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.

Newport Borough Transport
In the Seventies many operators were growing more dissatisfied with the choice and reliability of the vehicles they were more or less forced to buy off British Leyland and other manufacturers were keen to take advantage of this disquiet. MCW did a deal with Scania to build complete buses in the UK and Newport became a loyal Scania customer. Later buses included this batch of nine Wadham Stringer Vanguard bodied single-deckers. This combination was rare as the bodybuilders products were most usually found on non PSV buses belonging to the Police, Armed Forces, Social Services and the like.
