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.

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
