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

Early-Retirement looming in Wrexham

A lot of the older bus drivers who were set in their ways resisted the chance to earn better ways doing 'opo' believing that it wasn't work the extra burden, and no doubt many as I'm sure this driver in Wrexham did preferred the more civilised half-cab buses he drove throughout his career. By this time in Autumn 1981 sadly time was fast running out not just here in North Wales but at other fast diminishing outposts of the trusty old Bristol Lodekka like DFB 154 4224 FM..
