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.

This one's too laid-back: She's no amber-gambler
I doubt if the bold promotional advertising for a Casino would encourage the driver or pedestrians to take more risks but in the days when the BVG Berlin buses were mostly a typical German dull cream colour they certainly added a bit of variety to the scene. Some of these all-over liveries were rather ghastly but this mostly brown design was rather attractive. Many schemes covered the whole bus like this but thankfully in this instance they did not feel there was a need to replace the radiator-grill with a plain panel and especially as this was one of the in my opinion nicer earlier double-deckers of this large type which still carried the legendry German Bussing name alongside MAN who had absorbed it. In the early Eighties No.2703 was about to leave The Zoo Bahnhof for Heerstr beside the Berlin Wall but close to Spandau where the bus was garaged.
