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.

National Rail Strike 1982
The strike of Summer of1982 wasn't very nice for rail travellers or the residents in London living close to Victoria Coach Station which was bursting at the seams with extra coaches which needed to queue up in nearby streets, but no doubt it was good news for British Rail's competitor National Express. At the front of the queue making it's way slowly passed parked vehicles and bemused anxious crowds was a large Trathens Skyliner Neoplan double-deck coach preparing to take some of the frustrated people at least towards Exeter and the West Country.
