Not really a post but it's something, for now.

Hello Bus Enthusiasts, 

You may know already I sprained my Anterior Cruciate Ligaments in my left knee playing football, right now I will be unable to walk without crutches until the new year. At least, that's if I don't aggravate it and play the beautiful game I love,which then I could rupture it and that would put me out of action until the 49 passes to Abellio. lol. Anyway, I'm sorry that some posts have been cancelled or suspended and I'm sure EastLondoner, Yebz & LB67 will do a good job in keeping you up to date with London Bus News if I am not here.

Yeah, if you don't know your slow but the successor of OMSI is to be released on the 12th December and I have planned a map for that route called West Central East. More information to come soon.

Well this is my first post since the announcement of Tranche 449 :D, we all know what happened to Tranche 449 but I'm not going to say no more until the London Bus Route 49 post.

I will also release a series within a series of the London Bus Route based on all the routes that come into Battersea bar the night routes. They will be out between Christmas Eve and the New Years.

I'm still alive!

Hey bus enthusiasts! Yeah it has been a long time since I last released a post but don't worry because there will be a lot of things coming from me in the next few weeks. Reason for my lack of posts is that my Dad moved to Milton Keynes temporarily, I've been re-designing the London Operator Game so it's easier to use (more on that in the near future) and I've been busy with a lot of school related work.

So what will happen by this time next month:

1. The London Operator Game will be updated. Expected 18/11/13
2. London Bus Route 170 will be out. Expected 22/11/13
3. VA64. Expected 1/12/13
4. FG49 plays European Bus Simulator. TBA
5. Christmas Observations - South-West - Part 1. Expected 14/12/13
6. Christmas Observations - South-West - Part 2. Expected 15/12/13
