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

Lothian Leyland Lynx


Lothian was unique in ordering it's Leyland Lynx buses with a centre exit, but this didn't gaurantee them a long and eventful life at the Scottish Capital as they had barely reached mid-life before they were quickly sold some noteworthy examples finding their way to the rapidly expanding Rossendale Transport.

This particular bus went to Brylaine of Boston, instead of Rossendale Transport, and has recently returned north for preservation. Whilst with Brylaine, it lost its centre door. This will be returned to the bus as part of its restoration.

Thanks for your comment Steven. I'm glad one of these unique two-door Edinburgh Lynx buses has been preserved as not only were Mk2's not so common the Lothian examoles were particuarly attractive.
