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.

Badgerline Swiftlink
Two Badgerline double-deckers head off out of Bristol in the Eighties. Most NBC Leyland Olympians had ECW bodies but some for one or two operators including London Country and Bristol Omnibus had a Roe version of the body which was easily identified by it's more rounded windscreen. Also on a 'Swift Link' limited stop service but to Bath where this small batch of MCW Metrobuses bought for evaluation was based was one of the five.
Lovely, lovely collors...
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice...
Yes the Deregulated large operators came up with some bright and attractive liveries before the major groups spoilt it all with their corporate garb. Sadly Bristol is First Group grey today.
