This is the ninth and penultimate run of my ‘advent calendar’ of quirky transport 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 and if an advent season of quirky e-mails in your inbox can support some worth causes, then good!

Transaid aims to transform lives through safe, available and sustainable transport, specifically improving access to health facilities and imporioving driver training.

Thanks, Dave
