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.

Derby: The Gateway to Health
Well you can't use this gateway any more because like many other important transport landmarks it has been pulled down. Once of course the magnificent curved Art-Deco Derby Bus Bus Station saw the likes of Trent, Barton, Derby Corporation, Felix, and Blue Bus of Willington. Also of course there were regular visits from others too like Midland Red, North Western and the smart AEC Reliance coaches of Yelloways on it's joint express services to East Anglia. Barton had the same Plaxton Panorama Elite bodywork on it's many Leyland Leopards like 1419 PNN 773M but built to a much lower semi-coach specification contained more seats, 53 as opposed to 49.
