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.

Old Zurich Trams: Childhood Memories for a Grown-Up
I have to confess I'm not an expert when it comes to trams but I do quite like them especially the older machines, and of the one's I've known this series of vehicles built in about 1949 for VBZ of Zurich really caught my imagination. As they went along you could really hear the inviting singing sound of the electric motor and there was also the rumble and drumming of the metal tyres which also squealed as if in pain on the bends. Lastly not to be forgotten was the comical distortion on the driver's megaphone which made it sound like it was a Dalek telling you we had arrived at 'Central' and 'Bellevue'.
