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

A MAN in Delemont

The Swiss Post Bus fleet under the PTT didn't operate a large number of MAN buses but they found a nitch providing some smaller midi-range buses like this very smart example seen in the Jura town of Delemont. Also now you know what violinist Nigel Kennedy used to do when he had no work playing the violin! This bus of 1993-4 would shortly join the main PTT fleet as another PAH local contractor (Posthalter) Mercay sold out taking the small local allocation of Mercedes-Benz 0405 buses from about eight buses to twenty-five and bringing in a lot more variety.
