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.

Lisbon: Classic Makeovers
Lisbon Ttam No.465 is older than it looks as it was one of a batch of seventy-five Nos.400-474 ordered from the St Louis Tram Company in 1899 and delivered in 1900-1901. Many had been withdrawn by 1973 but others including this example had been rebuilt with modern fronts between 1952-1963. Leaving a cloud of smoke as it goes by another rebuilt vehicle, a rebodied half-cab AEC Regal heads in the opposite direction.
