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.

Yardley's of Birmingham
I love taking pictures of buses and coaches with lots of people about, it makes them come to life and a lot more interesting. One of my favourite places was Victoria Coach Station with it's constant hustle and bustle. But as time went on more of it got enclosed but there was still and open section by the bottom exit which caught the afternoon sun just right. Here during the Eighties were the National Express departures for Birmingham and helping out was a Plaxton bodied Leyland Leopard which formerly ran for National Travel London but was now looking very smart in the colours of Yardley and branded by them 'Executive'. Personally I was far more impressed by the black painted Leyland polished wheel-trims and all that seemed to be missing was a 'Leopard' badge.
