BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

City of Oxford in Woodstock


By the early Eighties just before mini-bus-madness invaded our streets despite having a large rural area City of Oxford had very few single-deckers apart from service-coaches and indeed was fortunate enough not to be lumbered with that noisy icon of the National Bus Company the Leyland National single-decker. Instead it stuck to the dual-entrance Bristol VR and then also with ECW bodywork twenty-four very civilised Leyland Olympians like numerically the first No.201 seen to the north of the city in the pretty village of Woodstock.
