@BusManual I bet the majority of long-serving staff absolutely hated it! Just like the 1965 BR rebrand and LT 1970s changes!

NBC’s radical new uniform was designed to signal a break with the past and a decisive step towards modernity. The Manual has a tab for a section on uniforms which was never produced. Can you help? If you know more about the design/production of the NBC uniform, do get in touch.

@Keir_Starmer Start fracking and make they cheaper still!

This Labour government is making your energy bills cheaper.

@sarson_matthew @ZackPolanski Doctor Who was never going to win it.

@ZackPolanski He never would have won his seat in the first place if Labour didn't sabotage their own candidate. Its so shameful.

What do Nigel Farage's constituents really think is wrong with the country? I've been in Clacton today to find out. Video coming soon!

@paul_d_stevens @Sonlymetoo @ZackPolanski Thank God!

@Sonlymetoo @ZackPolanski Polanski doesn’t have a constituency: he’s not an MP.

@ZackPolanski The only current “fascist” threat to the UK is Net Zero fanaticism and radical Islamism - both of which is rampant throughout your members’ ranks.

@N_Wainright @ZackPolanski He’s not an MP, not likely to become one!

@ZackPolanski In the UK, parliamentary convention suggests that an MP visiting another constituency in an official capacity, especially for political or public events, should inform the local MP as a matter of courtesy. I presume you did that?

Leaf green - but which leaf? (Spoiler: none of these is right!) More from my experiments with matching shades of green to both the NBC spec from the Corporate Identity Manual, paint codes, NBC printed diagrams and the shades we know from photographs.

@mod_in_metro “retro” signs installed

@TfL Meanwhile this is acceptable? Transport for Khan?

Today we mark 80 years since VE Day. We honour those who served, including the transport workers who helped keep London moving during WWII. 🎖️ Their courage helped shape the network we’re proud to run today. #VE80Day #VE80

@BusManual I bet they despised the forthcoming new uniforms, that destroyed 50+ years of tradition.

NBC chair Fred Wood meets drivers Ray Faulkner (United Counties) and George Aitken (Yorkshire Traction) at the General Managers’ conference in Leicester, Oct 1972. They’d brought vehicles to display in the new identity. More on the blog -> nationalbusmanual.com/2022/07/19/a-r…

@BladeoftheS @markovenden They majored on Nuclear but in the UK the Reds and Greens opposed it all.

The UK has fully privatised Energy, the France fully nationalised. Any questions?

@BusManual I bet most staff would have prepared the centre design.

Though there was a ‘tab’ for them in the ringbinder, the Corporate Identity Manual’s pages on uniforms were never actually issued. Instead , you can read about NBC’s radical new uniforms for drivers, conductors and other staff here —> nationalbusmanual.com/2020/09/05/nat…

@Mikeashworth12 @BusManual @C20Society The Thatcher “legacy”.

SAVE LEWES BUS STATION - comments close 30 May. The actual building is described by the @c20society as “an excellent example of a small post-war purpose-built bus station in a county town”. You can register and comment/object here: planningpublicaccess.southdowns.gov.uk/online-applica…

@BusManual Windsor Country Bus running day

@BusManual The models never look like the staff who had to actually wear them.

@ShouldHaveCat Sorbet

@BusManual LT Lincoln Green and NBC white!

Underfloor heating is good.
