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.

Dennis Dart buses with Plaxton bodywork are usually associated with the Badgerline companies but of course they could be found elsewhere such as here at Nottingham and the similar look of the minibus in the background is carried an Optare minibus.
Yes I agree Midland Red West had two large batches of these very fast and powerfull Plaxton Verde bodies on a Dennis Lance never on a Dart for the many Black Country services now operated by Diamond Bus who also had a couple that ended up with Green Bus
Thank you Darren and Richard for your comments and corrections. I'm afraid I like taking photos a lot more than reading about these buses. Often if I have it close at hand I do look things up but I'm afraid if I think it's going to be more of a chore I tend to just make an intelligent guess. Of course I could look them all up properly but if I did I wouldn't bother to post so many of these for you to enjoy.
But it's a Volvo! A B10B.These Plaxton Verde bodies were built on Dennis chassis's but on Lances rather than Darts. Love the website and photos!
