2025 has been quite a year, busy all around but lots of places travelled to! I've added Copenhagen & Rotterdam to the international list, and the Lake & Peak District to the UK list! We've had plenty of sun this year, and hopefully there's lots more in the new year!

An early morning snap of London's newest night bus route! The N118 commenced in mid-January of this year, and being fairly local is a good evening connection into Central London. BDE47196 is pictured on Alexandra Avenue this morning on the last trip to Ruislip from Trafalgar Sq.

Just one @ADLbus Enviro200 remains in operation with First Bus London. DE20176 (YX11FZC) started local to me, replacing Dennis Darts on the Harrow routes, and now is the sole remaining Enviro200 in the fleet. It's pictured turning onto Twyford Avenue, Acton on route 218.

After a busy month, it's nice to finally have a sunny bank holiday weekend to rest! Bit of an outing into North London today and snapping a couple outstanding bits on the growing list, more electrics enter service across London but younger diesels and hybrids continue on!

The diesel @ADLbus Enviro400 is a rather rare type in West London, as the electrification of London's bus fleet continues & hybrids are favoured to replace them. Less than 30 remain at Metroline, as pictured with TE1311 (LK12AWA) as it headed to Hayes, Prologis Park on route U4

A new type to the London scene is the BYD B12, currently operated by Arriva London and Metroline. A sibling to the decker variant, the BD11, these remind me of a small whale with its humped shape! Pictured are a few on route 268 in Finchley Road, Belsize Park & Golders Green.

After just over a week in Hong Kong, it's time to head back home! It's been lovely spending some time in the sunshine snapping a couple of buses, and seeing relatives. Couple of bits ticked off too, including the @ADLbus Enviro500EV and the 1933 Retro livery on a few KMB buses!
