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.

Crosville: 12.30pm Digbeth Coach Station
I used to like to be in Birmingham for the 12.30 lunchtime departure from Digbeth Coach Station as on mass hordes of National Express Leyland Leopard, Tigers, and even Royal Tiger Doyans would head off for the four corners of Great Britain. This Duple Dominant bodied Leyland Leopard belonging to Crosville might well have come from Holyhead on the westerly tip of Anglsea in Wales and was heading for Cromer near the most easterly point in Norfolk. Formely a National Travel East coach it found itself with Ribble before arriving at Crosville and I note it was at Oswestry Depot in 1986.
