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.

Where's this Mate? It's Manningtree between Ipswich and Colchester
This is one of those places whose name I usually can't remember, but Manningtree is rather more easy to remember as it has been in the news following the murder of a teenage girl. People seem to hate bus enthusiasts but we're not stupid we're just relics from an age when people had proper hobbies and didn't take drugs or be violent. However by the Eighties when Eastern National was part of the NBC with it's uninspiring liveries and large fleet of Nationals maybe it was time to head off down to the pub.
Sorry to disappoint, but this would be on line of route between Bishops Stortford and Chelmsford, svc.33 operating between these two points; suggest Great Dunmow?
ReplyDeleteThanks Ross, it's a long time ago and I did stop once in Maningree too. Coming to think of it I did do a job to Great Dunmow in my van and I also took some photos in Bishops Stortford..
