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.

Arriva LJ51 DLX: Running Late into Northwich

I go to Northwich quite often but as I don't get out and visit the town properly I see it as a challenge to stop at various locations at the side of the road and try to snap anything coming along. I was told a bus was due and as the sun was right waited ages last week for it to come towards me from the town. It didn't turn up and annoyed I was about to give up but it must have been late and came hurrying in from the opposite direction and good quite a good photo. This is a nice spot as coming in from the direction Davenham it's all fairly recent development whereas this is definately the old Northwich I remember. Actually two buses came together but this one is quite interesting as with it's Alexander 400 body it looks like a Dennis Trident but I'm pretty sure it's a DAF as they had some of this batch from London too at Wednesfield.
