Bee Network branded Northern Class 323 train at Cheadle Hulme railway station (August 2026)
A Bee Network branded Northern Class 323 train (323239) at Cheadle Hulme railway station in Greater Manchester on Thursday 6th August 2026.

| Northern Class 323 (323239) at Cheadle Hulme railway station |
This was the delayed 13:46 service from Crewe to Manchester Piccadilly.
The train had arrived at Cheadle Hulme at 14:20 ready for a 14:21 departure, but was delayed until 14:55.
I've only seen the Bee Network livery on this train at a station once before, at Stockport in April this year.

Vintage SELNEC bus in Stockport
Seeing a vintage bus in Stockport.
I saw this Leyland National vintage bus - in SELNEC (South East Lancashire North East Cheshire) livery - on the A6 Wellington Road South in Stockport this afternoon.
SELNEC was the Passenger Transport Executive in the area from 1969 until it was renamed Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) in 1974.
Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) itself ended in 2011 when it became part of Transport for Greater Manchester.

Heritage buses and coaches in Hunstanton
A look at some heritage buses and coaches in Hunstanton.
While walking around Hunstanton we spotted several old buses and coaches parked up at the bus depot.
They were very interesting to see.
The vehicles were on the 'Geoff Hanson Memorial Run' - an annual event in honour of local transport enthusiast Geoff Hanson. You can read more about the Geoff Hanson Memorial Run on the East Norfolk Bus Blog.
