Welcome to 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.

From this team page, you can choose which charity to donate to. If you'd like to donate to more than one then you'll need to navigate back to the main team site or go via one of the specific calendar links... a little bit of a faff, but it'll be worthwhile.

Thanks very much, Dave
