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

Hvide or White Bus to Helsingør Volvo B57-60 VBK/Karsen No.6
One of my favourite Independents in Denmark was Hvide or in English the White Bus based at Hørsholm. Some of the buses on this 188 route which followed the coastal road up to Helsinger from Klampenborg were branded 'Strand Buses'. It operated DAB-Leyland, Volvo and I even saw an AEC at the garage. Here in 1982 now ten years old we can see how good B57-60 VBK/Karsen bodied No.6 bus looked in that livery.
