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 Morning in Blackburn
In Summer 1967 there was enough work to bring older members out to work like this Crossley bodied Guy Arab 111 No.123 CBV 423 bought for Blackburn's tramway replacement in 1949. It awaits it's next run to Guide via South Darwen whilst behind it is the Corporations other favoured bus the Leyland. This equally old all-Leyland PD1 No.114 BBV 909 of 1948 was bound for Shadsworth. Note on the first bus how operators used the limited to destination place to get the writing in.
that would be via Lower Darwen, a part of Blackburn Borough, South of the Town
