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

Sunshine and Cloud in Blackpool

Well at least it wasn't raining and not too bright for photography either in Blackpool in the days when there were still plenty of Atlanteans and other Leyland buses to see. The Fylde buses of Lytham St Annes buses down the road were before too long to become part of the enlarged Blackpool fleet to give them more muscle in the face of competition in the fickle Deregulated market of the Nineties. Their biggest preditor was Stagecoach whose infamous stripes would soon adorn ECW bodied Olympian 2113 bound for Burnley in the east at the other end of Lancashire on the long 152 Service.
