This is the eight run of my ‘advent calendar’ of quirky transport images hopefully providing some unusual and interesting transport related images that may generate a smile or two on the run up to the busy and often challenging festive season... whilst also raising money for Crisis, the Railway Children and Transaid.

Transport is a fundamentally interesting image-friendly industry (accepting that road signs and railway tracks may not excite all of you all of the time) and if an advent season of daily e-mails in your inbox can support some worth causes, then good! Thanks, Dave
