Hello Chris.
Wonderful photos as always, I really do enjoy all your photos and your interesting comments. Do you have any photos of westcountry operator Ford's Travel of Cornwall based near Plymouth, they had a very fine fleet of top spec coaches plus the usual old buses and coaches on schools work.
I have been lucky enough to drive a tiger like the one in your pic, a lovely machine A675 DCN, she really flew, great for overtaking newer coaches.
Keep up the good work, much appreciated.
Tom
Sorry Tom I don't suppose I have any Ford's travel unless they were tucked in the background at Bretonside. Thanks I am always most grateful for positive comments for even though I don't try to keep up with modern trends I take a lot of effort trying to present my photos in an interesting way. As for the Tiger rather the same way people get wedded to their favourite football team I'm a bit like that with buses and it took me many years to realise there might be better things around than leylands. Tigers didn't have the roar of the Leopard but once one grew accustomed to the transmission sounds these earlier coaches were quite pleasing and we had no end of them come and go at Stafford.Down's had one but I'm afraid they were not very impressed with it especially from a workshop point of view and it didn't last long with them and they clung on to the better engineered Volvo B10M
