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

KHR 99R: A once rare sight at Tiverton


When I took this view at Tiverton in june 1992 it was getting rare enough to warrent a photo of that once ubiquitous thing a rural Bedford on service work. At about the time when KHR 99R was built in 1975-6 the lightweight Ford coach too was starting to lose popularity quickly as the more hurried 'motorway age' demanded heavier more powerful motors travelling more frequently to distant popular destinations like Alton Towers or even Paris Disney.
