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

C66HOM: Shoddy Build & Lack of Development Killed the Lynx

Before they placed large orders five of these Leyland Lynx buses including 1066 C66 HOM were tried by West Midlands Travel alongside some Volvos but I'm sure many will wonder why the less than satisfactory Leyland product was chosen for the substantial fleet needed but as well as cost playing a part no doubt a lot of the pressure was political. In the end Volvo bought out the flagging cash strapped Leyland Bus anyway and having promised to invest in an improved Lynx the old Swedish rival quickly dropped it from their range.
