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.

McGills Barrhead
Photographed in 1997 this Northern Counties Paladine bodied Dennis Dart was probably already owned by Cowie who took them over that year. Fortunately Stagecoach was still the only one of the big groups to inflict it's corporate identity on to everything that moved. My couple of days in Scotland was part of a short unplanned trip and I was glad I wasted a lot of film in Edinburgh and here in Glasgow catching the colours and buses of once well known small operators such as McGills that might have gone unrecorded.
