Dury, checkout the 'New Boots &
Panty's first album. I have a cherished gold vinyl pressing that has virtually had the groves worn out of it.

Route 98 was introduced on 18 July 1992 to replace route 8 between Willesden Bus Garage and Oxford Circus.
The 98 has always been operated by Metroline, based at the Willesden garage. It was initially operated using Routemasters on Mondays to Saturdays in the daytime and Dennis Darts, Metrobuses and Leyland Titans on Sundays and late evenings.
In early 2004, the 98 was one of the many routes in London that were converted from Routemasters to low-floor vehicles.
The 98 also has night service N98 that follows the route from Holborn to Willesden and continues via Kingsbury, Queensbury and Neasden to Stanmore Station.

The new modern, light and spacious Warrington bus interchange was built after 13 months of construction and opened August 21st 2006. The old unloved concrete bus station dated from the late 70's. Services from here serve most of Warrington and there are some other express services to Liverpool, London, Edinburgh, Bristol, Southend-on-sea and local airports.

Closure of the old bus station was marked back in 2005 by a 40-year-old bus which was the last to leave the station since it opened in 1979. Some 50 special guests with commemorative tickets were taken on a final tour by driver David Leigh.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED1MP - The black London Necrobus, haunted ghost bus tours, in Edinburgh old town, Scotland, UK, EH1 has the strength of a real-world scene: ordinary enough to be believable, but specific enough to support precise editorial use. The black ghost-tour bus uses Edinburgh's Gothic reputation as entertainment, selling graveyard stories, haunted streets and theatrical history against the backdrop of the Old Town and castle skyline. The subject works for tourism, dark heritage, visitor attractions, coach tours, city branding, Halloween features and the commercial appetite for spooky versions of urban history. The location detail, Edinburgh, London, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. Relevant editorial themes include public transport, bus station, urban mobility and passenger interchange, with each theme rooted in the visible subject, place or activity. It can work both as a straightforward location record and as a wider editorial illustration of the habits, services, buildings, symbols and small commercial details that shape everyday life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B6C - Knightsbridge station London Underground subway England UK works as a grounded stock photograph because the subject is specific, legible and connected to wider social, economic or cultural themes. London Underground scenes are shorthand for the capital's density, speed and dependence on mass transit, whether shown as a busy carriage, station entrance or platform environment. The subject suits stories about commuting, crowding, safety, fare policy, accessibility, tourism, night-time travel and the tension between historic infrastructure and modern passenger demand. Low light, dusk or night conditions add atmosphere and make the subject useful for evening economy, safety and seasonal weather contexts. The location detail, London, Knightsbridge, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. Relevant editorial themes include railway station, passenger rail, train travel and public transport, with each theme rooted in the visible subject, place or activity. The scene has practical value for features needing authentic British or international street-level evidence, especially where policy, culture, business, tourism or social change is easier to explain through one clear example.
