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.

A Leyland for Leyland Paints
This former Fishwick's Leyland Leopard XTB188D didn't travel very far to find a new owner as it remained in it's home town of Leyland where it became a staff bus for Leyland Paints. Unlike most demoted PSV's this Plaxton bodied coach still looked very appealing and smart. This was not the first former Fishwick Leyland to be used by this paint manufacturer so I expect much of it's excellent condition might be to do with a service contract with the coaches former owner whose coach garage was just to the side of this view.
