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.

Trent at Matlock
When the National Bus Company added the former BET Group fleets to the already State owned BTC fleets some well known names disappeared. Probably the best known of these was North Western which was wound up as most of it's best routes were within the Manchester PTA SELNEC conurbation. The bus fleet was shared between SELNEC, Crosville, and all single-decker Garages here at Matlock and Buxton went to Trent. The twenty allocation changed here quickly as Alexander bodied Tiger Cubs from the main Trent fleet moved in, but as the SJA Stockport Registration on Marshall bodied Bristol RELL 346 suggests it was ordered by North Western.
