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

Stevensons Wright Bodied Mercedes 0405 in Birmingham

Mercedes-Benz in the Nineties looked as though it might soon be making heavy inroads into the UK bus market but it didn't really happen. Minibuses and Wright bodies on the reliable O405's were quite popular like this Stevenson's example but the Citaro which followed gave off mixed messages especially fires and bad publicity from the London bendibuses. Since then they have been sold all over the world so they must have sorted out all the problems but I guess the Brits prefer to stick with their Alexander-Dennis Enviros and Wright bodied VDL's.
