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

Stafford: Turner's mean nothing here

Being the newest and best appointed single-deckers the six comfortable Gardner-Powered Leyland National2 buses delivered to PMT in 1982 were regular performers on the long trunk route from Hanley to Stafford and on occasion this included No.306 which was painted in the traditional colours of a recently absorbed Independent called Turner's whose brown buses used to reside at Brown Edge in the opposite direction far from the County Town. By this time Potteries buses were being painted in their new Privatisation red and yellow livery and were a much prettier sight than that NBC poppy-red but this attractive goodwill liveried bus was equally welcome.
