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.

Saturday Afternoon in Stafford
When I was a teenager in Stafford the place to hang about was outside Boots the chemist in the Market Square which has a canopy so one can avoid the inevitable rain-drops as well. It seems in the Eighties the youngsters had moved down to Marks and Spencers as they were obviously upwardly mobile. However life might be short and sweet for the unwary because buses like PMT ECW bodied Leyland Olympian No.739 had to do a shap turn here as they headed for the X60 terminus at the railway station. If the sun was not strong enough at least the bus exhaust got those white English legs brown.
