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.

Grey Green & Norfolk Motor Services
For many years before it started running service buses George Ewer's and later the Cowie Group's Grey Green Coaches was famous across East London for it's East Anglian Express services via Ipswich to the breezy coastal resorts like Caistor, Walton-on-the Naze and Great Yarmouth and . These used to depart from the Pentonville Road Coach Station in Kings Cross but following it's closure the terminus was moved to the more central Victoria Coach Station. Partners on the service included Norfolk Motor Services from Yarmouth who supplied this blue and cream Plaxton bodied Bedford whereas the typical Grey Green Leyland Leopard used on this service in 1980 bore Duple coachwork.
