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.
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.
