HELSINKI & TALLINN JULY 2013 - Frank Bagshaw

Pub tram - Helsinki

Tallinn

 Whilst in Helsinki, Frank took the ferry to Tallinn. Frank saw some T*****ybuses (had to be blanked out as I couldn't possibly put one on this blog!) - so positioned himself to photograph the articulated ones, twice he lined up for a shot when a normal diesel bus came by and ruined the view. Took him 30 minutes to get a decent photo!

SURPRISE ON LISBON ROUTE 28 THIS MORNING 14 JULY 2013 - Luis Vieira

This morning the route 28 was being run by minbuses.  No reason given but the weather until today has been very hot.  They don't look right running through Alfama on the cobbled streets.  Hopefully it is just a temporary replacement.
