Busworld Photography: Off, a quick nip to the loo in Penkridge

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

Off, a quick nip to the loo in Penkridge

At 8.30am Penkridge seems very quiet but that couldn't be further from the truth as the popular market is just over the road and this is their Saturday. I have always been bothered by Arriva's Turquoise livery as I am slightly colour blind in the sense that through sunglasses or photographs like this I see it as light blue but to the naked eye it appears like a rather horrid green. Now that West Midlands Travel does it's own 54 Service to Stafford supported by the i54 we now enjoy two buses and hour to Wolverhampton. The Arriva bus takes longer as it goes via Brewood and even though anything is better than a Dennis Dart these once superior Wright bodied VDL's are now showing their age with rattles and oily smells.
