Welcome to the June 2016 edition of Busmopolitan.

A variety of happenings this month, ranging from thunderstorms affecting local bus and rail services, to a commemoration of step entrance double deckers.
Extreme weather overnight on 22nd/23rd June not only dampened EU Referendum voting day, but caused flooding, especially around south and west Essex and east London. Particularly hit were roads in Canning Town, Romford and Ongar, whilst the railway saw high water around Ilford and at Weeley. Train working was affected for up to 48 hours after the event, as signalling equipment had been damaged.
The start of the month, however saw “true” summer, with sunshine and high temperatures. This was an ideal canvas for the Olympian Running Day, held by Stephensons on 4th June. As step entrance double deckers will become obsolete on public bus services from 1st January 2017; this Saturday gave the opportunity to sample Leyland and Volvo Olympians on routes which are normally now the province of low floor single deckers. Souvenier programmes were also available on the day, along with a “guest” vehicle.
June 2nd saw the demise of well know Norfolk coach operator Chenery Travel. Its vehicles were familiar in Essex on National Express (NX), private charter and rail work. The NX contracts have passed to Ambassador and Galloway (with assistance from Reliance of Gravesend, Talisman, Tower Transit), while the rest of the portfolio, along with school runs have been taken by other local operators; including Dereham Coachways, Dolphin of Norwich, Lamberts of Beccles, Semmence of Wymondham, Simonds of Diss.
Chenery was founded at Dickleburgh near Diss, 60 years ago. Latterly its main base had been at Long Stratton, although some vehicles were still kept at Dickleburgh, along with the associated garage business. In 2012, Chenery had sold its excursions department to Galloway of Mendlesham, although Chenery vehicles continued to be used. This division was called Chenery Live Limited.  Excursions liveried Setra S315 T777 RWC, is pictured (below) at Newbury Park on Abellio Greater Anglia RRP to/from Ingatestone on 21/2/16.

More routine happenings have seen more Abellio Greater Anglia railway rolling stock gain the new livery, making the old National Express and ONE schemes extinct on certain types of vehicle. And at Colchester and Harlow, buses are increasingly losing their old TGM colour schemes, in lieu of the new Arriva image.
Finally, St Johns Street in Colchester, reopened on 30th June, after a month of closure. This had been caused by the collapse of a sewer. The thoroughfare is a main bus corridor in Colchester town centre, and much disruption resulted. Approx 20 bus routes had to be diverted along Southway, and shop keepers experienced a slump in trade. The illustration shows the works on 8th June.

ABELLIO GREATER ANGLIA.
321304 is the first of the refurbished ‘Renatus’ EMUs to re-enter traffic.

Sprinter DMU 156407 now has ‘East Suffolk Line’ branding; 156409 publicises the ‘Wherry Lines’; 156412 now carries ‘Gainsborough Line’ branding.
E (paperless) ticketing was introduced from 17/6/16. It was rolled out across the network over the subsequent 4 weeks.
On 23/6/16, heavy rain flooded the tracks at Manor Park and Weeley, to a depth of up to 1 metre. As a result, trains were suspended on the Clacton and Walton lines, and from Witham to Liverpool Street. Southend line services terminated at Shenfield. There were shuttles on the Braintree, Harwich Town and Southminster branches, and The Sudbury branch ran normally. Later, a reduced (30 to 60 min frequency) train service was instigated from Liverpool Street, with some journeys starting from/finishing at Shenfield. AGA tickets were valid on C2C Rail and First Essex bus routes 25, 70, 71,72, 100, 351 plus TfL bus routes between Brentwood and London Liverpool Street (25, 86 ,174, 294, 496, 498).
Also AGA tickets could be used on suitable East Midlands, GTR and LUL train services.
Problems continued into 24th June. The heavy rain also damaged signalling equipment between Seven Kings and Ilford. As a result, limited train services remained in place until later that day. Some services continued to start/terminate at Shenfield, rather than Liverpool Street.
