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.

Leeds Central Bus Station: The 41 bus to Bramley
An Eighties image with plenty of buses to be seen in the Central Bus Station of Leeds and as well as the attractive Roe bodied West Yorkshire PTE Leyland Atlantean painted buttermilk and verona green we also catch sight of three West Riding vehicles in NBC poppy red but also carrying the PTE logo on their sides. Squeezed between an ECW Bristol VR and a fairly recent Leyland Olympian is a Northern Counties bodied Daimler Fleetline a type popular with many former BET operators in the early years of the National Bus Company like this a 1972 K-Reg example. The operator of this bus West Riding of course which with at one time a fleet numbering over 450 had not been part of the major BET Group but was in fact Britain's largest Independent.
