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.

G.H.Austin of Woodseaves
The Austin Family still run Happy Days Coaches but 'Austins of Woodseaves' is now a distant memory with it's fleet of mostly Leyland second-hand buses. At one time shortly after the war the fleet boasted fifty vehicles and even in the Sixties when this view was taken there was a small Stafford garage just out of view as well as a third one at Newport. A Favourite of mine was this Willowbrook bodied Leyland Royal Tiger with a Nottingham Registration OTO 63.
