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.

Ah! It's an Monster Irizar!
If it still was a Golden Age of Coaching it seemed to definitely meet it's end with Deregulation as small operator's sold out to companies primarily running buses and the former NBC fleets either shed of demoted much of their coach fleet. But today it is a tough market as there is a huge difference between quality coaching and running a few old faithful workhorses doing schools contracts and on cheap excursions to The Dogs or days out to Blackpool. Buying a modern executive coach like this huge three-axel Irizar bodied Scania belonging to Solmar Travel of Walsall would definitely set you back a few bob and you would not be able to park it outside your house so it's hardly surprising that it's a task left to the experts.
