A popular attraction for the visitors of Plymouth has been a boat trip to the Naval Dockyard and here in the late Eighties an orange and cream Smith's Happiways Van-Hool bodied Leyland Tiger heads the queue. Later this company would become the familiar Shearings we know today with that distinctive blue livery.
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.
