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.

90's Streetlife: Goth Girls & Municipal Crest
I like Derby it's a lively and friendly place full of students and lively bars. I was never particularly keen on the Derby City Transport colours of bottle-green and cream and even less the later incarnation of blue and grey. Maybe that blue with white would have looked better but that might have made them look more like Tony Knowles smart Municipal buses in Lancaster; not that it would really have mattered as their local routes weren't likely to overlap. But sadly even this operator has now disappeared into history drowned out by the sea of Arriva aquamarine. After buying Daimler buses for many years with the demise of the Fleetline Derby tried trial batches of Leyland Olympians and Dennis Dominators but then turned to Volvo who supplied it with buses like this Citybus albeit with not too common and to my eyes rather unattractive bodies by Marslall of Cambridge.
