While I work out whether I've missed anything significant, here's a few of my favourite photos from this year

The shuttle operation for the British Grand Prix was impressive to see, with a vast number of buses ready to move any sudden crowds, and bringing buses from across the country to the area
Back in London, several buses were wrapped for a McLaren live event

Another random highlight was a couple of trips to the south coast, with plenty of buses in colourful liveries, good weather and very convenient getting around with a Southern Daysave ticket

While I haven't published any train videos lately (mainly due to less variety these days, along with my bus videos generally being more popular), I still made many trips by train and of note this year was the (currently stalled) introduction of the DLR B23s while the 455s have almost all gone

Since the first were introduced very late in 2024, the BYD BD11 has gradually become more common across London, allocations including both regular routes through the new Silvertown Tunnel, while the first of the single deck B12s eventually entered service with Uno in September

New vehicle types on TfL's bus network this year were the Alexander Dennis Enviro100EV and 400EV

A selection of preserved buses seen at running days this year, based in Rickmansworth, East Grinstead, Eastbourne and Reading. Many interesting vehicles appeared at all of these along with the various other events in and around London

I found their seats to be okay but not any better than that, though my only time beyond Reading on an 80x was one return trip to Bristol, so still not a particularly long journey
Haven't travelled on LNER's yet either
