Stagecoach Open Day at the Lillyhall Depot
Posted on
We recently visited the Stagecoach Depot at Lillyhall over in Cumbria. I’d visited before but that was prior to starting the YouTube Channel so I was looking forward to going back but this time with my camera. So here are the videos which are now all up over on YouTube. Looking around the buses and […]
Trainspotting at Newcastle Central Station and Buses at Gateshead Metrocentre
Posted on
Last weekend we headed to Newcastle upon Tyne and, since I’ve filmed the buses fairly recently, I decided to head to Newcastle Central Railway Station instead for a spot of trainspotting. Due to engineering works on the lines outside the station to the west, towards the Gateshead Metrocentre, all trains were entering and leave via […]
New locations and some trains – Doncaster and Leeds

Welcome to the site. It’s a brand new site to match the brand new name. Which naturally leads to the question, why the name change from Ians Bus Photos to The Transport Lens? Well it’s all wrapped up with how it all came about and how it’s changed in the last year or so. Ian […]
