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.

Manchester: Park Royal bodied Atlantean
Partly because it owned Northern Counties the bus body-builder many of the Greater Manchester Transport buses carried NC bodies including of course most of the Atlanteans and all the Olympians. It was easy to spot the Park Royal bodied Atlanteans though as they had well-rounded front domes whereas NC bodies were more box-like. Some of my negatives turned out rather cloudy and fogged but the effect was not always too unpleasant maybe just losing some background detail. No 7822 from the long since closed Northenden Garage (NN) makes it's way along Deansgate before as it heads for Moss Side and Wythenshaw Estate to the south of the city.
