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

Merseyside PTE's Only New Leyland Leopard


 Unlike other PTE's which set up a coaching division Merseyside PTE only had a small fleet for coachwork. No. 7003 was a single Leyland Leopard which was fitted with a Duple Dominant 'Express' body and whose driver with arms folded seemed to be going nowhere as it took it's turn to leave a busy Digbeth whilst on hire to National Express and bound for Southport..

Ah, the 15:00 connection! A worthy successor to its Cheltenham predecessor, with coaches from all conceivable operators going pretty much everywhere in the country. Something the likes of which we'll almost certainly never see again.

Thanks Ross, actually it was the mid-day mass departure on a Friday which was always very busy.
