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.

Plymouth Buses: Whiter than red?
Actually this the earlier livery with more white and some grey as well as the red. In my opinion it is much more attractive than the latest version with just white in the centre. There are still a few Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Darts running about in these old colours including No.74 from the 2004 delivery.
Bit of a hybrid livery this one -- Plymouth have taken to overpainting the light grey skirts red on the older livery, as here.
ReplyDeleteThat isn't a problem it's just that a decent area of white looks much better and I hate the way the red across the dash forms a wedge shape following the latest fashion. Still it's good that they are smart, clean and still Plymouth's own red buses. I mustn't be too cherlish.
