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.

The day someone shouted bring back the back-loaders
With the exception of one semi-preserved heritage bus, having not too long ago celebrated the end of it's half-cab back loaders Southampton Citybus joined the operators who jumped on the band-wagon by acquiring a fleet of ex-London Routemasters as part of their deregulation-offensive. A welcome sight and smart they looked too but I much preferred the real thing, their extremely smart dark red and cream East-Lancs bodied AEC Regents that made such a pleasing a striking contrast against the more modern Atlanteans here.
