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.

I bet the kids in Porto missed the Atlanteans
Riding on the back of a Leyland Atlantean mean't something quite different to the naughty scallywags of Porto and if they lived to tell the tale I'm sure they were sadly missed. But as you can see from this photo there was not much to hold on to. This operator started buying these buses in 1962 with bodywork by Martins and Caetano and these ten were followed in 1963-4 by another 30 by Dalfa. But of course it is the 1966 batch of more angular Caetano examples that most people remember.
