BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

Leyland Royal Tiger Doyen: M6 Services


Considering motorway service areas are such boring places one can still get some really good photos and I often used to stop there. This interesting view was taken at Keele Southbound in the Eighties and shows a Royal Tiger B54 coach belonging to National Travel South, one of a batch of seven in the former Timpson's of Catford fleet. As one might expect from a London operator traditionally they had been a local AEC customer till it's demise but in more recent times purchases had included Coaches, and of course manyDAF's, a large number of BovaLeylands. It looks as if the NCB lorry is waiting to get it's tyre changed
