Many know my more recent genre Buses and Girls photography as those earlier buses I really like have all gone so now I enjoy my bus hobby more for the photography. As well as being an artist I owned a small transport business before I retired but today I have a little job too driving a minibus dong a school run to Wolverhampton in the afternoon and occasionally other jobs. It gets me out and about and satisfies my childhood ambition to drive a bus.

Just childhood memories or real gems?
Some buses are so interesting they are always worthy of a snap or two. But it's better still when not only are they local we photographed them in childhood just because they were there. Because they were so familiar to us I'm sure I'm not the only person who never made mages of old bus friends because we took them so much for granted. Although Frank Hornby's Dinky Toys made thousands of them the Duple Roadmaster body in real life was a rarity. Greatrex Tours of Stafford bought this Leyland Royal Tiger in the early-Fifties which made the Bedford OB parked alongside seem very mundane indeed.
