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.

A grey day but don't put it off photographing old friends till tomorrow
How many times have you seen something you want a picture of and just kept putting it off. I've certainly done that enough times in the past and today if I want something I make an effort to get it. Take for instance this fine and now quite rare Duple Laser bodied Leyland Tiger I used to see most days on my school run, it would have been quite easy just to say that I would wait till the days got brighter in Spring. I have to go passed the school where it goes at Codsall as it's on my route and I started taking my digital camera hoping it would be there and parked in a good spot. Not many weeks after I took this view I heard that Elizabethan of Walsall had sold out to Majestic from near Featherstone, Cannock and now 'm so glad I took it as so far I haven't seen it working for it's new owner this term although thankfully I saw one of the other two Tigers that also did the same runs last Friday. The coach no longer carries it's original registration-number so I can't tell you much more.
