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.

Trolleybuses: Bye-bye Basle
The future of the trolleybus system in Schaffhausen on the Swiss-German Border still hangs in the balance but nearby in Basle following a public referendum it has been decided to replace the eleven Neoplan trolleybuses with gas powered buses later next year rather than to invest more money into the network extending it. When I took this photo in about 1996 one could still see a previous generation of Hess bodied FBW trolleybuses dating from 1975 (911-920) still hard at work.
