Fleet Digest Images

15/12/2020

We have received a few comments that the images in Fleet Digest look 'soft' or 'blurred'. This is not the case but is caused by the PDF document being saved as a lo-resolution file.
We have looked at the options and whether we can improve the documents but we can only update documents smaller than 1MB to the SKM site, which is why we have had to split a couple of issues of Fleet Digest into two parts.
The original file for the 22 pages of Fleet Digest 14 comes out at almost 50MB when saved as a hi-resolition print quality PDF.
We hope you will understand the we have to produce upload able documents within the constraints of our IT/Web contract.

Malcolm published this week’s Oxford & Chiltern Bus Page just after we had finalised Fleet Digest No. 9 so did not get the opportunity to include details. However, with another superb offering we couldn’t wait until the next issue of Fleet Digest to tell you what is included.
Highlight for us at SKM this week is a superb selection of photographs showing the interior of the new Oxford Tube coaches with lots of additional information. If you have not visited the OCBP before it really is worth a look.

Included in this weeks’ news page is:
Editorial

Memories from Times Past by Michael Wadman
