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.

Saurers at Gelterkinden
Alongside PTT Aarau the village of Gelterkinden was something of a pure Saurer RH stronghold as the local garage management rebuffed the more sophisticated newer types from Mercedes-Benz and Setra delaying their introduction and eventual takeover. These solid and functional yet classic Swiss Post Buses had a timeless look about them that was seemingly neither modern nor old fashioned. These buses like Hess bodied P25826 of 1983 differed from their similar looking 'apline' counterparts in being both longer and equipped with a third exit.
