BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

Badgerline Swiftlink


Two Badgerline double-deckers head off out of Bristol in the Eighties. Most NBC Leyland Olympians had ECW bodies but some for one or two operators including London Country and Bristol Omnibus had a Roe version of the body which was easily identified by it's more rounded windscreen. Also on a 'Swift Link' limited stop service but to Bath where this small batch of MCW Metrobuses bought for evaluation was based was one of the five.

Yes the Deregulated large operators came up with some bright and attractive liveries before the major groups spoilt it all with their corporate garb. Sadly Bristol is First Group grey today.
