Favourite photograph from main site

Liverpool Street

I made this topic to leave any links to favourite pictures from the main site.

My personal favourite has got to be the bottom photo of 1406

To see a bus caught in action like that, running back dead I presume, brings back early memories of TWM for me, with the Scanias and Metros leaning right over as you couldn't care less on the run back to depot!!

I always liked this one of Thandi OSV 677, due to the Green Bus Metrobus sneaking into the background

This is also a nice montage

There is also a photo somewhere of 3 Enviro400s in the 3 different NX liveries side-by-side somewhere, but I wouldn't know where to find it

Bottom picture of 4501, seems crazy how much everything has changed in the last 9 years, and remembering when they were both new like it was last week!

I like the picture above too...

I've seen a dot display stuck on "Sorryvice" before which was quite apt, given it was a WN Trident

Not my favourite (too tricky to decide), but one of my faves is this bottom photo on this page http://wmbusphotos.com/NXWM/4475-4699/4658.html Takes me back to the good old days when the Geminis sounded new, and the TVs showed something other than CCTV! I also like the fact you can just make out some of the second branding on the bus to the left. I also think the geminis looked nicer in this livery :(

That branding is superb, it would be nice if they build on the circle idea next time they brand buses for the Outer Circle

Oh I agree Matt. I'd go as far to say TWM in its prime was the best livery, best branding buses to date.

I agree also a very smart branding, but the problem is when windows and panels were replaced, the branding was not replaced(like now!) and it looked a right state.
