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.

HUUUUUUMMMMM-ER: JEEPER'S CREEPERS!
Well at least this one with it's high wheelbase won't get grounded but I hate them, maybe it's because everything big and trashy comes from America, but more to the point if I wanted to arrive in style I would much rather alight from a Rolls-Royce with some dignity. This monsterous creation had turned up at Uttoxeter for the horse racing earlier this year. In the background is a Mercedes of D&G one of the smaller companies that like Stevenson's did has expanded rapidly taking up the work that the big groups like First Group doesn't want to fight for in marginal areas like rural Staffordshire.
Christopher,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more on the lack of style and taste. But then I suppose people like you or I would charter a vintage bus if we really wanted to arrive in style?

Andrew I'm sure we would, a nice yellow post bus or a Harrington Cavalier.
