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

Brighton's new Leyland Panthers


Brighton raised a few eyebrows when it started it's driver only operation in 1968 employing it biggest buses half-cab Leyland PD3 double-deckers. But the next delivery of Leyland OPO buses were more suitable in the shape of Marshall and Stratchens bodied dual-entrance Panthers . After taking eight of these buses the Corporation returned to the double-decker and quickly built up a large fleet of Atlanteans.
