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.

New buses in Dessau
After Reunification it seemed ramarkable how quickly the old East and West Germany started to look alike with the clothing, the busy streets and of course the buses. It didn't take long for the once ubiquitous Ikarus to disappear, indeed if I remember a number of new ones were left unsold. These were replaced with a mixture of used older buses from 'The West' and of course new examples like this new MAN with the added luxury of not just 'colour' but a digital display too. No doubt their modern suspension would be welcome on the still bumpy or cobbled streets.
