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.

Rush Hour in Porto
When I was in Porto in Summer 1984 this was one of the newest motorbuses a Volvo B10R No.844
The Volvo B10R with bodywork by Camo was the standard urban bus for many companies for many years. Standard length as well as articulated buses. Portugal must have had hundreds of them all together.
Correct. I think they really started to flood the fleets in 1984 and 1985. The same Camo coachwork was also used to rebody old Volvo's by the way. So they seemed to be numerous.

ReplyDeleteThey must have only just been entering service when I was there as I saw just a few.
