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.

Dusseldorf Tram
I always found the West German trams very impressive and modern looking. Viewed in 1982 I guess as the one's in Cologne were red and cream this green tram must have been working in Dusseldorf.
Hallo, this photo has been taken at the tramstop "Rudolfplatz" in Cologne. It shows Tram 3038 running eastbound to Brück and will soon cross the city center of cologne. It is a rare shot, and it should be really difficult to find the same place now, bacause the eastbound tracks have been deverted in the middle 80th into a parallel running street more south, so that a one-way system for cars and trams could be craated. Very close right just out of the frame of this photo an old part om a gate "Hahnentor" - part of the old wall around is situatet. Most tram photographers used the opposite position to create photos of trams together with that old gate. I hope to help you tramfan239
