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.

Impressed: Here is the bus I drive!
No not that one, it's not the nice big re-registered Plaxton bodied Volvo but the trusty little old Ford Transit cowering at the back. My employer Eagle Travel would let me have a much newer LDV to do my fifty-plus-mile school run in the afternoon but in the same way some drivers have always driven AEC or Leyland's I've always driven Transits. As a punishment any driver who bends their bus or lets it get scruffy will be given an older bus, so maybe as mine is the oldest mini-bus in the fleet if I do something wrong I will get something more new. Now that we are in the digital age I believe in taking plenty of these snaps as things change all the time and since this was taken a month ago we've moved premises from Seighford next-door to Stan Robinson back closer to home in Stafford.
