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.

Leicester: Metro Scanias
Leicester City Transport took first the sophisticated Anglo-Swedish Metro-Cammell based Metro-Scania single-decker and then the double-deck Metropolitan in a big way before seeing the error of it's ways and buying sensibly and British again with the Gardner-Powered Dennis Dominator and Lancet. They may have been costly to run and not totally reliable but the way these buses effortlessly swished along on an air-suspended ride was a joy to behold.
