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.

London Transport: DAF Berkhof
Deregulation in the 1980's was a big free for all and operator's not wanting to miss out quickly diverisfied not knowing which parts of the business would would reap the highest rewards. Even large mainly bus focused operator's like London Transport increased their share of tours, commuter and private hire work alongside of course the already well established Routemaster double-deck open top tour. A sign of the changing times was the delivery of this Berkhof bodied DAF coach in white which was seen approaching Victoria Gillingham Street Garage whose outdoor bus park was being used as the LT tours and charter coach station.
