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.

Einer Frau im Frauenfeld
Traditionally in Switzerland Post Buses parked in an easy welcoming fashion close to the trains but by the time I stopped going they moved them further back maybe showing their diminished national icon status. With about twelve vehicles the early-Nineties Frauenfeld PTT bus fleet comprised almost solely of these standard Mercedes-Benz 0405 buses but there was also a MAN midi-bus and later as elsewhere the odd dial a ride 'PubliCar' minibus arrived on the scene too. I'm a bit of nostalgia fan and after looking at some early Post-War photos of the very different bonneted Saurers taken on this spot I'm pleased to say that at least this tree that cast shade over them still looks just the same.
