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.

Yesterday: A Reunion with Warrington
I am quite fond of Warrington as I went to school not too far away at Great Budworth. In those days in 1966 of course heading out of town on the Wilderspool Road towards Northwich would have been very fine North Western Park Royal bodied AEC Renowns as that Cheshire outpost was their principal home. Still it's good to see the town of Warrington still has it's own buses and they are still a lovely red. I imagine this one of many of these attractiveWright bodied single-deckers and must be a Dennis Dart although the wheel-trims remind me more of the Scania. It's at least ten years since I last paid a visit and buswise much has changed and this being a Saturday no double-deckers were in service although there were still plenty in the garage nearby.
