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

Basel Trolleybuses


The last thing you consider when you think of Switzerland is industry but of course it does exist. Because of Basel's location on the the River Rhine and close proximity to both France and Germany it is of great importance, and the city has a very grey gritty feel when compared to Zurich which seems to sparkle in the sunshine. Although it has an extensive network of tram routes trolleybuses are confined to a couple of routes, and in 1989 the vehicles used were starting to look elderly.
