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.

Bern Mercedes-Benz Bendi 273
For many years the city of Bern stayed faithful to FBW for it's buses but when they ceased manufacture they turned to Volvo. However a few other vehicles were tried including about three Mercedes-Benz articulated buses with Swiss bodywork. They looked a bit different from the rest of the fleet but No.273 stood out even more as it received a rather unorthodox but quite attractive version with black lining-out of the universal orange town bus colours adopted in Switzerland for a while before thankfully being dropped again.
