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: Something New
At one time not so long ago it seemed the British double-decker was doomed but thankfully their numbers are increasing again in both our large cities and towns. The large groups particularly Stagecoach tend to allocate the new ones to it's busiest areas like Manchester cascading older buses in turn to quieter places like Exeter. Here a still new 08-Series Alexander-Dennis double-decker passes Painswick Park in Wythenshaw but seems to be going in the opposite direction to the Airport. Maybe this is the reason why he doesn't want his face to be seen, a trait more usually found with the rather surly First Group crews..
